NetApp has launched a new SMB storage box, the StoreVault S500, which the company reckons is the first all in one NAS solution accessible for smaller budgets.

NetApp CEO Dan Warmenhoven said: "Other vendors push customers to purchase multiple products to do SAN and NAS or make an up-front technology choice even as iSCSI and Fibre Channel are emerging in the SMB market."

The StoreVault S500 is scaleable to 6TB and available now, starting at $5,000. More from the press release here (http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/060626/20060626005207.html?.v=1).

NetApp recently targeted the other end of the storage scale with the release of ONTAP GX (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/06/12/netapp_ontap_gx/). ®
