Adding 750GB disk drives to the RAID Inc. product set brings down the overall cost per megabyte. Traditional back-up implementations have become more difficult to successfully manage due to explosive application data growth and compliance regulations - this increased capacity allows customers to continue to reach a more efficient information infrastructure.
