Data Enhances their RDX QuikStation - 8 Bay Removable Disk Library
Now emulating ten configurable storage types
The removable disk library will now emulate 10 configurable
storage types, offering users versatility and expanded compatibility. The
RDX-based appliance, providing transfer rates of up to 720 GB/hr, can look like
a tape library or autoloader, virtual RDX drives, stand-alone tape drives,
generic disk drives, or a combination of tape and disk. The new feature set is
available to existing RDX QuikStation customers and is included in all current
RDX QuikStation solutions.
The RDX QuikStation delivers data protection and off-site
disaster recovery in a multi-cartridge 2U configuration. With its range of
available configurations, compatibility with popular backup applications and
iSCSI interface, the RDX QuikStation integrates into a broad range of
environments.
In addition to more configuration modes, the new firmware upgrade delivers a
friendlier GUI experience, allowing users to update software automatically via
the internet, clone cartridges for off-site copies outside the backup window,
and choose from multiple languages for both the web interface and individual
front panel LCDs. In addition, the upgrade boosts network performance to 200
MB/sec with dual GBE ports for failover and performance. Cartridge spanning
allows users to store up to 8TB with a single backup set.
" We are pleased
with how seamlessly the RDX QuikStation fits into our existing infrastructure,"
said Craig Flynn, president of TreeHouse Interactive. "The
RDX appliance has enabled us to centralize our backup and restore operations,
and we really like the ability and convenience of removing the cartridges for
off-site safekeeping."
