It’s no secret that storage concerns are top of mind for most admins. However, it’s also no secret that the massive storage solutions employed by most large enterprises are too complex and expensive for the small or medium sized business. Hoping to address the latter concern, Hitachi has announced its Simple Modular Storage Model 100: an easy to use network storage device with a relatively small price tag. The Model 100 comes packed in with an easy-to-use GUI setup app, automatic backup functionality and claims of “non-stop data availability.” These puppies range in size from 1 to 9 Terabytes and start at a cool five grand.
