Nexsan and RELDATA Release Powerful Unified Storage Solution

WOODLAND HILLS, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Nexsan Technologies, the leader in innovative and secure storage solutions, and RELDATA, the pioneer of a new generation of unified storage virtualization appliances, today announced that they have once again joined forces to produce an even more powerful unified IP SAN/NAS storage solution that includes SAN-level data replication over WANs.


"Enterprises are looking for high performance storage consolidation and non-disruptive data migration of their unstructured data volumes, provided, it is a cost effective solution" said Boris Anderer, president and CEO of RELDATA. "The combination of our IP Storage Gateway and Nexsan's SATABeast provides leading edge I/O performance for both IP SAN and NAS solutions at a real value for customers," added Anderer.

The new unified storage solution combines Nexsan's SATABeast(TM) with the RELDATA 9240 IP Storage Gateway, resulting in an enterprise-class solution that delivers high availability, full redundancy, wire-speed throughput and unmatched capacity. With an unrivaled price/performance ratio, the joint offering provides a dramatic cost savings and an all-in-one solution for enterprises.

"My customers have been looking for a cost effective storage system that unifies their IP SAN and NAS environments and delivers high performance. Now I can combine a Nexsan SATABeast with a RELDATA 9240 Storage Gateway and deliver an unbeatable integrated solution that meets their needs," said Rich Kuhar, Sr., President of ARKAY, a qualified reseller of both Nexsan and RELDATA. "By offering a high quality solution at a much better price point than my competition, I'm able to increase the level of service to my customers, while expanding my business," added Kuhar.

The RELDATA IP Storage Gateway 9240 incorporates six 1 GbE ports and two Ultra SCSI ports in addition to the dual 4 Gbps FC ports providing flexible connectivity, preserving existing Fibre Channel, SCSI and iSCSI storage investments.

"Nexsan and RELDATA have once again come together to offer enterprises with a truly unrivaled joint solution that provides a high-performance unified iSCSI SAN and NAS offering that eliminates the need for the time-exhausting and costly creation of piecemeal IP storage solutions," said Brendan Kinkade, Vice President of Marketing at Nexsan. "We have upped the ante in providing companies an innovative total solution to meet their ever-growing storage demands without overtaxing their limited IT resources."

SATABeast's innovative combination of technologies delivers unsurpassed performance, reliability and cost savings for primary and near-line storage, disk-to-disk backup, secondary storage and fixed content archive applications. The SATABeast's unique design extends individual drive life and provides significant savings year over year, while its AutoMAID (Massive Array of Idle Disks) function allows SATABeast to place its disk drives into an idle state to conserve energy, yet provide near-instantaneous access to data.

The new Nexsan/RELDATA product is available through both companies. For more information, contact Nexsan Technologies at 866-463-9726 or RELDATA at 973-644-2770.
