Conley Announces Year 2000 Time Saving Technology; New functionality provides ability to speed up the compliance process.NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--September 11, 1997--CONLEY Corporation, a premier provider of enterprise-wide high availability Also called "RAS" (reliability, availability, serviceability) or "fault resilient," it refers to a multiprocessing system that can quickly recover from a failure. There may be a minute or two of downtime while one system switches over to another, but processing will continue. RAID solutions today announced new time-saving technology that can dramatically cut Year 2000 (Y2K See Y2K problem and Y2K compliant. Y2K - Year 2000 ) compliance test cycle. CONLEY's technology virtually eliminates the time that is traditionally lost between the end of one test run and the start of the next. Staff and systems become more productive by eliminating the forced break in the work effort while the test data is copied back to its initial state.

Traditional RAID level 1 configurations mirror data from one disk to another but CONLEY RAID subsystems extend this ability to triple even quadruple quad·ru·ple adj. 1.

Copies can be split off "on demand", providing near real-time access to pre-initialized data with no wait time to copy. Restoring the data to its initial state for each test run takes seconds instead of minutes or hours. Once the next test run has been started, the drive(s) used for the prior run can be returned to the mirrored set for background resynchronization without interfering with the production operations. These drives can be soon ready to be split off again for the next test run. This unique functionality of the CONLEY RAID subsystems can save hours per day of valuable Y2K test time allowing staff to remain productive instead of looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment.

Getting an additional two to three hours of productive test time out of each eight hour day accelerates the Y2K test cycle by 33% to 60%. Ric Calvillo, CONLEY's president comments as to why CONLEY developed this technology. "With less than 600 business days left before the turn of the century, we need to press the urgency of getting Year 2000 compliance testing completed as quickly and efficiently as possible without disrupting production transactions."
