InfiniVault Archive Appliance Takes Bronze in Backup and Disaster Recovery Category

ProStor Systems, a leading developer of removable disk storage solutions for data protection and archive applications, won a top three finish in the “Backup and Disaster Recovery Hardware” category of the 2007 Storage Products of the Year awards for its innovative InfiniVault^TM archive appliance, the world’s first removable disk archive appliance using proven RDX® removable disk technology. The InfiniVault was selected to receive the Bronze Award from more than 200 new storage-related products submitted for consideration across five product categories.

Products were judged by six criteria - innovation, performance, ease of integration into environment, ease of use and manageability, functionality and value - by a team of users, industry experts, analysts, consultants and the editorial staffs of SearchStorage.com and Storage magazine.

“We received a record number of nominations this year, making it more difficult than ever to sort and rate the products,” said editors at SearchStorage.com. “In the end, the judges used a tried-and-true list of qualifications to come up with the three elite products in each category.”

“This award reinforces the importance of data archiving as a part of good business practices,” said Steve Georgis, CEO and president of ProStor Systems. “Achieving regulatory compliance creates a mandate for long-term data retention and retrieval. InfiniVault addresses that mandate by automatically archiving data online and offline for immediate retrieval in the event of an audit, investigation or litigation.”

ProStor’s InfiniVault provides users with a digital archive and compliance solution that reduces storage costs by combining long-term data retention, regulatory compliance, automated data archiving and disaster recovery protection in a single, simple-to-deploy and easy-to-use appliance. By leveraging RDX removable disk technology, ProStor has created the world’s first archive system that combines the performance and rapid retrieval of conventional hard disk drives with the unlimited capacity scalability and disaster recovery protection of removable media, but with a system design that is far more reliable than tape and much lower cost than fixed-disk archive systems.
