Not directly related to Asterisk but I'm sure one or two of you will get
hot and bothered over this.

<http://www.thecus.com/products_over.php?cid=10&pid=82>  is a brand new
7 drive Raid NAS server.

y8/s320/2008_10290024.JPG> Allows network seperate configurable LAN and
WAN ports. The eSata drive can be used for offloading onto another
disk/tape solution. In addition there is a PCI slot that I've been told
is there to create 'multiple N7700 clusters' though I haven't seen it
done and not sure what the limitations are but I've been told you can
stack 7 of them in a cluster!!!!

Unfortunately I'm still waiting for the 7 x Seagate 1.5 Tb drives
ST31500341AS drives to arrive so at the moment it's just sitting there
looking all hot and pretty.

Although I'm using it for my personal home use i'm sure it will be right
at home in a SME without the high pricepoints for a Pillar or similar
NAS solution.

If you are looking for a solid NAS and those puny 2 and 4 drive boxes
are not enough for you :) then you should check out the N7700.


Cheers,

Dean

P.S. This was one of the first 50 or so to land in the country this week
so you might find it hard to get your own. Also they are coming out with
an rackbased version in about 2 months if you want to wait for it.
