With starting costs under $10,000, the focus of entry-level solutions is on ease of set-up and management. Advanced functionality is normally limited at the entry-level; however, these solutions have seen growth in capacity and number of servers supported. There is growing overlap between the high end of the entry-level and the low end of the mid-range.

The following are those vendors that offer entry-level storage solutions:
  • DataCore Software
  • Dell (AX4-5I, PowerVault MD)
  • EMC (AX4, CX4-120)
  • FalconStor
  • HP (AiO, MSA)
  • NetApp (FAS2020)
  • Sun Microsystems (Workgroup Disk, Unified Disk)
This note also discusses the small to mid-sized enterprise sweet spot for these kinds of solutions: small enterprises and branch offices (under 100 employees) with modest storage needs. The leader recognized in this category is Dell.
