Xiotech Unveils Disruptive Storage Technology

Lxy writes "After Xiotech purchased Seagate's Advanced Storage Architecture division, rumors circulated around what they were planning to do with their next-generation SAN. Today at Storage Network World, Xiotech answered the question. The result is quite impressive, a SAN that can practically heal itself, as well as prevent common failures. There's already hype in the media, with much more to come. The official announcement is on Xiotech's site."

The disk healing features are very interesting.

We have a Xiotech Magnitude that we paid ~$150K for in 2003 that is sitting around like a giant paper weight. Any takers? $3,000? $2,000? going once... going twice... :)

It stores whatever you want.

I'd like mine to store beer and bacon. Any idea on the capacity or replication capabilities?

How is hot-swapping a drive self healing?

The engineer swapping the disks is chained to the unit, has no name, sleeps in a doghouse and was a part of the delivery.
