Verari Systems Inc. has released a high-density storage blade that can be networked to share storage capacity among blade servers in the same chassis. This storage blade will support applications that some blade server customers have been waiting for, such as VMware Inc.’s VMotion.

Verari’s SB5165XL StorageServer blade holds up to 12 TB in a 1U vertical device. The networked appliance connects two blades to a storage controller, for a total of 24 TB. The blades are built to fit into Verari’s BladeRack2 chassis, which holds up to 72 slots. A fully populated chassis of storage blades will hold up to 24 controllers and 48 storage blades, for up to 576 TB in one chassis. The blades can connect to Verari’s server blades through iSCSI, CIFS or NFS protocols.

Very cool, I’ll need to take a look at this, there’s been some interesting developments in the storage blade arena, any evolution in this platform has to be a good thing.
