Seagate’s acquisition of Dot Hill last week is intriguing in several ways, but for the channel, it’s pretty much a non-issue. Seagate’s focus is on Dot Hill’s OEM business, and their branded channel business, which had already been outsourced to Quantum, is unlikely to be affected at all.
Dot Hill is emphasizing enhancement to their autonomic tiering in this release, which they say gives them a boost over competitors, and allows them to offer the best price-performance balance for the mid-market.
Dot Hill’s new entry-level AssuredSAN product boasts higher performance and improved connectivity over its previous-generation predecessor.
