InMage Systems and iStor Networks Announce Strategic Partnership at VMworld 2007
- Combination of iStor's iS325 Storage System and InMage's DR-Scout Continuous Data Protection Software Creates Compelling Storage Offering for Resellers and OEMs -
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 10 / / -- VMworld 2007 -- InMage Systems, Inc.(R), the leading provider of business continuity and disaster recovery software for medium and large enterprises, today announced they have entered into a strategic partnership with iStor Networks, Inc.(R), a leader in high performance iSCSI networked storage solutions, to provide a complete storage offering to channel resellers and OEMs. Under the terms of the agreement, iStor will bundle a lite version of InMage's DR-Scout disaster recovery (DR) and continuous data protection (CDP) software solution with all shipments of its iS325 storage systems.
The combined solution will debut at VMworld 2007, the world's largest virtualization industry event, in the InMage booth, #226.
"This is our opportunity to fill the need for a total, virtualized solution that combines the enterprise-class data replication and continuous backup capabilities of DR-Scout with the performance and reliability of iStor's iS325. VMworld is the ideal venue to debut our joint solution and show businesses how they can leverage virtualization to reap maximum cost and operational efficiencies from their IT infrastructures." said John Ferraro, president and CEO of InMage Systems.
"This partnership provides a compelling storage solution to all organizations that are implementing IP SANs," said Kevin Daly, CEO of iStor Networks. "We believe that our iS325, delivers the most cost-effective and scalable high-performance storage networking for virtualized IT environments. InMage's DR-Scout solves end user challenges in implementing block-level disaster recovery and continuous data protection and compliments the capabilities of the iS325 extremely effectively. We look forward to providing this powerful new solution through our reseller channels."
The iS325 midrange storage array is a powerful foundation for an IP storage area network (SAN) solution, leveraging the speed of iStor's flagship GigaStorATX controller for block-based applications such as disk-to-disk backup and near line storage. Key features include flexible configuration with 4 or 8 port GbE and/or 1 port of 10GbE performance, support for up to 15 high capacity serial ATA drives, and the ability to create multiple simultaneous RAID volumes.
The DR-Scout suite is the only CDP-based storage software solution that provides scalable, cost-effective protection for both file and block-level data. DR-Scout is built for both medium and large enterprises, scaling to cover all the production servers, applications, platforms and storage systems. DR-Scout CX is unique as the only product on the market to deliver consistent, fine-grained event recovery at any location, at any time, within any storage environment. This ability to go back to a business event allows unprecedented compliance with regulatory requirements. By using a light-weight volume replication agent on the application server and then sending the data to an out-of-band network-based appliance that does all the heavy lifting such as compression, encryption and management, DR-Scout avoids traditional performance problems while providing superior data recovery capabilities.
VMworld takes place September 11-13, 2007 at the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco. The InMage Systems exhibit will be located at booth #226.
