----------------------------------------
The DDN NAS Scaler enterprise file storage platform provides
multi-protocol, multi-tenant access to NFS, CIFS, HTTP and FTP clients
into a scalable, petabyte-scale storage pool managed by up to 16 NAS
Scaler file storage gateways. In addition to its scale-right
efficiencies, NAS Scaler supports capabilities to automate storage
management and data management while also accelerating routine file
access processes, including:



*)Multi-Dimensional Performance
*)Dynamic Storage Tiering
*)Enterprise Data Management
*)Best-In-Class Data Center Efficiency

"DataDirect Networks Gets Into NAS Business"

  "According to Bisen, the major differentiator for this offering is
   the ability to scale capacity and performance independently, thereby
   avoiding the need to over-provision hardware. So if you need deep
   capacities without additional performance, or more performance
   without additional storage, you can configure the NAS appliances
   accordingly."

  "Another ingredient to DDN's secret sauce is its dynamic storage
   tiering, in which the system transparently migrates files between
   the more expensive performance media and lower-cost capacity media
   within the storage appliance. The system software maintains a
   "heat map" of the file system and automatically moves the most
   accessed files to the higher performance tier and the least accessed
   files to the capacity drives. "We are providing a capability for
   high performance archives, which was a paradox for the longest time,"
   says Bisen."

  "As a result, Bisen says NAS Scaler will be 25 to 30 percent more
   cost effective than competing solutions from NetApp or Isilon,
   taking TCO into account. DDN is also using an inclusive pricing
   model, where licensing is independent of protocol support or per
   terabyte capacity. "We've insured that the pricing is very
   deterministic," he says"
