FIA Storage Systems and Aberdeen to
Deliver High Reliability NAS Systems to Enterprise IT and SMB Markets
 SAN
CLEMENTE, California. - FIA Storage Systems today announced that Aberdeen LLC, a leading direct marketer of network solutions, computers and computer hardware, will now offer the POPnetserver family of network-attached storage (NAS) systems to its customer base. With this agreement, POPnetserver becomes the first entry- and mid-level NAS storage products sold by Aberdeen to offer hot swappable drives, a critical reliability feature that allows administrators to replace defective components without taking the system offline.
POPnetserver NAS appliances will be available through Aberdeen LLC e-commerce site,
www.aberdeeninc.com,
and through the company's staff of technically-trained outbound sales account managers and telesales representatives. The company distributes to over 130,000 SMB solution providers, enterprise IT managers, Internet ISP/IPP/ASP, government, school contractors, and the Telecommunications industries.
"A tremendous opportunity exists in the storage market, and FIA's POPnetserver is a very competitive product offering that will help us grow our business in that arena," said Jack Tateel, vice president of sales, Aberdeen LLC. "We believe the POPnetserver NAS is a natural complement to the Aberdeen computer and server products. Additionally, we conducted our own test of the POPnetserver 4000 and were extremely impressed with its performance. The 4000 is the best product in its category and a worthy competitor to Quantum's SNAP products."
The entry-level POPnetserver 2000 and midrange POPnetserver 4000 provide up to 240GB and 320GB of storage capacity in a 1U enclosure, respectively. Both units offer RAID levels 0, 1 and 5 (POP4000 offers 5+ hot spare), and heterogeneous platform support for Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, Linux, Unix, Apple, and Netware.
