Permabit and Acopia Partner to Develop Streamlined, End-to-End Tiered Storage
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.-(Business Wire)-April 16, 2007 - Permabit, Inc., a leading provider of compliance, archive and tiered storage solutions, today announced that it has joined the Acopia FreedomFabric(TM) Alliance Program. Through this partnership, the companies will work toward a complete, tested solution for managing and storing information using efficient tiered storage that significantly lowers the cost and increases the flexibility of information storage.
"Organizations are faced with an unprecedented volume of information that must be stored and retrieved over increasingly extended periods of time," said Wayne Salpietro, director of marketing for Permabit. "We envision that Permabit's tiered storage solution paired with Acopia's advanced management tools will be able to relieve that pressure, fully automating the ability to maximize storage usage."
"We are delighted to add Permabit to our premier Acopia FreedomFabric Alliance roster of technology providers who share our desire to help customers meet the mounting challenges surrounding the storage and management of unstructured, globally-distributed file-based information," said Kirby Wadsworth, senior vice president of marketing and business development, Acopia. "Permabit's participation in Acopia's Freedom Lab demonstrates to customers that they, together with Acopia, are striving to deliver fully interoperable solutions that are easy to deploy, effective, and deliver the greatest return on investment."
Acopia's ARX intelligent file virtualization devices dynamically match business needs with storage capability. Administrators will be able to use Acopia's products to aggregate storage systems with common user-defined attributes into an arbitrary number of Permabit secured storage tiers. As Acopia devices direct information to the appropriate storage tier and move it between storage tiers, Permabit's tiered storage system has the ability to provide maximum data availability and rock-solid information protection throughout the information's lifespan. The objective is to offer a storage environment that will be capable of delivering unmatched data availability and information protection, while reducing capital expenses and operating costs.
