IceWeb.com, a provider of Unified Data Storage as well as building blocks for cloud storage networks recently announced that they have secured an order from a cloud computing Services Company. The order was for an IceWEB Model 5000-HC Unified Storage Data Storage Platform.
With this cutting-edge IceWEB (News
- Alert) storage system, cloud users can make use of IceWEB replication services in order to back up all of their data automatically. This is irrespective of whether the data is new or some of the files already in existence are being modified. IceWEB's prize winning replication service encrypts data allowing for a heightened secure communication within the cloud. Besides this, the Model 5000-HC gives customers resources for disaster recovery that are off-site.
"Any business is at great risk when all their computing assets are located in one place. Having backup storage in the cloud, at a separate location just makes sense. And being online, customers have access to their data no matter where they are. All they need is a secure Internet connection,” Ed Kraus, IceWEB Operations VP said in a statement.
The IceWEB 5000-HC allows high-density storage that can be used for every business application to become available. This is irrespective of whether they are cloud based or in the data center. The 128-bit ZFS file system makes it simple as well as it paves the way for affordable scaling.
In addition, the 5000-HC supports Fibre Channel and 10GbE connections. It is also VMware compatible and comes with features such as infinite number of snapshots, clones, asynchronous as well as synchronous replication. The IceWEB Storage System gives you complete integrity. Aside from numerous inter-connects as well as drive types, it allows you to make a choice of performance as well as reliability. The storage system can even be scaled up to 480 TBs and still provide you with great performance as well as availability.
Every one of IceWEB Unified Storage Platforms can be purchased through the company's exclusive value-added distributor Promark Technology. They market these products across the U.S. and have a massive network of over 1,200 channel partners. IceWEB, Inc. has its functional headquarters located just outside of the city of Washington, D.C.
