Unified Data Storage provider for cloud and virtual environments, IceWEB has signed a strategic alliance with data storage networking and computing offerings provider nDataStor.

With IceWEB arrays, nDataStor fulfills the demand for enterprise-class unified data storage offerings for cloud and virtual environments among mid-sized organisations.

IceWEB’s Model 6000-HR provides its enterprise class capabilities with a highly-redundant dual-controller configuration that scales to 224TBs with affordable disk shelves and the flexible unified data storage array supports SSD’s, ENT SAS and MDL SAS drives.

With VMware integration, IceWEB’s unified data storage systems support both file and block data, enabling cloud computing providers to reduce the amount of hardware and physical storage they need to support a growing and diverse customer base, reducing costs and ultimately preserving margins.

IceWEB’s unified data storage systems optimise storage utilisation through thin provisioning, linked clones, inline compression and inline block deduplication, saving up to 90% of storage costs.

All IceWEB Unified Storage Platforms are available through the Company’s value-added distributor Promark Technology.

IceWEB CEO John R. Signorello said IceWEB’s unified data storage arrays simplify the cloud and virtualisation complexities in the environments by enabling the environments to standardise on a single, unified platform for both block and file data, while simultaneously leveraging thin provisioning to get the most out of deployed storage capacity throughout the data centre.

"These capabilities and performance requirements have been unserved by traditional storage vendors at a price point suitable for mid-market organizations. IceWEB’s unified data storage systems satisfy that need, as demonstrated by today’s announcement," said Signorello.
