ProStor Releases RDX Archive for SMEs

By Greg McNevin

October 11, 2007: Removable disk storage specialist ProStor Systems has announced what it says is the world’s first removable disk archive system for small and medium enterprises.

Built on its RDXR removable disk technology, the company claims the InfiniVault archive appliance provides SMEs with a fast, secure and reliable archival storage platform for long-term data preservation, e-discovery and regulatory compliance in a single, integrated system.

As the InfiniVault uses removable disk cartridges, it is able to merge the performance benefits of disk with unlimited expandability and off-site archival storage of tape. As for longevity and compliance, the company claims its cartridges are good for up to 30 years and include its embedded Archive Compliance Engine (ACE) and its write-once data immutability, archive management, automated file retention policies, security, removable media management and automatic data protection.

The company says the systems longevity also goes beyond the physical life of the cartridges, as the RDX removable disk technology features both forward and backward compatibility forever. ProStor claims that the InfiniVault also uses fewer power and cooling resources than its peers, adding that ROI can be expected in less than one year.

“The InfiniVault archive appliance is a benchmark product for ProStor Systems,” said Steve Georgis, President and CEO of ProStor. “No other archiving and compliance solution can match the set of user benefits delivered by InfiniVault.”
