Eliminate Storage Complexity

Combining the ease-of-use of NAS with cost-effective scalability, a Snap Server 4500 with Snap Disk 10 expansion arrays provides an integrated solution that is easier to deploy and manage than traditional direct-attached or tape solutions. A single Snap Server 4500 can support up to two Snap Disk 10 arrays for a maximum of 3 TB. This allows administrators to buy for current needs and easily expand to handle future storage requirements. The Snap Disk 10 can easily be managed by using a Web browser to access the management console of the host server.

A Snap Disk 10 controller card (not included) must be installed in the Snap Server 4500 prior to attaching the first Snap Disk 10. Each controller has two connectors so only one card is required for up to two Snap Disk 10 arrays. All other required components (cables, software, etc.) are included with each Snap Disk 10.
