HOUSTON, Dec. 29, 2008 The Planet, the global leader in IT hosting,

Storage (DAS). For customers who require enhanced database performance and

As businesses ramp up for the New Year, its critical they have adequate
storage in place to keep their Web sites running at peak performance, said Rob
Walters, The Planets general manager for storage and data protection. With
clustering and failover capabilities, DAS provides customers with enhanced
redundancy for their online operations. Our new promotional pricing provides
businesses with an even more cost-effective method for protecting critical
data.

About DAS
Direct Attached Storage is a versatile and scalable solution that addresses
several storage problems. Commonly used for server expansion and low-cost
clustering, its scalable design allows for daisy-chaining, so customers can add
one or two additional DAS units to support up to 45TB of storage. The device
also improves database and application performance by increasing spindle count
and application throughput. Operating at 3Gbps, The Planets DAS features a
Serial-Attached SCSI/SAS architecture that provides higher performance than
traditional SCSI technology. DAS is scalable, so customers can add drives and
devices as their needs expand.
