SANnet II solutions enable VeriStor to further reduce overall storage costs for their enterprise customers by supporting high capacity drives, such as 300GB SCSI (10K RPM) and 300GB FC (10K RPM) and offers the flexibility for as many as 32 logical drives with up to 64 Terabytes per logical drive. By combining high drive capacities with innovative FC and SATA product designs, Dot Hill is able to deliver twice the performance of competing solutions with 30 percent lower costs. SANnet II also meshes seamlessly into VeriStor's comprehensive approach by providing simplified management capabilities, including the ability to send SNMP traps to an SNMP management console, send email messages, and to broadcast events to specified servers. Logical drives can be initialized or expanded via the online interface and new CLI commands allow remote scripting to configure, manage, monitor, or troubleshoot storage arrays.

Dot Hill has consistently delivered in both of these arenas. " Steve Bishop, CTO of VeriStor Systems As a "channel-oriented" partner, Dot Hill's sales and support methodologies dovetail perfectly with VeriStor's unique valued-added approach of bringing together best-of-breed products. Instead of dictating other aspects of the overall data storage architecture, the interoperability of SANnet II products and the flexibility of Dot Hill's organization give VeriStor great latitude to design, deploy and support the optimal solution set.
