High-density storage solution for Service Providers and others
The need for storage is growing dramatically, especially for Service Providers (ASPs, ISPs, and SSPs) where disk capacity and physical floor space are always at a premium. The Compaq StorageWorks Service Provider 24000 (SP24000), also called "Terabytes in a Cabinet," is a perfect solution. This space-saving integrated RAID storage solution uses 36 GB disk drives to pack 3.4 TB of UltraSCSI disk capacity into a footprint of only seven square feet.
