New Gateway NAS Servers Provide Simple Solutions for Data Storage and Backup
Poway Unified School District Sees Value in Gateway Storage Products as Part of Their Disaster Recovery Plan
IRVINE, Calif., March 1 /- Gateway today announced five new Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices featuring Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 and a choice of Intel® Xeon® processors or AMD Opteron(TM) processors.
As organizations consolidate and back up their data and centralize their file and print functions, quick and easy deployment has become a critical and decisive factor for many IT managers and business owners. Preconfigured for simple plug and play installation, Gateway's new rack mount storage servers provide seamless integration into existing storage configurations, allowing customers to get up and running quickly. The new models are the E-9422R; E-9425R, E-9522R, E-9525R and the E-9520T Storage Servers.
NAS servers can act as file servers hosting files or as local print servers. They're ideal for any environment requiring end-users to continually access and share documents that are stored and safeguarded in a central, highly protected environment vs. a personal desktop. This includes hospital personnel accessing medical files or educational institutions, which require students to save their lessons to a central server, so teachers can easily access their schoolwork.
"We are seeing increased demand for networked storage across the board from all of our customer segments," said Barry Silvester, senior product manager, Enterprise Storage Platforms. "These five new storage servers give our customers powerful yet easy-to-use solutions for all their data storage needs. Their affordability makes them particularly attractive, especially when you consider the benefits they offer."
Organizations such as the Poway Unified School District in Poway, Calif., are experiencing the benefits of Gateway storage products. The district recently chose to deploy Gateway storage platforms as part of a disaster recovery solution for its elementary and middle schools, as well as its administrative center. Using this system helps safeguard the school district from partially or completely interrupted crucial functions, such as daily record keeping, retrieving critical student information or accessing software applications necessary for the curriculum. The Gateway solution also provides the IT staff with a means to manage and restore normal operations quickly and seamlessly if a disaster does occur.
"Gateway's understanding of our operational aspects was essential in finding the right technology to meet our disaster recovery needs," said Robert J. Gravina, chief technology officer at Poway Unified School District. "Gateway's disaster recovery solution allows us to maintain business continuity in the event of a disaster, as well as recover quickly from any disruptions to our fundamental business processes and systems."
Packing numerous high-performance features into their compact rack mount and scalable tower designs, the servers offer best-in-class storage technologies, including hot swappable high-capacity SATA or SAS hard drives and redundant hot swappable cooling and power options.
The new storage servers also come equipped with manageability features, including Web-based management for Windows 2003 Storage Server; Gateway Systems Manager; and Gateway Lights Out (GLO) system management. GLO brings a high-level of efficiency to professional customers, allowing a server to be remotely shut down, re-started and managed regardless of its power condition. An optional low-cost remote control K/V/M with media redirect features enables full remote control of a server. This capability allows customers to set up, manage or add applications from their desktop, notebook or another server through a floppy disk drive or CD.
In addition, Gateway Professional Services can help customers plan their storage strategies and identify the best products and technologies for their business needs.
