InternetNews | at | by Mike
Microsoft Wednesday plans to unveil its widely-anticipated Windows Storage Server 2003 at the Storage Decisions 2003 conference in Chicago. Sources familiar with the Redmond, Wash. software maker's plans said HP, Dell, EMC, Fujitsu, IBM and others are supporting the launch of the company's new network-attached (NAS) storage product, which is a dedicated file server operating system geared to lower the cost of networked storage for customers.
NAS is hard disk storage that is set up with its own network address rather than being attached to the department computer that is serving applications to a network's workstation users.
