SMBs face unique challenges. When new servers are purchased, typically they will house several drives. For a SMB with a restrictive budget, this is often viewed as a convenient and low-cost solution for their data storage. However as the organization grows, this distributed storage strategy leads to wasted data space, duplicated functions, inefficiencies in data protection and availability inconsistencies.
 

A SMB can take an overburdened internal storage infrastructure to the next level by using the flexible and affordable SAS-based DS3200 Express storage system. The DS3200 combines next-generation SAS technology with time-proven designs for external storage and intuitive management interface to create a fully-featured storage system ideally-suited for the SMB. By moving storage outside the server and sharing storage across several servers, the business can increase the capacity, management efficiency and availability of their data solution.  Data Sheet
