(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Web host InetServices (www.inetservices.com) is now offering both the Dell (www.dell.com) PowerVault MD3000 direct attached storage array and the MD3000i high-performance iSCSI storage area network array.
InetServices has offered the Dell PowerVault MD1000 disk storage array for more than two years, but some customers sought the added benefits of the newer MD3000, which comes with a powerful storage management interface that can help automatically configure the system for optimal performance. The MD3000 as 15 available drive slots for a total storage capacity of up to 15TB, and two additional MD1000 expansion enclosures can be added for a total of 45TB. InetServices will be offering both the 300GB 15K RPM drives and the new 1TB 7.2K RPM Nearline SAS drives.
The price for the MD1000 starts at $299 per month and the MD3000 at $499.
InetServices is also now offering a dedicated iSCSI SAN with Dell’s PowerVault MD3000i network storage array, which is ideal for a multi-server environment such as InetServices’ recently announced virtual private data center offering. Using SCSI Ethernet technology, the MD3000i can connect up to 16 servers using a Gigabit Ethernet switch, which eliminates the need to build a costly fiber channel infrastructure. The MD3000i also has 15 available drive slots and can be expanded with two MD1000 expansion enclosures for 45TB of storage capacity. The MD300i starts at $599 per month.
