RELDATA IP Storage Gateway 9200 certified with ATTO Xtend SAN iSCSI Initiator

Parsippany, NJ – September, 2006 – RELDATA Inc., the innovative provider of modular, universal IP storage systems, today announced that its RELDATA IP Storage Gateway 9200 has successfully completed interoperability testing with the ATTO Xtend SAN iSCSI initiator package for Mac®. ATTO Technology, Inc. is a global leader of storage connectivity and infrastructure solutions for data-intensive computing environments. Organizations with Apple Mac® OS X client/server infrastructures can immediately benefit from certified blazing-fast modular IP SAN solutions with improvements in the cost, operating distance, and manageability of their distributed storage networks.

“The ATTO RELDATA certification provides a new generation of enterprise-class IP storage solutions to Apple Mac OS X users," states Ed Tierney, director of marketing for ATTO Technology. “Teaming up with RELDATA offers our common partners and customers an easy and affordable way to extend Apple Mac OS X platforms with a pre-certified high-performance iSCSI SAN facilitating an enterprise-wide consolidation of their database and operating system storage.”

The ATTO Xtend SAN iSCSI initiator package is designed to extend Apple Mac OS X platforms with a reliable iSCSI connectivity to industry-standard IP SANs, using standard network interface cards (NICs). It provides Apple Mac OSX infrastructures with application storage access via existing Ethernet networks, enabling storage centralization and consolidation at an extremely affordable price. Used in combination with the RELDATA IP Storage Gateway 9200, it enables Apple Mac OS X infrastructures to be leveraged with a modular, universal RELDATA IP Storage solution. RELDATA’s IP Storage virtualization appliance provides truly parallel high-speed iSCSI SAN and NAS access to shared storage resources, combining this with superior remote replication and data-recovery functionality on both block- and file-level. The open storage interoperability allows users to consolidate industry-standard Fibre Channel, SCSI and iSCSI storage resources into one single virtualized storage volume pool. RELDATA’s powerful virtualization technology also makes it simple for system administrators to tailor RELDATA IP storage solutions to their needs – whether it’s high performance transactional database or vital applications like e-mail, web, CRM or ERP solutions.

”ATTO Technology enables us to offer our modular, universal IP Storage solutions to the Apple Mac OS world,” says Boris Anderer, CEO of RELDATA. “This enables system administrators to create both, blazing fast IP SANs and seamlessly scalable enterprise NAS shares on the fly. In addition they can easily build cost-effective local and remote disaster recovery solutions with scalable data recovery point and time objectives.”
