AnexTEK Global to Expand Storage Networking Portfolio with Zetera's Z-SAN(R) SoIP Technology.


Introduction of SANGenie mini Brand Expands Zetera's Presence into Taiwan, Japan, India and South Korea

IRVINE, Calif. & TAIPEI, Taiwan -- AnexTEK Global Inc., a leading Taiwanese storage solutions provider, and Zetera Corporation, a developer of breakthrough network storage technology, today announced a partnership to bring to market a differentiated family of networked storage solutions utilizing Zetera's patented Z-SAN[R] Storage-over-IP (SoIP) technology. AnexTEK will distribute the new family of network storage solutions, targeting small and medium businesses (SMB (1) (Small to Medium-sized Business) Also called "SME" (small to medium-sized enterprise), it refers to companies that are larger than the small office/home office (SOHO), but not huge. ), disk-based backup, IP surveillance and digital video editing See nonlinear video editing and video editor. . The new AnexTEK storage products will be sold under the brand name SANGenie mini and are available for immediate shipment.

"AnexTEK is known for successfully developing and promoting next-generation storage technologies across a broad spectrum of applications, and we're excited about working with them through Asia Pacific," said Chuck Cortright, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

"Our Z-SAN technology is a broadly-accepted network storage platform, enabling AnexTEK's customers to enjoy better performing, more scalable and easier-to-use networked storage at a more affordable price."

Unlike other storage architectures, Z-SAN technology simultaneously optimizes the four fundamental factors that drive the success of a network storage system - scalability, performance, simplicity and cost. Z-SAN technology offers network storage that is simple enough to be configured and managed by non-technical users and cuts costs by eliminating expensive hardware.

"Our customers have repeatedly asked for storage solutions that deliver the performance, scalability and utilization efficiency of traditional SANs, but without the complexity or high cost," said Alex Kuo Since receiving a B.A. from Knox College (studied with Sam Moon & Gogisi) and M.F.A. from the University of Iowa (studied with Donald Justice & Philip Roth) in the early 1960s, more than three hundred-and-fifty of his poems, short stories, photographs and essays have appeared in magazines , president of AnexTEK. "Our partnership with Zetera enables us to expand our SANGenie product line with network storage products to effectively address real customer challenges."

Products based on Z-SAN technology are simple to install, configure and manage. In addition, they offer full virtualization

Zetera's entry into Asia comes on the heels of a strong 2006 marked by several significant milestones in the adoption of Z-SAN, as evidenced by the recent announcement that more than 150,000 SAN devices based on Zetera technology have shipped worldwide since their debut in September 2005; as well as the building of a 1.4 petabyte One quadrillion bytes (one trillion kilobytes). Also PB, Pbyte and P-byte. See peta, binary values and space/time.
