Gateway has unveiled three enterprise storage products for entry level users in small to medium-size businesses, mid-sized businesses and educational institutions. The new products include a storage area network (SAN) called E-842R and two automated tape backups, the E-824R and E-826R. The new storage products have been designed to be both affordable and scalable. The E-842R serves as an entry point into storage area networking, flexible enough to use either high-performance serial attached SCSI (SAS) or low-cost, high-capacity serial attached ATA (SATA II) hard drives. The two tape backup products are both in Gateway's SuperLoader 3 family, designed to avoid human error by automating all backup tasks except for physically inserting or removing tapes from the autoloader.The tape backup system is available at US$2,499, while the E-842R SAN will be available July 13 at a price of $6,599.
