ATLANTA, GEORGIA – American Megatrends Inc. (AMI) is proud to announce a new partnership agreement with Promark Technology, a leading nationwide Value Added Distributor (VAD) of hardware and software products for the data storage and electronic document imaging markets. Under this agreement, Promark Technology will provide the complete lineup of StorTrends® IP-SAN and NAS appliances from AMI, all of which come preinstalled with StorTrends® iTX Data Storage software.

StorTrends iTX provides dependable, affordable storage software for networked storage applications, featuring dual dialect capability for both IP-SAN (Storage Area Networks) and NAS (Network Attached Storage).

StorTrends iTX software provides true enterprise-level features, at a pricing level that is within the reach of small and medium sized businesses (SMBs). Components such as Information Lifecycle Management (ILM), Continuous Data Protection (CDP), WAN-optimization Data Services (WDS) and both Synchronous and Asynchronous Data Replication make it a competitive offering that will allow Promark Technology to support VARs and resellers in a wide variety of vertical markets.

"This new partnership between AMI and Promark Technology presents a great opportunity for AMI to increase exposure for StorTrends iTX software and AMI’s family of StorTrends storage appliances.
