Nexsan Disk-Based Storage Solutions Appeal To Thompson Hine LLP

Nexsan ATABeast, ATAboy2 safeguard leading law firm's legal briefs

WOODLAND HILLS, Calif., September 21, 2004 - Nexsan Technologies, the leader in innovative storage solutions, today announced the adoption of its ATAbeastT and ATAboy2T disk solutions by the law firm of Thompson Hine LLP to manage data across its life cycle and as part of the firm's centralized storage infrastructure to ensure business continuity.

Looking for a centralized means of ensuring that its business-critical data was continuously available, Thompson Hine sought a solution that would efficiently replicate data from its primary and remote offices to an off-site data center, while lowering overall storage costs and utilizing its existing SAN infrastructure. Chi Corporation, a leading specialist in storage networking solutions, put together a comprehensive business continuance solution featuring the Nexsan ATAbeast and ATAboy2 RAID storage systems.

Thompson Hine can now effectively replicate data overnight to its secondary data center through a T1 connection. The firm is utilizing its existing production WAN infrastructure for the nightly replication of data from its satellite offices, eliminating any increase in communication costs since a dedicated replication connection is not needed. The solution's ability to mirror between dissimilar storage subsystems enabled Thompson Hine to mirror its main data center to a cost-correct and higher capacity Nexsan ATAbeast, providing seamless failover and redundancy.

"With a network of offices around the world, it was imperative that Thompson Hine find a way to consolidate and replicate important case files, briefs and other information critical to its day-to-day operations, and thereby effectively manage data along its lifecycle," said Brendan Kinkade, Nexsan Vice President of Marketing. "Thompson Hine was able to utilize Nexsan's ATA-based solutions to leverage the technology's lower costs, higher capacity and superior reliability into its current high-end storage environment in order to ensure the best ROI while also maximizing data availability."
