Direct Attached Storage

Direct Attached Storage is an extremely versatile dedicated solution that addresses many storage problems. Its most common uses are server expansion and low-cost clustering. For instance, if your server is running out of space, adding a direct attached storage which can support up to 15 drives could be the perfect solution to your capacity problems.  Application and database throughput is increased with the increased spindle count a direct attached storage provides.
