By using ISEs as the fundamental element ofstorage instead of disk drives, the Emprise(TM) storage systems are able tovirtually eliminate the need for service, scale from one terabyte to onepetabyte and dramatically boost performance, validated by SPC tests. Thesystems include a five year hardware warranty and there is no price premiumfor the new technology.

"Exponential growth in data storage capacitycontinues, but reliability, performance and manageability haven't keptpace. We have fundamentally rethought storage from the ground up, and withthe ISE have developed break-through technology, which is tested, provenand ready to go."
