Linux
As Linux has gained prominence as a cost-effective, open standards platform, integration with all major versions of this operating system (including Red Hat and SuSE) is a critical element for effectively managing your data. Consolidating your Linux servers onto a SAN is not enough – connectivity, availability, protection, and management must all be considered in order to optimize your Linux environment. An EqualLogic iSCSI SAN provides a highly reliable, available, flexible storage platform for Linux environments with advance management and protection features.
