Is PCI-Attached Storage a Viable Alternative?: Page 2 of 3

Describe your technology.

Our storage is PCI-direct attached and is JMR patented. It's like having your storage next to the CPU in terms of performance with the system. It's all serial PCI -- fast and wide and at a cost that runs around $1,000 per TB. It is all backward compatible on the PCI bus. Our enclosures use SAS or SATA disk drives, and we supply a PCI extender for all hosts. Our systems can emulate NAS or iSCSI, using appropriate software.

What keeps you up at night?

Not a lot, because we are doing very well. Most major potential competitors are not in the market with us, and we are protected by our patents. Customers include NASA, Texas Tech, Bloomberg, and those in the media industry. We supply to industries such as video surveillance, the PACS market, and the gaming industry.
