Viking Enterprise Solutions (VES) has launched ONYX Series, a large capacity, small footprint, high density, network-attached unified storage solution. The ONYX 10400S is a 5U model VES says will lower deployment costs while delivering seamless, multi-petabyte scaling in multiple JBOD enclosures.
This turnkey, unified storage solution is well-suited for backup & archive, online disaster recovery, video surveillance, and media content storage. The small footprint (5U) and up to 2PB capacity will save deployment costs, while versatile I/O expansion and multi-layer security allow ONYX solutions to run mainstream applications with server-grade performance for modern enterprises.
