Nov 22nd, 2004: Small businesses can now have data protected when multiple drives fail through the release of a new device that supports RAID technology to also eliminate downtime

InoStor has started shipping InteliNAS devices based on Microsoft Windows Storage Server, which can also operate with UNIX, Apple, Linux and Novell.

It is available in 1U and 2U form factors, with storage capacity that starts at 480GB and can go up to 4.8TB and offers front-loading, hot-swappable SATA hard disk drives.

It is delivered with data management capabilities that include iRep replication to facilitate data mirroring, snapshot technology and tape backup.

David Licosati, the InoStor vice-president, said that the InteliNAS storage device is ideal for small businesses with data-intensive applications and need access to rapid data quickly.

"As the industry moves to larger capacity, lower cost SATA hard disk drives, companies are increasingly exposed to frequent hard disk drive failures and the potential loss of huge amounts of data.

"InoStor iceNAS-based InteliNAS products guard against these failures thanks to our patented RAID technology, which protects against multiple hard disk drive failure without the high costs typically associated with this benefit."
