"SAN storage and virtualised servers used to be enterprise technologies, much too expensive for most schools. That has all changed. IBM’s mid-range System x servers and System Storage disk systems are now within our reach, which means we can benefit from the lower operational costs and superior reliability provided by these technologies."
