WITH MICROSOFT ACTIVE DIRECTORY ON ALL ICEWEB UNIFIED STORAGE SYSTEMS

WITH MICROSOFT ACTIVE DIRECTORY ON ALL ICEWEB UNIFIED STORAGE SYSTEMS

First and Only Searchable and Dynamic Native Active Directory Integration on Unified Systems Streamlines Share Rights Management and Authentication

STERLING, VA. – (PR NEWSWIRE) – May 22, 2012 – IceWEB, Inc.™ , www.IceWEB.com, a leading provider of Unified Data Storage appliances for cloud and virtual environments, announced today that its IceSTORM Operating System now natively integrates with Microsoft Active Directory, providing IT administrators with the fastest and easiest way to manage and authenticate user access rights for storage shares on IceWEB unified storage systems.

Active Directory is Microsoft’s standard system for assigning user and group access to assets and devices on a company’s network infrastructure. Devices running a Windows Operating System such as a SQL or Exchange server come standard with Microsoft Active Directory integration. Until now, unified storage devices have not been able to natively and dynamically search Active Directory, since unified devices typically ship with the manufacturer’s own non-Windows operating system.

Through innovation in its software product development, IceWEB has created functionality that enables IceSTORM to natively port Microsoft Active Directory rights management policies, users, and groups directly into the IceSTORM Operating System, saving IT administrators time without having to manually assign users and groups with rights to write, access, and/or change objects in a shared directory on IceWEB’s unified storage systems.

“Virtualized environments and cloud deployments add a layer of management complexity to an overburdened IT administrator in organizations, particularly in the mid-market,” said Amita Potnis, Senior Research Analyst within IDC's Storage Systems program. “IceWEB's approach was to simplify user and group access management by integrating Active Directory in its IceSTORM Operating System, thus reducing the burden of an IT organization that is juggling multiple disparate management protocols.”

“Part of IceWEB’s commitment to providing the absolute best unified storage system available, is identifying and removing any workflow speed bumps that cause friction in managing the ever-growing storage that IT admins must face every day,” said Gaurang Mehta, IceWEB’s CTO. “Natively integrating with Microsoft Active Directory has been one of those speedbumps left unaddressed by even the largest vendors of unified storage systems. We’re happy to be the first vendor to simplify and expedite unified storage management yet again with the innovation announced today.”

ICEWEB: NAILING UNIFIED STORAGE’ WITH CLEAR DIFFERENTIATION

Experts acclaim IceWEB’s ‘enterprise-grade storage subsystem’ and ‘highly polished interface that looks more sophisticated than a lot of the other stuff that has been coming to the market.’

STERLING, VA. – (PR NEWSWIRE) – April 19, 2012 – IceWEB, Inc.™, www.IceWEB.com, a leading provider of Unified Data Storage appliances for cloud and virtual environments, announced today industry analyst firm Taneja Group, Inc. has published a report on IceWEB’s differentiation and superiority in unified data storage amidst a crowded market of traditional storage vendors.

Authored by Jeff Boles, Taneja Group Sr. Analyst / Director – Validation Services, the report underscores the industry’s movement toward unified storage systems, and portrays IceWEB as one standout vendor due in part to the company’s enterprise grade storage systems and IceSTORM Operating System.

A full reproduction of the report follows: 

IceWEB: Nailing Unified Storage

IceWEB is a unified storage player that has been in the market for a number of years, with a big footprint in federal government. But the market is awash in new primary storage offerings, many of them focused on unified storage. NetApp obviously held the reigns for a long time, but a few representative recent contenders include Scale Computing, Nexsan’s E5000, Dell's Fluid File System offerings, companies like Nimbus, and more. This newly crowded market means that even established unified storage companies have to have concrete differentiators from their competitors, or they’ll lose out to more attractive new offerings.

IceWEB seems to have some clear differentiators including an enterprise-grade storage subsystem and a user interface that is more user-friendly than many we’ve seen. These two differentiators should help IceWEB to go further than competitors in delivering both infrastructure and operational efficiency.

·         The underlying storage subsystem seems to be built for enterprise-class primary use, and is architected for better workload isolation and more granular performance tiering (including across SSD) than many products in the market.

·         A highly polished interface that looks more sophisticated than a lot of the other stuff that has been coming to the market. At first glance an interface may not seem like a real thrill. But a highly useable interface is conducive to better user adoption and comfort, which in turn makes a unified storage offering even more attractive and marketable.

It seems like IceWEB has something to show off, and I'm personally looking forward to putting their product under the magnifying glass to see if the efficiency factors really surface. Perhaps we'll see them in the Taneja Group Lab in the near future.

“Taneja Group’s publication on IceWEB today places the latest building block in the industry’s growing consensus of IceWEB’s value and differentiation in unified data storage,” said Steven Toole, IceWEB’s CMO. “In the rapidly evolving information technology sector where yesterday’s leaders can quickly fall from grace, it’s independent industry experts such as Taneja Group who keenly spot the next rising stars on the horizon. Enterprise IT decision makers expecting more from storage vendors will look to this analyst expertise to guide their buying decisions.”

Storage Switzerland Fan of IceWEB

This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on Wed, April 18th, 2012

"Surprisingly ready to compete with major name brand providers of unified storage"

IceWEB, Inc. has received further validation of its value among mid-enterprise organizations with an independent storage expert analyst report released by Storage Switzerland, LLC.

Written by storage veteran George Crump, the report recapped IceWEB's current momentum in building and delivering unified data storage systems with enterprise features, performance and scalability that are affordable.

Key points of the report are as follows
"What impressed us most about the universal unified storage solutions from IceWEB was the extensive feature set, especially given their extremely competitive prices (IceWEB claims to be 30% lower than the street price of their name brand competitors). With the release of IceSTORM, the company is proving it's its products are more than just me too storage systems and is certainly worthy of consideration for any sized data center looking to reduce its storage management burden."

"The problem is that the cost of feature-rich unified storage from traditional enterprise storage has been outside the realm of typical SME budgets. As a result most of these IT managers end up either making their needs fit the limitations of a single service solution (SAN only / NAS only) or they buy both a SAN and a NAS, which adds complexity and cost. IceWEB is positioning their Unified Storage solutions to deliver a feature-rich storage system at price points the SME can afford."

"From a data services perspective the IceSTORM is surprisingly ready to compete with the major name brand providers of unified storage. It has the ability to pool and tier storage based on drive type; for example, logs can be placed on SSD, databases on high performance SAS and file shares on SATA. The SSD tier can also be used as a cache, so that active data will automatically be served from solid state. And, the system provides extensive data protection capabilities including eight types of RAID, data replication, data integrity checking and snapshots."

IceWEB's CMO Steven Toole commented on the report: "Storage Switzerland is a long-trusted, unbiased authority in data storage technologies. They're very smart people so it comes as no surprise to me that they see the value IceWEB brings to mid-enterprise organizations looking to simplify their cloud and virtual environments, increase the efficiency of their storage resources across multiple protocols, and obtain enterprise capabilities and performance at a fraction of the cost of traditional storage vendors. As more analysts become aware of IceWEB, we're certain that additional positive reports will follow."
