BladeStore Disk Subsystem

StorageTek’s BladeStore disk subsystem provides a new alternative for economically deploying high capacity disk-based storage to protect your business critical information, or provide fast access to frequently accessed fixed content. BladeStore is a robust ATA disk-based storage system for open systems environments; offering performance, enterprise-class reliability and availability, extreme storage density and scalable capacity at an affordable price point. StorageTek’s Intelligent Blade Architecture (IBA) combines the affordability of ATA disk technology with the performance of Fibre-Channel to create high capacity storage blades that are then used to create a high-density disk subsystem optimized for secondary or capacity disk applications.
