IceWEB and DataSpan Replace EMC Storage for Engineering Services Enterprise for High Availability and Cloud Replication of VMWare 5.0 Cluster Primary Storage Environment
STERLING, VA--(Marketwire - Mar 27, 2012) - IceWEB, Inc.™ (
The IceWEB unified data storage system chosen to replace the company's legacy systems, which include a mix of EMC Clarion, NX20 for the enterprise satisfied the following requirements:
- Tiered storage platform comprised of SSD & 600GB 15k drives for high IO performance combined with 3TB drives for capacity and redundancy for data protection
- Unlimited snapshots for local disaster recovery with zero-capacity reservation, zero overhead meeting SLA of near-zero recovery point objective (RPO) and recovery time objective (RTO)
- Bidirectional, asynchronous and geographically disparate replication for business continuity and disaster recovery
- Support and integration with VMWare ESXi 5.0 cluster
- High Performance cluster aware storage for mission critical Microsoft SQL Server databases running on Windows 2008 cluster
- High IO storage for Enterprise Microsoft Exchange Mail Environment
"Our client required the absolute highest levels of availability with its mission critical applications," said Bryan Kelsch, Systems Engineer for DataSpan. "The client's need for a hybrid disk pool with continuous snapshots, replication across multiple locations and support for VMWare ESXi 5.0 cluster were equally critical. The IceWEB 3000 was the perfect fit for their needs. We've specialized in storage for a long time, and we're excited about IceWEB's offerings in filling a nice void among our customers."
"While winning new customers over the competition is a strong indicator of technical superiority, unseating a long established competitor in a customer's data center makes the ultimate statement about IceWEB's position in the marketplace," said Steven Toole, Chief Marketing Officer at IceWEB. "Integration with VMWare vSphere 5.0 cluster combined with IceWEB's enterprise-class availability, data protection and tier 1 application performance gave the customer the best value over the competition in this case as it undoubtedly will for countless other similar organizations."
