LONG BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 28,
2004--Globalstor Data debuted the ExtremeStor-iNAS,
NAS/iSCSI server today during the annual Storage World
Conference (SWC). Incorporating as many as 24, 250GB
hot-swappable SATA Serial Advanced Technology Attachment)
hard drives, ExtremeStor-iNAS provides IT managers with up
to 6TB of scaleable storage and low-cost, high-performance
iSCSI file access in a single, consolidated centralized
storage management solution. Supporting RAID levels 0, 1, 5
and 0+1, ExtremeStor-iNAS is ideal for today's
data-intensive enterprises offering storage pools for both
workgroup and departmental configurations.
ExtremeStor-iNAS integrates
Dual Intel(R) Xeon(TM) 2.4Ghz processors for maximized
computing power over a dual gigabit network interface, Linux
minimized OS on a solid state flash disk for ultimate
reliability, and comes standard with Ultra 320 SCSI, or the
option to add Fibre Channel HBA for even greater
scalability. Featuring three hot-swappable power supplies
and three hot-swappable fans, the ExtremeStor-iNAS is
well-equipped to safe guard small and medium businesses
against downtime and critical data loss. A vast improvement
over IDE disk drive-based solutions, SATA offers a faster,
more efficient transfer rate of 150 Mbyte/s and connects the
drive directly to the host unlike the slower shared
connection of standard IDE drives.

consolidation of multiple file servers to provide the most
efficient possible use of enterprise storage
resources," said Scott Leif, President of Globalstor

compatibility, speed, reliability and cost efficiency are
the essence of this easily managed and scaleable storage
appliance."
