Dell Expands PowerVault Storage Family With High-Performance Network File Servers Frank: Looks like now Dell has now become a full player in the storage biz according IDC, hey that is a lot of 'boxes' they got going there in Austin. ===================================== Dell to Offer Network-Attached Storage Capabilities for Windows NT and Shared Windows NT/UNIX Environments ROUND ROCK, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 3, 1999-- Dell Computer Corporation (Nasdaq:DELL - news), the world's leading direct computer systems company, today announced a new line of PowerVault(tm) storage products designed to speed access to information on a computer network and help customers cost-effectively store and protect data in various file formats. Dell's new network-attached storage (NAS) products enable information from Microsoft® Windows NT® or UNIX files to be stored and accessed through a single, dedicated file server, called a ''storage appliance'' or ''filer.'' The new PowerVault 700 family of filer products attach directly to a computer network to offload file access from general purpose computer servers, freeing those systems to handle just the application data processing. Dell, the No. 2 server vendor in the United States and No. 4 worldwide(a), will target the new products to customers with Windows NT, and mixed Windows NT and UNIX environments. ''IDC forecasts the NAS market to grow by more than 53 percent per year to reach $5 billion by 2003. Dell's NAS filer will participate in this rapid expansion of the network-attached storage market,'' said Robert Gray, research director for International Data Corporation, a leading industry analyst firm. ''With this announcement, Dell becomes both a full-spectrum storage system supplier and an important provider of network-attached storage.'' biz.yahoo.com
