Unified Data Storage appliances manufacturer IceWEB has upgraded its IceSTORM Operating System to provide improved value to mid-level organisations.

The new features and enhancements of IceSTORM include a one-click configuration of Fibre Channel and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) storage provisioning within the IceSTORM interface.

The new release offers an enhanced security with SSL communication between the IceSTORM Operating System and IceWEB Unified Storage Appliances.

It also provides enhanced speed and performance with IP multipathing capabilities, the company said.

Upgraded IceSTORM offers an increased data integrity, a visual drive-fault notification and disk pool degradation repair directly within the IceSTORM interface.

The company has made more than 50 minor enhancements in the operating system to increase performance, speed and usability.

IceWEB customers will now receive the new version of IceSTORM via IceWEB’s Auto-Update capability without any additional cost.

IceWEB chief marketing officer Steven Toole said, "These enhancements come from surveying our customers to help uncover additional ways for IceWEB to simplify the management of ever-growing data storage in today’s mid-enterprise organizations."
