JMR Electronics today introduced the FORTRA Desktop 6-Bay, a powerful, compact Fibre Channel storage solution designed to bring departmental-level storage features to smaller, cost-conscious organizations.

Measuring just 11 inches by 7 inches by 12 inches, the Desktop 6-Bay is, according to JMR, the smallest form factor large capacity, high-performance 2GB Fibre Channel solution on the market. The 6-drive, 2GB Fibre Channel device offers an easy, cost-effective way to increase storage capacity and deliver an enterprise-strength storage solution to the desktop, a workgroup or department. With its small footprint, the 6-bay tower can provide up to 876GB of Fibre Channel storage in environments where space is at a premium. By adding more FORTRA enclosures, the Desktop 6-Bay can be easily scaled as storage needs grow.

JMR says that the device is also an attractive solution for small or home offices with massive photo, music or video files.
