BOULDER, Colo. -- ProStor Systems, a leading developer of
removable disk storage solutions, today announced that BridgeHead
Software has added application support for ProStor’s InfiniVault™
archive appliance, the world’s first removable disk archive system for
small and medium enterprises, providing customers with a complete data
lifecycle management solution.
BridgeHead’s HT ISM is an Integrated Storage Management software
platform for automated, policy-based data lifecycle management. HT ISM
provides the complete range of functionality to help InfiniVault
customers meet their critical data retention, business continuance,
disaster recovery, data availability and compliancy needs. It includes
HT FileStore, a file archiving system that uses a rules engine to
automatically identify files across the network that should be copied
or moved to archive media for long-term and compliant protection. It
also includes HT Backup, a powerful enterprise data backup system.
ProStor’s InfiniVault provides an unbeatable digital archive and
compliance system that reduces storage costs by combining long-term
data retention, regulatory compliance, automated data archiving and
disaster recovery protection in a single, simple-to-deploy and
easy-to-use appliance. By leveraging RDX® removable disk technology, ProStor has created the world’s first archiving system that
combines the performance and rapid retrieval of conventional hard disk
drives with the unlimited capacity scalability and disaster recovery
protection of removable media but with a system design that is far more
reliable than tape and much lower cost than fixed-disk archive systems.
“There are two aspects to an effective Data Lifecycle Management
strategy. One is automatically and transparently identifying and moving
data to the ideal secondary storage location. The other is ensuring
that location is cost-effective, highly available, and secure over the
lifespan of the data,” said Patrick Dowling, Senior Vice President of
Marketing, BridgeHead Software. “HT FileStore and InfiniVault are
perfectly matched to address these needs. ProStor customers will have
an ideal long-term storage medium in InfiniVault and they will have
BridgeHead’s HT FileStore to intelligently move the right data from
across their network to that environment, through flexible automated
policies.”
“BridgeHead’s HT FileStore and HT Backup supercharge the InfiniVault
by taking full advantage of the tiered storage functionality to
radically simplify the management, protection and migration of
corporate data throughout its life cycle,” said Steve Georgis,
President and CEO at ProStor. “We’re excited by the added value that
BridgeHead brings to InfiniVault customers.”
The InfiniVault product suite is available in three configurations designed to fit in various small and mid-sized enterprises.
• The InfiniVault Model 3 is designed for small businesses and remote
offices. The Model 3 archive appliance is an integrated tower system
with up to 1.6 TB of online and nearline storage and infinite offline
capacity.
• The InfiniVault Model 30 is designed for small and medium enterprises
that need a flexible, cost-effective archive solution. The Model 30
archive appliance is an integrated rack-mount system with up to 11 TB of online and nearline storage and infinite offline capacity.
• The InfiniVault Model 100 is designed for mid-sized enterprises that
need a flexible archive solution that can store large amounts of

infinite offline capacity.
The entire InfiniVault archive appliance product suite is sold through
a network of high-value resellers in North America, and will be

InfiniVault will be unveiled for the first time at the Storage
Networking World Trade Show in Dallas from Oct. 15-18, 2007 in Booth
