PRODUCT GUIDE: CELEROS EZSAN XR23
Celeros, a new player in the iSCSI market, combines Wasabi System's
Storage Builder OS and commodity hardware in the EzSAN XR23. The result
is a very low-priced iSCSI array. Redundancy and snapshot features are
absent, but the EzSAN handled well in the lab, proving to be a cheap yet
effective way to add lots of storage when redundancy and snapshot
features are not necessary.
