PR Newswire (US)
Xyratex Announces Availability and Volume Shipments of the F5402E
4Gb FC-SAS/SATA RAID System and SATA II Drive Support in the 4Gb
RS-1602-F4 SBOD SAN DIEGO, April 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Xyratex Ltd. (NASDAQ:XRTX), a leader in high performance,
innovative storage systems for the OEM and Solution Integrator
market, will demonstrate its complete range of 4Gb Fibre Channel
(FC) based storage solutions at Storage Networking World Spring
2006 in San Diego, California, April 3rd to the 6th. "Xyratex is
the first to make available to OEMs and Solutions Integrators a
complete range of 4Gb FC storage building blocks for the primary,
secondary and near-line application markets," said Todd Gresham,
Executive Vice President, Storage and Network Systems, Xyratex.
"Our comprehensive line of 4Gb storage solutions touts a number of
industry firsts, including the FC-SAS/SATA F5402E RAID system, and
the RS-1602-F4-SBOD (Switched Bunch of Disks). The F5402E is the
industry's first OEM product to offer a single, integrated 4Gb RAID
system with FC connectivity and SAS/SATA drives that is shipping in
volume. The F5402E enables OEMs and Solution Integrators to create
both primary and secondary data environments in one solution;
providing maximum flexibility in a cost-effective, ultra-high
performance solution with the scalability and functionality
necessary for today's most rigorous applications. Completing the
package is Xyratex's embedded StorView(TM) software which
configures and administers the F5402E storage system. The F5402E is
ideal for any enterprise looking to centralize or streamline their
data storage. The newly enhanced RS-1602-F4-SBD leads the industry
with the introduction of SATA II drive support in a 4Gb FC product.
This allows customers to standardize on a single enclosure and
scale performance or capacity based on their application needs. A
FC-SATA bridge module built into the drive carrier affords FC to
SATA II translation at the drive level, allowing native 4Gb FC
drives and SATA II drives to co-exist on the same fabric, even in
the same enclosure. "Xyratex continues to add to their impressive
line-up and extensive history of flexible and resilient storage
solutions leveraging current and emerging technologies," said Greg
Schulz, Founder and Sr. Analyst of Storage IO. "Xyratex has been
and continues to be at the head of the class delivering industry
leading technology. Their new line up of 4Gb FC enabled solutions
is a testament to their ongoing commitment to offer their customers
differentiated storage solutions that provide investment protection
and a strong competitive market advantage." In addition, Xyratex
will also be showing the now available 4835 FC-SATA near-line
storage enclosure. This 48 drive enterprise class enclosure
provides up to 24TB of storage in 4U and is targeted at bulk
storage applications normally served by rack based magnetic tape
technology. The 4835 combines FC connectivity and hard disk drive
performance within a high availability system architecture,
delivering massive density in a scaleable footprint. Further
product demonstrations include a variety of new storage solutions
from partners who leverage Xyratex's ATX based Application
Platforms to create customized appliances specific to market
requirements. Partner demonstrations include solutions from:
Wasabi, iStor, Open-e, FalconStor and Datacore. "Xyratex is one of
the very few trusted OEM providers to what has become a very fickle
industry," said Steve Duplessie, Founder and Sr. Analyst of The
Enterprise Strategy Group. "I think a large part of the reason is
that Xyratex has shown it can offer flexibility in its
configuration options, so an OEM can create unique value add more
easily." Industry leading 4Gb technology and an extensive array of
product and partner demonstrations underlines Xyratex's on going
commitment to technology leadership, innovation and the delivery of
best in class solutions to OEM's and Solution Integrators.
