Sphere 3D’s RDX Purpose Built Backup Storage Appliance Wins Coveted PC Pro Recommended Award
January 14 2016 - 9:17AM
Sphere 3D Corp. (NASDAQ:ANY), a “next cloud”
containerization, virtualization and data management solutions
provider, today announced that its RDX® QuikStation™ 4 from its
wholly-owned subsidiary Tandberg Data has won a highly-coveted PC
Pro Recommended Award. RDX® QuikStation™ 4 is a flexible
removable disk array that provides automated data protection,
offsite disaster recovery and archiving for high data growth. The
accolade was achieved following independent and unbiased evaluation
by an expert external reviewer and was based on a combination of
multiple criteria, including performance, price and features.
“We were delighted to learn that RDX QuikStation 4, which
resides in the $1B per quarter Purpose Built Backup Appliance
(PBBA) market as defined by IDC, has achieved PC Pro’s Recommended
Award status,” said Nilesh Patel, VP of product management and
marketing at Sphere 3D. “Offering a data storage solution that
allows for smooth integration into a business’s existing physical
and virtual infrastructure, while providing management tools that
are simple to set up and use, was one of our key criteria when we
designed RDX QuikStation 4.
He continued by saying, “The RDX QuikStation 4 is built on our
patented and field proven RDX removable disk technology which has
been shipped in over 750,000 RDX systems worldwide. This strong
foundation of durable and reliable technology, combined with its
ability to enable fast, secure and easy to use data archiving,
makes the RDX QuikStation 4 a great long-time archiving and
disaster recovery choice for both the Small and Medium-sized
Business (SMB) and the Distributed Enterprise.”
Launched in November 2015, the RDX QuikStation 4 can offer up to
30% shorter backup times and a 50% smaller footprint for the data
center when compared to the previous version. For more
