ProStor Systems Unveils New InfiniVault Archive Appliance And Wraps Up Week of New Product and Partner Announcements

October 15, 2007; 09:05 AM

BOULDER, Colo. -- ProStor Systems, a leading developer of removable disk storage solutions, today unveiled its new InfiniVault™ archive appliance for the first time at  Storage Networking World at the Gaylord Texan Resort in Dallas. The company also announced a strategic relationship with Microsoft and a software partnership with Quest, a leader in e-mail archiving.

Over the past week, ProStor Systems made several key announcements including the introduction of the world’s first removable disk archive system for small and medium enterprises; third-party test results that demonstrate that RDX® removable disk technology has an archive life of at least 30 years; the company’s new ProAlliance™ Partner Program for qualified resellers; full software compatibility support from leading ISVs; and a new strategic relationship with Microsoft.

The new InfiniVault archive appliance integrates ProStor’s Archive and Compliance Engine (ACE) with three tiers of storage (online, nearline and offline) providing small and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) with an archiving solution that delivers a fast, secure and reliable archival storage platform for long-term data preservation, regulatory compliance, and e-discovery in a single system.  By leveraging RDX removable disk technology, ProStor has created an easy-to-deploy archiving solution that combines the performance and rapid retrieval of fixed-disk archive solutions with the unlimited capacity, scalability and disaster recovery protection of removable disk media, in an all-in-one design that is far more reliable than tape and much lower cost than fixed-disk archive systems. 

“Our research shows that SMEs have the same archive and compliance requirements as large enterprises, but don’t have the budgets to afford enterprise solutions or the resources to manage complex solutions,” said Steve Georgis, CEO and president of ProStor Systems.  “The InfiniVault archive appliance provides those enterprises with the same level of data preservation and compliance without the complexity and high price tag.”

The entire InfiniVault archive appliance product suite is sold through a network of high-value resellers in North American, and will be generally available in the first quarter of 2008.  The InfiniVault is being shown in Booth # C-7 at SNW from Oct. 15-18.
