See What Else the Press is Saying
The Snap Server 500 Series has already garnered many mentions in the press, including:
“Mike Nelson, manager of Information Systems for Columbia, Md.-based Amerock, has been testing the Adaptec 550 Snap Server… ‘We're connecting the [550] appliance up to our servers via iSCSI rather than straight network-to-network connectivity.
