Cybernetics is Going Head to Head with EqualLogic
 Cybernetics iSCSI SAN storage solutions outperform our competitors in a direct comparison. Our iSCSi SAN storage models include the Ethernet ports needed to sustain very high transfer rates - in fact, we have more connectivity ports than any competing iSCSI SAN storage. Each iSCSI SAN storage solution is upgradeable to 10GbE - at the time of purchase, or any time in the future. While our interface is amazingly intuitive, we integrate powerful layers of data protection into our SAN, consolidating primary storage and backup. Every miSAN and iSAN model includes SAS ports for direct-attached tape devices, so you can perform full image backup to tape of the data volumes on the SAN – with no backup window, no additional software, and no impact on your network. You can also use our eSATA and USB ports for portable disk backup. A portable disk backup is actually a mountable volume - no other SAN storage includes this powerful feature. Best of all, Cybernetics prices are simply unbeatable. Go ahead - we want you to comparison shop. We know you will learn that we have the better SAN storage at a better price.
