Rackmount Storage Amherst, NY - July 10, 2007 - ATTO Technology, Inc. today announced that internal benchmark testing has demonstrated its ExpressSAS RAID controllers to be the industry's highest performance overall Serial Attached SCSI products. ATTO's ExpressSAS controllers demonstrated more than 10x faster performance than competitive products in a series of bandwidth-stressing benchmark tests, such as running multiple backup streams, enterprise databases and document management applications. The ExpressSAS products are built around Intel's new IOP348 with a dual core storage processor that allows individual processor cores to be dedicated and optimized for SAS protocol processing and RAID algorithms. ...ATTO profile, RAID controllers Aliso Viejo, Calif - July 10, 2007 - SiliconSystems, Inc. today announced the availability of its new patent-pending SiliconDrive USB CF product family. Available in capacities ranging from 1 to 8GB it combines the performance and compatibility of the USB interface with the proven, rugged and industry-standard CF form factor. The SiliconDrive USB CF offers enhanced protection from power anomalies to prevent data and drive corruption and a robust storage management architecture to ensure long product life. It's aimed at space-constrained embedded applications, such as SBCs, edge routers, wearable computers and medical devices which demand high reliability storage. "Embedded designers are often forced to come up with their own custom designs to meet their space, reliability and connector requirements" said Jeff Janukowicz, research manager at IDC. "With this new product, SiliconSystems is now providing OEMs with freedom from form factor limitations to allow for a much more rugged and reliable solution." ...SiliconSystems profile, Flash based Solid State Disks Washington - July 10, 2007 - Cisco, EMC and Microsoft today announced a new technology alliance targeting government users based around Secure Information Sharing Architecture. Historically, information protection technologies have been enforced system-by-system, creating islands of protected data. Some government agencies are having trouble providing role-based access to sensitive content within their own organizations, and the problems become much more difficult when sharing sensitive content across different agencies. By utilizing SISA, government agencies can more easily set up security-enhanced, virtual networks for different authorized users and communities to access sensitive files stored in different information protection systems. SISA will enable new scenarios for cross-government information sharing. ...Cisco profile, ...EMC profile, ...Microsoft profile, SAN, Storage Security, SAN switches Watertown, Mass - July 9, 2007 - Sanbolic, Inc. today announced a new component of Melio cluster file system which delivers faster performance in clustered NAS systems for write intensive applications. Using Melio FS, multiple Windows Storage Server file serving appliances can be clustered into a common file system on external SAN storage. All Storage Servers have concurrent read and write access to the shared storage using Sanbolic's clustered file system, so a file call can be processed by any of the Storage Servers. Melio FS now fully implements the network redirector oplock protocol which defines the interaction between the file system and the network sharing service. This architecture yields enormous increase in performance as network communication is no longer required for each operation. For example, an application writing 200 bytes blocks would not wait for a network round-trip time for each write, but the data would be grouped and sent asynchronously to the Storage Server running Melio FS, without blocking the application. "Sanbolic has worked with Microsoft to integrate new network oplock technology into clustered file serving systems utilizing the Microsoft Windows Storage Server platform and Melio cluster file system" said Bala Kasiviswanathan, director of storage solutions marketing at Microsoft. "This enhancement provides greater scalability of the performance of Windows Storage Server based file serving solutions for demanding write-intensive applications." ...Sanbolic profile Oceanport, N.J. - July 9, 2007 - CommVault today announced the largest software release in its history - CommVault Simpana 7.0. The Simpana 7.0 suite provides major enhancements to data protection, archiving and replication solutions, additional platform coverage, and also delivers a rich set of new product features, including: Enterprise-wide Search and Discovery, Single Instance Store, High Performance Content Indexing, Data Classification, Expanded Security and Encryption Capabilities, and Post-processing. Pricing starts at approximately $12,000 for an entry level single server configuration. Dave West, VP, Marketing at CommVault said "The real story (about pricing) is not how much it costs you to acquire the software, but rather how much you can save by not needing to deploy multiple point level products requiring separate hardware infrastructures to support them. Add on top of that the administrative costs associated with multiple products and consumables associated with those multiple products." ...CommVault profile Editor's comments:- I asked for more info about the enterprise search. Dave West said "The CommVault content indexing engine, which allows for full text search, now uses an embedded OEM version of the FAST inStream indexing engine. It's worth noting that this is an extension to CommVault's existing distributed indexing system which maintains a logical catalog of all the objects under management. The web search application for end-users and discovery users is based on our own code. This provides the web interface, security model, user result sets / export capabilities."
