Data General's Clariion division has announced a Fibre Channel-based storage product aimed at SMEs.

Clariion said that while the FC5300 is aimed at sophisticated SME applications, it is scaleable and suited to distributed environments, such as storage area networks (SANs). It has 4-30 slots, each holding 36GB of storage.

Joanne Masingill, VP Clariion marketing at DG, told Silicon.com: "Clariion Fibre disk arrays are the Volvos of the storage world - they just keep on going - and this product is consistent with the Clariion family."

It is priced from £6,200.
