Infortrend Meets Data Protection Demands Of SMBs With Standard Availability Of Data Service Features On Its EonStor DS Storage Systems

Snapshot and Volume Copy/Mirror Functions Help SMBs Protect Mission-Critical Data

San Jose, CA (Marketwire) - Infortrend® (TPE: 2495), the networked storage expert, today announced that data service features, including snapshot and volume copy/mirror, will now be included in the company's EonStor DS storage systems. By making these features standardly available, Infortrend is arming SMBs with the ability to protect their mission-critical data and implement disaster recovery plans without any added costs.

The snapshot feature allows users of EonStor DS systems to perform instant, low-impact backups with space-efficient differential copies without disrupting online applications. Snapshots protect production data from accidental modifications, deletions and corruptions with minimal capacity requirements and performance overhead.

The volume copy/mirror features offer the ability to non-disruptively produce full data copies in a single system. With volume mirror, these copies can be synchronized with source data at pre-set intervals. Synchronized data copies can be used to restart service in minutes in the event of a failure in the source volume, while point-in-time copies can be leveraged for secondary applications, such as testing and decision support.

Thomas Kao, director of product planning at Infortrend, noted that, "Data protection is an extremely important consideration for all types of businesses. However, achieving proper data protection can be a challenge for SMBs in particular, as their IT budgets tend to be limited. With the new standard availability of snapshot and volume copy/mirror functions on Infortrend's EonStor DS systems, data protection becomes more affordable for SMBs -- enabling them to achieve an excellent ROI from a single storage array purchase."

For customers requiring expanded use of the snapshot and volume copy/mirror features, optional advanced licenses are available for purchase with the EonStor DS systems.
