iStor, Rackmountpro Team

IRVINE, Calif. -- iStor Networks, Inc., a leading manufacturer of iSCSI storage solutions, today announced it has partnered with Rackmountpro, a Yang-Ming International Corporation™ (YMI), to demonstrate the GigaStor iS326 at NAB 2007, the world’s largest electronic media show. iStor and Rackmountpro have created a product portfolio that leverages cost-efficient iSCSI storage subsystems for high performance applications including streaming video, computer graphics, editing and content creation. Rackmountpro will feature the exhibit in booth #SL14117.

The GigaStor iS326 combines the speed of iStor’s flagship GigaStorATX™ controller with the capacity of a flexible chassis. The iS326 supports up to 15 high capacity Serial ATA drives, providing compelling total cost of ownership for block-based applications such as disk-to-disk backup and nearline storage. Additionally, the iS326 is ideal for SAN extension over IP-based WANs and SAN/NAS consolidation across a single unified fabric. Flexible configurations are offered with 4 or 8 port 1GbE and a 1 port 10GbE model providing the customer with a product family of high performance storage.

“The iS326 provides our video channel partners like Rackmountpro the ability to offer a simple, highly integrated performance orientated solution that requires only 4 simple mouse clicks to configure and connect to the network.” said Peter Cmaylo, vice president of worldwide sales and business development at iStor Networks. “This greatly reduces an organization’s configuration time and frees up valuable IT resources while minimizing management and administration costs.”

“NAB is such an important platform for innovative technologies that significantly impact the way video and broadcast customers manage and protect critical data,” said Stephen Shou, general manager, Rackmountpro. “We are thrilled to partner with iStor Networks and combine our respective products and technologies to offer video professionals a simple yet cutting-edge solution for their data storage needs.”
