Sanat Technologies, a start-up developer of data storage product solutions has crafted an aggressive strategy to capture the storage market in India.

With a two pronged strategy to address the India and global markets, the company is in talks with hardware players globally to enable them to strengthen their Storage portfolio with SANAT's firmware called StorOS. This would help those storage vendors to enter into the NAS foray with a Linux based firmware instead of WSS. Ramani, Country Manager - Sales and Mktg. said that this handshake would help these storage players to compete in the NAS market which predominately requires a Linux based firmware.

For the Indian Market, SANAT has its own set of solutions and product suite. Launching the Instor600, MaxStor1600 and Megastor1080, Ramani stated that these solutions are aimed at the SMB and mid Market. He said, “Customers today seek a storage solution based on reliability, scalability, upgradeability and features.”

Already boasting of 40 plus footprints in the country, it recent win in a retail giant in the cell phone industry and will initially target the government and the education verticals with its solutions.

It will launch RAID 6 this month and also Launch India's first 10G IPSAN solutions to cater to high performance block level access by January 2008.

Banking on the 10G wave, Ramani said that these products would enable automatic software back-up from desktops.
