Coraid Inc. introduces the SR1215T EtherDrive storage appliance that provides 11.25TB of shared storage on a network. It is based on the ATA over Ethernet protocol so that it does not rely on network layers above Ethernet, such as IP or TCP, and is not routable over LANs.

AoE is a block-level storage protocol that is native in the Linux 2.6 kernel. Software drivers for the tower are available for Mac OS X, Windows, Solaris and FreeBSD. The tower fits on most desktops and supports 15 standard 3-1/2-inch SATA I or SATA II hot swappable disks. It has an access speed of 200MBs and users can buy disk drives of their choice.
