RELDATA Unifies iSCSI SAN, NAS and VMware Certification into One

Ask any VMware administrator what the implications are of using a non-certified storage solution in their VMware environment and they shudder to think of the consequences if they call VMware support.

RELDATA 9240i Gives Delta Dental More for Less

No one wants to pay more for less, yet that was exactly the situation that Delta Dental of Colorado was facing as it looked to upgrade its FC SAN to meet new application requirements.

Unified Storage Platforms Becoming a Prerequisite for Delivering on the Promise of Networked Storage

Failing to capitalize on all of the possibilities that networked storage offers is a mistake that many midsize organizations can and do make. “Disk drives” and “storage arrays” condition these organizations to think of storage as a “dumb” device so much so that they fail to realize that today’s storage systems and disk drives have little in common.
