Short Take: Quantum to offer new file server
Quantum announced a new file server appliance in its Snap product line today, a $499 device that provides 10GB of storage after connecting the device to a local network. The new server, the Model 1000, is smaller than its predecessors, replacing a $995, 8GB server. It will be available December 1, the company said. Server appliances are servers that are designed to be easier to use and sometimes less expensive than general-purpose servers.
