ProStor Systems Expands ISV Support for InfiniVault Archive Appliance with the Addition of QStar Network Migrator Software


BOULDER, Colo.- Dec. 18, 2007 - ProStor Systems, a leading developer of removable disk storage solutions, today announced that its InfiniVault(TM) archive appliance has completed interoperability testing with QStar Technologies' Network Migrator archive management software, providing worldwide customers with a best-in-class complete archive and compliance storage system.

QStar is a leading provider of sophisticated, large-scale client/server Storage Management Software with solutions for UNIX, Linux and Windows NT. With more than 20 years of experience in mass storage technology, the company's Network Migrator software provides superior data archive functionality while automatically moving data between fast access disk cache technology and Prostor's InfiniVault. The combined solution empowers users with secure, cost-effective and reliable archival storage of their mission-critical data.

"As a leader in storage management software, we work closely with hardware vendors to ensure that customers can fully protect their data regardless of the storage technology they choose to use for backup and archiving," said Jim Wheeler, director of marketing and business development for QStar.

"By supporting Prostor's InfiniVault archive appliance, we help to provide users with an intelligent storage solution that satisfies their required archival and compliance needs while ensuring the optimal protection of application data."

"We consider it to be of utmost importance to team with leading ISVs, such as QStar Technologies, to ensure that users' data is safely moved to archive on InfiniVault without the need to worry about whether it will be fully accessible in a timely manner when required," said Bob Williamsen, vice president of marketing for ProStor Systems.

ProStor's InfiniVault archive appliance reduces storage costs by combining long-term data retention, regulatory compliance, automated data archiving and disaster recovery protection in a single, simple-to-deploy and easy-to-use appliance. By leveraging RDX® removable disk technology, ProStor has created the world's first archive system that combines the performance and rapid retrieval of conventional hard disk drives with the unlimited capacity scalability and disaster recovery protection of removable media, but with a system design that is far more reliable than tape and much lower cost than fixed-disk archive systems. With its removable disk cartridges, InfiniVault provides safe off-site archival storage for up to 30 years
