Compaq's innovative design and integration work for the Smart Array family of products adds customer value that is unmatched in the industry. Large-scale use of Smart Array products facilitates a much lower cost of ownership than many competitive server storage products.
The Smart Array 221 brings exceptional performance, data availability and entry-level server costs to customers that once believed that reliable data protection had to be expensive. The SA-221 is Compaq's second entry-level class array controller, replacing the SMART-2SL, built on seven generations of array controller design and integration for Compaq servers. The Smart Array 221 controller offers investment protection for branch offices and businesses that can't afford to leave their data unprotected, or that depend on software-based RAID products.
