IceWEB 6500 High-Availability Cluster Storage Platform - Unified

IceWEB 6500 High-Availability Cluster Storage Platformage Platform.


iceweb_6500

With dual, multiprocessor controllers, redundant nodes,
shared storage and no single-point of failure,
the Model 6500 Cluster:

  • Protects against hardware and network failures; eliminates unplanned downtime for storage hardware and software upgrades; and minimizes change management time by automatically mirroring configuration changes. Data accuracy is ensured through checksum technology, RAID and replication policies.
  • Delivers performance: as each of its four, multi-core 2.93 Gigahertz processors has 12MB of cache and 96GB of memory expandable to 192GB. The Model 6500 Cluster also comes with four 200GB SSDs and its L2ARC and ZIL hybrid array technologies accelerate IOPS.
The Model 6500 Cluster utilizes storage volume sharing and its dual, multiprocessor storage controllers monitor each other for failures-with heartbeats, network monitoring and fencing. Neither controller is specifically designated to be the primary or secondary controller. Both can be actively managing shared storage, although any given volume is owned by one controller at any time.

The combination of dual multiprocessor controllers, clustering, CRC and the use of hybrid-storage pool SSD caching makes the Model 6500 Cluster for performance, I/O intensive applications and for high-availability mission-critical applications.
"We're seeing an exploding market for faster, larger, fail-safe unified storage platforms from customers with critical business data and challenging workloads," said Tim McNamee , IceWEB VP of Sales. "The Model 6500 Cluster is designed to handle these demanding workloads, with zero unplanned downtime and nearly unlimited scalability."

With prices starting at under $45,000, the Model 6500 is available.

miSAN® V Series and iSAN® V Series
High Performance Disk Based Virtual Tape Library Solutions for Backup and Disaster Recovery


A Cybernetics Virtual Tape Library disk based network backup solution is ideal for IT professionals confronted with the task of implementing and managing centralized, shared backup and archival capabilities.

Through the use of onboard Ethernet connections and the iSCSI protocol, it is now possible to install a virtual tape library disk based backup device at one location to serve as the backup target for multiple heterogeneous hosts spread across a building or at multiple sites. 

Independent Cybernetics virtual tape library disk based network backup solutions installed at remote locations can even serve as off-site backup for each other. Cybernetics virtual tape library network backup solutions offer the flexibility to define multiple virtual tape backup drives and libraries within one central backup solution, making them visible to hosts across the network for direct access to dedicated, independent virtual tape library backup systems. For example, it is possible to define multiple virtual tape library solutions, each with its’ own virtual tape drive, and simultaneously backup to these virtual devices from multiple independent hosts.

With the capability of Cybernetics' iClient to make practically any host iSCSI compliant, it is possible to share the virtual library disk based backup among many heterogeneous hosts. The need to maintain multiple physical tape backup drives of varying formats is completely eradicate.

Compression Module to Address the Explosive Growth Demands of Unstructured Data


Compression Module to Address the Explosive Growth Demands of Unstructured Data for

Cloud Computing, Social Media and Mobile Apps
IceWEB, Inc.™ (OTCBB: IWEB), a leading provider of Unified Data Storage and building blocks for cloud storage networks, announced today that all IceWEB Storage platforms now include IceWEB Level 10 (L10) compression for enterprise data. IceWEB customers can now choose between 10 levels of compression based on performance and capacity needs. This feature coupled with our De-duplication, thin provisioning and linked clone technology makes IceWEB a leader in storage efficiency technology.


More than 15 petabytes of new data is being created every day (Computerworld, 1/29/2011) and most of this new data is not the structured database records of yesteryear. Instead it’s unstructured web pages, digitized images, graphics, maps, CAD, and multi-media voice and video. In fact, IDC reports that 80 percent of new enterprise data today is unstructured. “With the explosive growth of computer storage being experienced by most companies, IT organizations are looking for ways to provide the storage capacity their applications need without having to endlessly purchase more and more hardware,” said John R. Signorello, IceWEB CEO. “The IceWEB Storage System offers an innovative collection of ‘storage efficiency’  technologies that together dramatically reduce your physical storage requirements while still giving your servers, applications and users the capacity and performance they need. Our customers asked us to compress unstructured data. L10 meets those demands.”

