IBM has come up with a solution to the storage problems medium to large sized businesses face. Known in short as Sonas, the Scale Out Network Attached Storage allows businesses 1-30 pods. Each pod contains a storage controller, a storage node, and either 7,200 or 15,000 drives that can be scaled up to 14.4 petabytes – a massive amount of storage! The Sonas storage solution also comes complete with a Tivoli Storage Manager backup and archive solution. Everything businesses need to quickly, easily and safely store their data!
