ARAM Certifies Ultera Mirage Data Recorder For Use with ARAM Aries Systems.LAGUNA HILLS La·gu·na Hills A city of southern California southeast of Santa Ana. Population: 33,600. , Calif. -- Ultera Systems Inc., a leading provider of high-performance virtual tape libraries A hard disk array that emulates a tape library. A virtual tape library (VTL) enables the storage medium to be switched from tapes to disks while continuing to use the existing tape backup software. See virtual tape system and storage virtualization. , has achieved full certification from ARAM Systems Ltd., under which the Calgary based company will support the Ultera Mirage(TM) Data Recorder A data recorder is a piece of equipment which records data, and may also be called a data logger. Examples of data recorders are:

The highly reliable MDR is designed for real-time data Real-time data denotes information that is delivered immediately after collection. There is no delay in the timeliness of the information provided. Some uses of this term confuse it with the term dynamic data. acquisition in mission critical operations where repeating the test becomes cost or time prohibitive. It eliminates problems associated with traditional tape drives by replacing tape drives and cartridges with two high performance disk drives in removable canisters. Rob Philips, engineering manager for ARAM Systems Ltd., commented, "The Mirage Data Recorder has been fully supported as a peripheral device See peripheral. peripheral device - peripheral to the ARAM Aries system. All in-house laboratory testing performed on the MDR has passed without complication; we can state that the MDR meets ARAM's Laboratory standards for quality, function, and reliability." "This certification with ARAM Aries equipment is another major step forward in our efforts to promote MDR for the seismic data acquisition industry," said Mo Nour, president of Ultera Systems. "ARAM is one of the fastest growing companies manufacturing seismic acquisition equipment in the oilfield services industry and we anticipate providing products to the ARAM customer base immediately." The MDR features built-in redundancy to ensure recording continues if either drive fails. Once data is recorded, automatic write protection prevents accidental data erasure ERASURE, contracts, evidence.

For extra protection, the identical tape volumes stored on transportable hard drives allow field crew to take one drive to the base camp for processing and/or archiving to conventional tape cartridges while retaining the other drive as backup. The capability to create a tape copy quickly and easily directly from disk instead of going through a server is a real benefit. The MDR's high capacity disks permit companies to store more data on a single volume. A single MDR disk is equivalent to up to 70 tape cartridges. Each drive can be configured to accept 10 to 70 IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company.

The Mirage Data Recorder is an addition to Ultera's family of Mirage Virtual Tape technologies and is available in a three-bay tower or 2U rack mount configuration. Each includes an MDR controller, one tape drive archive port and two disk modules with 146GB/300GB/750GB removable disks.
