“We are running a variety of systems, from high performance NFS servers for clusters to parallel file systems for massive scientific data sets. With our data requirements growing exponentially, CACR recently went through a review of our storage architecture. Our requirement was a highly robust solution to store what is essentially the crown jewel of CACR -- code repositories and images of home directories. The Sun StorageTek NAS Appliance delivers the reliability, expandability, and performance at a fraction of the competition's price.”
—Mark Stalzer, Executive Director CACR, Caltech
