RELDATA ANNOUNCES ISCSI SAN STORAGE SOLUTION

Parsippany, N.J. – October 27, 2008 — RELDATA, the leading provider of consolidated storage solutions that deliver Unified iSCSI SAN, NAS and WAN replication from a single virtualized storage platform, today announced a high performance 9240 with simplified management capabilities and unrivaled price-performance.

“At RELDATA we’re focused on providing high-performance, cost effective, unified iSCSI SAN storage solutions that deliver unrivaled price/performance and ease of use,” stated David Hubbard, CEO, RELDATA. “RELDATA is the only vendor to simplify the management of dynamic and growing storage environments with its Adaptive Storage Wizards, RELbot task automation and an integrated management console. These management tools significantly improve IT productivity, reduce human error, improve application availability and lower storage TCO.”

The 9240 has up to 12TB of integrated storage in a single compact 2U appliance, expandable to 120TB per RAID controller. The 9240’s RELvos™ Virtualization Operating System includes an updated management console for integrated storage and Adaptive Storage Wizards™ for simplified configuration of both integrated storage and external legacy disk arrays. The 10GbE 9240 system provides higher performance and scalability, greatly increasing the number of servers and virtual machines supported. A RELDATA 10GbE iSCSI SAN with SAS disks is a more powerful, less costly alternative to a 4GB/8GB Fibre Channel SAN.

“RELDATA’s latest offering, while extremely cost and performance competitive with HP’s LeftHand Networks products and Dell’s EqualLogic gear, really differentiates itself from other players in the market by continuing the company’s “pay only for the functionality you need or use” design “ says Jon Toigo, CEO of Toigo Partners International in Tampa Bay, FL. “By contrast, stovepipe arrays that join supposed “one size fits most” value-add software to the hip of proprietary controllers are costing consumers tens of millions of dollars in unused, and therefore wasted, software licenses annually. RELDATA’s approach is worthy of very close consideration as an alternative to other iSCSI solutions, but beyond that, the company offers a different approach to software-based value add that enterprises should be demanding from any vendor they use.”

MSRP pricing is under $40,000 for a fully featured iSCSI SAN with 12 TB SAS disk and under $85,000 for a 48TB SAS system. RELDATA’s performance for a single 9240 iSCSI SAN is greater than 70,000 IOPS and 800 MB/Second. Systems can be clustered for high availability and increased performance. Optional licenses are available for integrated NAS, non-disruptive data migration, and connectivity to legacy disks.
