Storage Technology from DataCore Powers New Systemax Storage Server
Appliance FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Jan. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- DataCore
Software today announced that Systemax Inc. (NYSE:SYX) will offer a
range of Storage Servers, which combine technology from DataCore's
SANmelody software with Systemax PCs to create a breakthrough in
storage ease-of-use that will be sold via the giant computer
retailer Tiger Direct and other major subsidiaries of Systemax. The
Systemax branded Storage Server appliances will be capable of
serving disks over LANs to users that need more storage space in a
simple, point-and-click fashion. A $2 billion PC maker and direct
marketer, Systemax serves as a leading distributor and manufacturer
of PC hardware, related computer products and industrial products
in North America and Europe. "This is the first time Systemax has
come out with its own brand of storage servers designed
specifically to address its base of PC users and the retail storage
space in general," said Skip Murray, OEM Server Marketing Manager
at Systemax. "This product is revolutionary in the sense that
Systemax is bringing the ease-of-use we are known for in the PC
market to storage. I am convinced that the Systemax Storage Servers
that we have built, powered by DataCore, will set the standard as
the simplest to use storage appliance on the market." Systemax
sells through Tiger Direct. This fact underscores just how bullish
both Systemax and DataCore are about the prospects for a
mass-market, storage appliance. "Based on user surveys there is
clearly demand for storage servers that can be purchased easily via
direct marketing methods," said George Teixeira, President &
CEO, DataCore Software. "These systems will be sold through Tiger
Direct - the mass-market, catalogue-based channel. Through Tiger
Direct, these appliances will be deservedly billed as a
'breakthrough' in 'speed, ease-of- use, low-cost' for a storage and
SAN server appliance." Systemax, one of the nation's leading
computer system builders has decided to take its existing PC
business, add DataCore Software and deliver low-cost storage
solutions that will be sold as appliances via retail catalogues.
The bottom-line for consumers and the general public is that they
can get great value, simplicity and top price performance for data
storage - just like they do with PC servers from Systemax. For the
data storage market and the IT industry as a whole, the Systemax
Storage Server, powered by DataCore, is an out-of-the-box, turnkey
solution that adds expansion capacity over a local area network
(LAN) simply and easily. Those interested in this new Systemax
