Dell has announced three new PowerVault network-attached storage (NAS) servers designed to help customers quickly and easily add, consolidate and manage storage directly on their network, regardless of operating system. The new Dell PowerVault 755N, 750N and 715N storage servers are based on Microsoft's Windows 2000 Advanced Server operating system, enabling customers to consolidate storage in a cost-effective way by leveraging existing network security and backup infrastructures. The NAS servers can be set up in as little as 15 minutes with minimal IT expertise and no network downtime. The PowerVault NAS servers allow file access and sharing between Microsoft Windows, Novell NetWare, UNIX, Linux and Apple Macintosh operating systems. The products include Dell's ActiveArchives technology, which creates and preserves point-in-time snapshots of stored data to help guard against loss from network outages or disruptions. The NAS servers also feature LAN-free backup software enabling data backups to occur directly to locally attached Dell PowerVault tape systems. The new NAS servers can also be configured with third-party software for data backup, disk management or anti-virus protection for more seamless integration with customers' existing file serving applications. The PowerVault 750N and 755N servers are available immediately, priced starting at $8,700.