Mimosa E-Mail Archiver and Autonomy and EOL

Mimosa NearPoint Customers

With its recent acquisition by Hewlett Packard, the Mimosa NearPoint solution is now on its third parent company in the past 2 years. Since 2010, via a number of acquisitions, Mimosa Systems has been owned by Iron Mountain, Autonomy, and most recently HP- a company with an existing archiving solution. As a result, NearPoint customers have raised questions about whether their ongoing needs can still be met, and if there are viable alternative archiving solutions.
 
We invite NearPoint customers to consider alternatives. Today we joined an E-Mail Archiving webcast from HP/Mimosa (now to be renamed ACA by HP) and Mimosa will be EOLed (End of Life) in about 1 year.

We strongly urge you to call NavigateStorage an ex-Educomm, ex-Zantaze partner, ex-Mimosa partner.  Over the last 9 years we have partnered with all of them successfully but ACA from HP/Autonomy is a whole new ball of wax.

Flooding in Thailand Impact on Disk Drives

Due to flooding in Thailand, predicts IDC
Widespread flooding is bringing unprecedented devastation to the people and economy of Thailand. With operations disrupted at more than a dozen HDD factories, damage to the HDD industry is significant.

And this will have a direct impact on worldwide PC shipments through the first half of 2012, according to a new International Data Corporation report.

In the first half of 2011, Thailand accounted for 40-45% of worldwide HDD production. As of early November, nearly half of this capacity was directly impacted by the flooding. In addition to assembly and component facilities being inundated with water, the industry faces work stoppages due to poor access and power outages. The full extent of the damage to HDD industry factories will not be known until the floodwaters recede, although it's already clear that there will be HDD supply shortages into the first quarter of 2012.

The severity of HDD shortages in the coming months largely depends on the industry's ability to recover lost production capacity in Thailand. While IDC believes HDD industry participants will recover and restore HDD production capacity relatively quickly, HDD supply will remain constrained for an extended period of time.

As a result, PC vendors should plan
for and expect the following:
  • Significant HDD shortages by mid-November 2011 that will continue into 1Q 2012.
  • A large part of PC production for Q4 2011 shipment has already taken place or can be completed with existing HDD inventories, limiting the impact on Q4 PC shipments to less than 10%. But in a worst-case scenario, total PC shipments could be depressed by more than 20% in Q1 2012 vs. previous forecasts as a result of the HDD shortage.
  • Higher HDD prices as demand exceeds supply and manufacturers face increased costs for components, expedited shipments, and shifting of production to new locations.
  • The HDD industry begins to recover in 1Q 2012, and HDD pricing stabilizes by June, with the industry running close to normal in the second half of 2012.
  • Opportunities for larger PC vendors to capture enterprise accounts from smaller competitors and accelerate industry consolidation, particularly in faster growth markets.

provider of Unified Data Storage and building blocks for cloud storage networks, announced today that all IceWEB Storage platforms now include IceWEB Level 10 (L10) compression for enterprise data. IceWEB customers can now choose between 10
levels of compression based on performance and capacity needs.

This feature coupled with our De-duplication, thin provisioning and linked clone technology makes IceWEB a leader in storage efficiency technology. More than 15 petabytes of new data is being created every day (Computerworld, 1/29/2011) and most of this new data is not the structured database records of yesteryear. Instead it’s unstructured web pages, digitized images, graphics, maps, CAD, and multi-media voice and video.

In fact, IDC reports that 80 percent of new enterprise data today is unstructured. “With the explosive growth of computer storage being experienced by most companies, IT organizations are looking for ways to provide the storage capacity their applications need without having to endlessly purchase more and more hardware,” said John R. Signorello, IceWEB CEO. “The IceWEB Storage System offers an innovative collection of ‘storage efficiency’ technologies that together dramatically reduce your physical storage requirements while still giving your servers, applications and users the capacity and performance they need. Our customers asked us to compress unstructured data. L10 meets those demands.”
