Cloud Storage comes of age with IBM's new offering !

IBM recently unraveled a new disk-based archive array called the IBM Information Appliance that can scale to 300TB and offers retention rules and customized policies. The SAN Volume Controller storage virtualization appliance now supports solid state disk drives, greatly increasing the throughput of the device. IBM's new Smart Business Storage Cloud private cloud service uses commodity components such as x86 servers in IBM's BladeCenter rack, and a scaled-down version of the IBM's high-performance General Parallel File System to offer a preconfigured rack-mountable file-based cloud storage offering.
