Exablox emerged from stealth mode with a new platform (OneBlox) designed for midsized enterprises with content-intensive applications. Its scale-out system leverages commodity hardware, and has some interesting data protection features. It uses an object replication strategy for data protection rather than RAID, so administrators should appreciate the promised fast setup and ease of use, and won’t have to worry about miss configuring volumes and LUNs, which is still common to midrange NAS systems today
