Apple today announced it has started shipping Xsan, a high performance, enterprise class Storage Area Network (SAN) file system priced at US$999 per client and per server. Xsan is a 64-bit cluster file system for Mac OS X that enables organizations to consolidate storage resources and provide multiple computers with concurrent file-level read/write access to shared volumes over Fibre Channel.

Apple said today that it will miss the deadline for shipping its Xsan storage management software. Xsan, which will sell for US$999, was scheduled to be released before today. “Xsan will not ship this year; it will ship early next year,” Apple said in a statement. The company did not provide the reason for the delay. Xsan is “designed to further Apple’s position in the clustering market,” according to CNET News.com.
