Over at Quantum today (Stand 7.G29), I got to catch a demonstration of the Workgroup Archive. It combines NAS simplicity found in common infrastructures with the scalability of the company’s StorNext software.

The solution is preconfigured, and setup can be as simple as plugging in a few cables and setting up data movement policies. It supports the NFS and CIFS protocols, which allows connectivity to practically all standard applications while reducing setup hassle to a minimum.

The product can scale from 23TB to 316TB, enabling customers to grow from a small storage environment to a much larger system without any equipment swap-out.
