Axxana Named 'Cool Vendor In Storage Technology And Systems'
Axxana recently announced that it has been named to the list of "Cool Vendors in Storage Technology, 2009" by Gartner, Inc. The company is one of five storage vendors named to the analyst firm's list.
Axxana's technology is the first-ever to enable 100% disaster recovery (DR) with no data loss over any geographical distance, all with a significant cost savings. Axxana offers a new approach to data protection by securing the data through the disaster, ensuring the full survivability of all the data in the enterprise.
Among the Gartner report's key findings: "Cost-effective and foolproof DR solutions are critical should a catastrophic event impact the primary data center."
"It is a tremendous honor to have our company recognized by Gartner," said Eli Efrat, Axxana's CEO. "In my opinion, inclusion in this report is further proof that the Axxana Phoenix system has the potential to completely alter the way enterprises think of disaster recovery and their Data Center strategies going forward."
Axxana's Phoenix System enables organizations to significantly save on Capex and Opex by utilizing existing asynchronous replication solutions and sending data to a remote location, while at the same time, locally protecting a synchronous copy of the most recent write operations in a disaster proof, new generation, storage device. Axxana's solution combines airplane flight data recorder (Black Box) expertise with newly developed technologies to create a hardened "Enterprise Data Recorder" (EDR) storage system capable of withstanding extreme conditions to preserve business data in the event of a disaster.
