Adaptec Launces Snap Server 700i

MILPITAS, Calif. -- Adaptec, Inc. (NasdaqGM:ADPT - News), a global leader in trusted storage solutions, today announced the Snap Server 700i series of iSCSI storage appliances, which deliver 1 to 36TBs of easily expanded capacity using any combination of SAS and SATA drives. The 700i series sets new benchmarks for performance, price/performance, and scalability for medium-sized businesses looking to deploy an IP Storage Area Network (IP SAN) for their Linux, VMware, or Windows servers(1). Synchronous mirroring between two Snap Server 700i series appliances with multi-pathing support for Windows servers provides maximum uptime for mission-critical applications such as Exchange, or SQL Server.

The Snap Server 700i series is comprised of three (3) 1U 19" rack-mount models, and leverages advanced Adaptec RAID technology for maximum performance and data protection. The Snap Server 720i provides 1TB or 2TBs using SATA drives. The Snap Server 730i provides 3TBs using SATA drives. The Snap Server 750i provides 1.2TB using 15K RPM SAS drives. Capacity can be added to any model by using 2U Adaptec SANbloc S50 expansion chassis, each of which houses any combination of up to 12 hot-swappable SATA or SAS drives.

"The Snap Server 700i series of iSCSI storage arrays from Adaptec provide an outstanding choice for Microsoft Exchange or SQL Server hosting," said Jon Toigo, CEO of Toigo Partners International. "The Snap Server 730i that we tested provided excellent availability with synchronous mirroring and application consistent snapshots. With its excellent performance and competitive pricing, the Snap Server 700i series might just be the target to beat."
