The F5402E combines Fibre Channel connectivity with Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and Serial ATA (SATA) drive technology for cost effective, high performance storage solutions.

Today’s data-rich business environment presents a unique challenge for the storage manager. Prioritizing the demands of applications, performance requirements, capacity, management tools and cost can be an impossible task, and often results in an inefficient and expensive solution that is out of date before being fully implemented.

The F5402E storage solution solves these complex and ever-changing storage challenges. Combining Fibre Channel (FC) connectivity with Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and Serial ATA (SATA) drive technology, the F5402E provides maximum flexibility to our customer, resulting in a cost-effective, ultra-high performance solution with the scalability and functionality necessary to meet the demands of today’s most rigorous applications.
