With the demands from government regulation for e-mail and document retention policies and the need for better disaster recovery and business continuity plans following the wake of the natural disasters of 2005 and 9/11, storage needs have exploded. Tape has proven to be a very unreliable solution for backup, but is still a good answer for long term archival. Storage Area Network (SAN) vendors have developed solutions to address these backup, disaster recovery and information lifecycle management (ILM) issues. However, the traditional storage vendors; EMC, NetApp, IBM, and HDS have failed to deliver cost-effective solutions for the mid-market. This has opened the door for a group of new players specifically focused on the mid-market, bringing innovative enterprise class functionality in configurations more suitable to the size and budgets of our clients.

StoreVault by NetApp
The StoreVault S500 is a new integrated SAN platform designed specifically for the small business market.
