"VARs are seeing incredible demand for storage among businesses, organizations, government agencies and educational institutions nationwide," said Pete Peterson, senior vice president and general manager of the AIS division, in a statement. "The most efficient way to store, manage and protect all that information is by utilizing innovative, high-end SAN solutions like the Fujitsu Eternus storage systems.
