Health Management Technology, Feb, 2004

Reducing complexity and management by enabling storage area network (SAN) and network-attached storage (HAS) functionality to coexist in a single system, the NS600G offers a Celerra HAS gateway that enables users to easily and cost-effectively integrate NAS functionality into existing CLARiiON CX600 and CX400 storage systems.

It features transparent, dynamic failover to a hot standby data mover, hardware RAID protection, nondisruptive component replacement, storage processor battery backup and advanced volume management for high availability. Using a choice of management tools--Web-based, Windows, UNIX or framework management--.the NS600G can be managed from a single console as a stand alone system or as part of an entire infrastructure. A combination of Fibre Channel and ATA drives can be used in the same system for high-capacity, low-performance requirements. EMC Corp., Hopkinton, Mass. www.rsleads.com/402ht-179
