Oxford Teams With StorMagic

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. -- StorMagic, a fast-growing developer of storage management software, today announced that the Faculty of Mediaeval and Modern Languages and the Linguistics Faculty at Oxford University has started deploying its storage management software in order to increase data protection across these units. The StorMagic software is being deployed to manage a 12-bay Fibrenetix RAID solution populated with six 500GB Hitachi SATA hard disk drives (3TB of raw data formatted to 2TB of data in a RAID 6 configuration).

Oxford University counts more than 130 nationalities among its student population of over 18,000, and together, the two faculties employ a staff of nearly 250 and count more than 100 post-graduate students.

We knew that finding an affordable solution that could work seamlessly in a Netware environment and that would effectively transition us to a networked storage model while giving us reliability, support, and ease of use was going to be a challenge. Like most educational establishments, for us, money is not a bottomless pit,” said Jon Edwards, an IT Officer in the Faculty of Mediaeval and Modern Languages and the Linguistics Faculty at Oxford University, who will be using StorMagic for these two faculties with more than 350 staff and students.
