Dell recently announced that its new PowerVault(TM) storage area network (SAN) solution would support a broad range of servers.
According to Dell, support for many Microsoft(R) Windows NT(R) and Windows(R) 2000, Intel-based platforms allows it to offer customers a storage solution that leverages their existing Windows server investments, while scaling to accommodate their growing data requirements. This latest capability, Dell says, allows the PowerVault SAN to work together with Windows servers from vendors including Compaq, IBM and HP.
In a demonstration at Storage Networking World last week, Dell exhibited the new PowerVault 660F Fibre Channel array within a Dell PowerVault SAN, in addition to showcasing the PowerVault SAN’s interoperability support with its own, Compaq, HP and IBM servers.
