The Planet, the global leader in IT hosting, today announced the final three days of promotional pricing on Direct Attached Storage (DAS). For customers who require enhanced database performance and increased file storage capacity, DAS offers an ideal solution.
Through Dec. 31, The Planet has lowered the list price of its DAS products by $150. Regularly priced from $450 to $800, DAS is now available for as little as $300 per month. DAS is available in three configurations, each based on Dell’s MD series, which can be used as primary storage or for backup and archiving.
“As businesses ramp up for the New Year, it’s critical they have adequate storage in place to keep their Web sites running at peak performance,” said Rob Walters, The Planet’s general manager for storage and data protection. “With clustering and failover capabilities, DAS provides customers with enhanced redundancy for their online operations. Our new promotional pricing provides businesses with an even more cost-effective method for protecting critical data.”

About DAS
Direct Attached Storage is a versatile and scalable solution that addresses several storage problems. Commonly used for server expansion and low-cost clustering, its scalable design allows for daisy-chaining, so customers can add one or two additional DAS units to support up to 45TB of storage. The device also improves database and application performance by increasing spindle count and application throughput. Operating at 3Gbps, The Planet’s DAS features a Serial-Attached SCSI/SAS architecture that provides higher performance than traditional SCSI technology. DAS is scalable, so customers can add drives and devices as their needs expand.
