Business Wire
Xyratex Ltd. (NASDAQ:XRTX), a leading provider of storage systems
for OEMs and Solution Integrators, announced today that it has
signed an OEM agreement with Nimbus Data Systems. Under the
agreement, Xyratex supplies Nimbus Data Systems with the HS-1235
Application Platform and the RS-1603-E3 SAS extended bunch of disks
(EBOD) storage subsystems. Nimbus integrates their HALO(TM) storage
software and advanced SAS and IP coprocessor hardware into these
solutions to create the Breeze MX4 and 10G multi-service storage
systems that offer users both iSCSI SAN and NAS capabilities in one
solution. "After considerable due diligence, we selected Xyratex
based on their business, technology and support capabilities," said
Thomas Isakovich, President and CEO of Nimbus Data Systems. "From a
business perspective, we required an OEM partner that offered a
range of proven storage solutions with superior design, quality,
and price metrics. We needed a vendor that would be able to supply
both a customizable platform and SAS EBOD along with world-class
logistics and local support capabilities. Xyratex delivered on all
accounts." The goals behind the Nimbus Unified IP Storage vision is
to simplify storage operations and save money for midsize
businesses by enabling greater storage consolidation with fewer
storage hardware/software products to buy and manage. The MX4 and
10G, utilizing a modern SAS-based architecture and multiple RAID
options, offer both primary and nearline storage capabilities using
SAS and SATA hard drives in one system. This combination results in
a very compelling price/performance advantage when compared to
alternative iSCSI storage systems. "Xyratex is very pleased to be
working with Nimbus Data Systems," added Todd Gresham, Executive
Vice President of Storage and Network Systems at Xyratex. "Our
storage systems are engineered to provide our OEMs with building
blocks that offer best-in-class features and functionality. Nimbus
has harnessed the product advantages and added significant value by
integrating their HALO software and high-performance hardware. The
Nimbus MX4 and 10G solutions offer a clear value proposition to
midsize companies looking to consolidate SAN, NAS, primary, and
nearline storage on one affordable storage infrastructure." About
