Atrato has revealed that InQuinox has integrated Atrato’s Velocity1000 (V1000) Series into its enterprise class PureDisk appliances. InQuinox’s SD3 appliance is a purpose-built product for Symantec NetBackup users who want to increase ease of use for the PureDisk deduplication software.

InQuinox’s offering provides a platform for organisations looking to implement PureDisk deduplication software in their data center or remote offices. The company said that the modular system scales from 32 terabytes of storage to as much as 1 petabyte within 25 rack units, thereby minimising customers’ data storage footprint and saving on energy and maintenance costs.

InQuinox claims that its Storage on Demand remote upgrade capability makes it easy to scale SD3 to meet expanding deduplication needs quickly by licensing more capacity. SD3 appliances are self-healing, and are warranted to keep running a minimum of three years uninterrupted with zero disk maintenance, added the company.

Steve Visconti, president and CEO of Atrato, said: InQuinox’s expertise and commitment in this area makes them the go to source for optimised deduplication solutions. As performance issues continue to challenge backup applications, the high throughput and Storage on Demand architecture of our joint solution will bring unmet advantages to the enterprise.

Brad Hargett, CEO of InQuinox, said: Atrato’s high performance array was the clear choice for our PureDisk appliance solutions. Its high bandwidth capabilities, energy efficient design, and self-healing features allow us to deliver a solution that surpasses all others in performance, management, and cost. In early benchmark tests, we outperformed the competition 2:1 and reclaimed two full racks of storage space.
