Nexsan ATAboy2 Takes The Gold As Best Storage Product By Storage Magazine WOODLAND HILLS, Calif., January 7, 2003 - Nexsan Technologies, the leader in innovative storage solutions, was awarded the top (gold) designation as Product of the Year for 2002 in the Disk & Disk Subsystems category of January's Storage Magazine, beating out Network Appliance, 3PAR and EMC, among others. The products considered for awards from Storage Magazine and SearchStorage.com were rated on the following criteria: innovation, performance, ease of integration into environment, ease of use and manageability, functionality and value. Nexsan's winning InfiniSAN ATAboy2 was among 39 products reviewed by a panel of judges composed of independent industry experts, storage managers and editors. "To say that we are pleased to receive this coveted award from Storage Magazine would be the first gigantic understatement of 2003," said Diamond Lauffin, Nexsan Executive Vice President. "Our InfiniSAN product line was designed to provide IT managers with an unparalleled storage solution at a price point that would fit their budget and ensure both their corporate data protection and their job security. To win this award from storage experts verifies that we have met those critical goals." In announcing Nexsan's win, Storage Magazine praised the ATAboy2's low price point and high performance, saying "Our judges chose a product characterized by monstrous capacity for such a low price: Nexsan's InfiniSAN ATAboy2." The Judges were impressed by the less than a half a cent per megabyte cost and its up to 25,000 IOPS and sustained data transfer rates of 180MB/sec. Judges also appreciated the ATAboy for the ease with which it integrates into end-user environments. "Unlike some ATA-based arrays targeted at backup of fixed content, you don't need to write to any special APIs, nor are you limited to using it as a target for a backup application." The InfiniSAN ATAboy series provides enterprise-class features and functionality in an advanced ATA disk-based solution than can scale from a correct-cost, entry-level solution to over 2.8 TB in a single 3u configuration for the most storage intensive mid-range and enterprise applications. Nexsan designed enterprise-class reliability into the ATAboy2, utilizing redundancy, advanced ATA disk drives and the latest in RAID technology. The Nexsan designed GUI interface, NexSCANT, provides the latest in centralized management and monitoring features for all Nexsan subsystems. Tele-GuardT, Nexsan's phone home manager, offers operator selectable parameters to monitor all system conditions. Tele-GuardT provides the vehicle to notify single or multiple system operators of not only component warnings, but also preemptive alerts. InfiniSAN ATAboy2 ATA disk-based systems provide the maximum uptime operation and data protected environment available today. About Storage Magazine About Nexsan Technologies ### |
