For home directories, file sharing, project collaboration, or data warehousing, availability and access to files is a necessity to maintain or improve productivity. The Sun 5310C provides high availability for mission critical data in a simple-to-configure and easy-to-manage system that cost-effectively scales with your storage needs. Traditional server-attached storage architectures are equipped with numerous features that help maintain data availability through most hardware failures, but few of them provide true redundancy throughout the entire data I/O channel.Hardware features such as hot-swappable hard drives and power supplies only provide a part of the story. In order to ensure that data is available at all times, a different breed of storage product is necessary to provide redundancy of all hardware components. The Sun 5310C NAS Appliance helps to ensure that a path to critical data is always available.
