InMage Systems®,Inc. (www.inmage.com) has joined LeftHand Networks' Technology Alliance Program, providing customers with a best-in-class solution for disaster recovery, business continuity and data storage. The companies, both recognized earlier this year as Gartner "Cool Vendors" in data protection and storage, respectively, have certified InMage's DR-Scout software with LeftHand's iSCSI storage area networks (SANs).

LeftHand Networks' iSCSI SAN is an integral component of an effective high availability/disaster recovery plan. The ideal storage repository for DR-Scout, LeftHand SANs are highly scalable and have a wide array of storage management features, including storage clustering, thin provisioning and replication.

"We are very pleased to have InMage Systems, a recognized data protection pioneer, as part of our Technology Alliance Program," said Larry Cormier, vice president of marketing, LeftHand Networks. "Today's organizations need highly available storage and disaster recovery strategies for maximum business productivity.
