New economical computer storage for SMEs unveiled

Published On 21 February 2007 at 13:09:22

The launch of new products designed to make data storage more economical for small and medium sized businesses (SMEs) has been announced today.

Dell is offering SMEs products which make consolidation easier and simplify storage systems to accommodate the growing capacity requirements of many businesses.

The first of the two new products is Dell/EMC CX3-10, which promises to "simplify storage operations by bundling necessary software for failover and management". The second is the PowerVault tape libraries, which are designed to provide users with less complicated data protection.

These systems are designed to aid customers in the backing up, recovering and archiving of critical data and in the creation of reliable, "centralised solutions" for storage.

Darren Thomas, vice president and general manager for Dell's storage business, commented: "Small and medium businesses today are seeing the same challenge of managing significant data growth with flat budgets that large businesses started to see a few years ago. Our mission is to help customers balance this equation.

"We are delivering capabilities that were historically out of reach for one of the fastest-growing customer segments - small and medium businesses."

Dell was placed 8th in a ranking of the most-admired businesses in the United States by Fortune magazine in 2006.
