“The winners of this year’s SearchDataCenter.com awards represent a shift in the industry towards efficiency without sacrificing performance and we are proud to be recognized for our innovative approach,” said David B.

Since its introduction, Verari Systems has shipped over 25 petabytes of SB5255 DataServer storage. The hybrid system consists of one SB1205 server blade and up to two SB1056 disk blades.
