NORFOLK, Va. -- Wasabi Systems today announced the availability of its new VMX iSCSI SAN appliances: complete storage solutions that offer unprecedented performance, flexibility and scalability for the price. The enterprise level storage architecture of the VMX arrays combine affordable, high-capacity SATA drive technology with multiple GbE interfaces, making highly reliable, accelerated data access a reality for virtual systems. High speed, high reliability SAS drives are also available.

Delivering scalable storage capacity and a flexible SAN infrastructure, Wasabi VMX is designed to virtualize storage from the data path without imposing any performance penalties.
