The Sun StorageTek 2510 array affordably and simply meets the ever-increasing storage demands of a wide range of organizations. With iSCSI host interface connectivity and SAS back-end technology, the Sun StorageTek 2510 array will specifically benefit environments where flexibility, price/performance, and availability of administrative staff are critical IT decision factors. For SMBs and workgroups, the Sun StorageTek 2510 array is easy-to-use affordable primary storage to consolidate data and take overburdened Direct Attach Storage (DAS) to the next level. For the enterprise and larger organizations, the Sun StorageTek 2510 array is a reliable and robust system for their remote sites as well as a cost-effective Business Continuity/Disaster Recovery (BC/DR) solution.The proliferation of servers and influx of data growth in today's IT environments is not limited to just the enterprise, but is a common challenge across most organizations today. To leverage data to its fullest extent, it must be manageable as well as accessible when needed. The connecting of storage devices via a storage area network, or SAN, is generally recognized to provide substantially higher scalability, flexibility, availability and manageability than is possible than with DAS environments. Storage consolidation using iSCSI host connectivity allows simple, rapid set-up of a SAN without the cost and complexity of Fibre Channel switches.By leveraging iSCSI technology, the Sun StorageTek 2510 array supports a simple and commonplace technology. This ensures low costs through commodity economics as well as leverages an enormous knowledge and experience base - as some level of network expertise is typically present in all sizes of organizations.
