STORServer Backup Appliances Deliver Valuable Rack Space; STORServer's New K Series Backup Appliances Come with Qualstar's High Density Rack Mount Libraries.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers COMDEX The former, premier computer trade show in the U.S. Although it grew into an end user event, it was originally created for dealers and distributors (it was the COMputer Dealers EXposition). Las Vegas 2003 COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 17, 2003 COMDEX Booth #6248 STORServer - the market leader in enterprise Backup Appliances -- has released three new K Series Backup Appliance models: the K1400, K2400, and K3400. The new appliances contain Qualstar's RLS-Series rack-mount libraries, which free up precious storage space in the data center. STORServer chose Qualstar's RLS Restless legs syndrome (RLS) A disorder in which the patient experiences crawling, aching, or other disagreeable sensations in the calves that can be relieved by movement. RLS is a frequent cause of difficulty falling asleep at night. library family because many data centers have serious space issues. Data center managers struggle with tight rack space and mushrooming storage, and cannot sacrifice performance or capacity for smaller footprints. In response, the RLS-Series shrinks rack-mounted library size to less than half their original height while increasing capacity. For example, previous K series rack-mounted AIT libraries required 14U to house 20 tapes and 25U to house 60 tapes. The new RLS libraries house up to 70 AIT tapes in just 5U without sacrificing performance. "The new STORServer appliance with the Qualstar's rack-mounted libraries significantly shrink the amount of space needed for storage," says STORServer VP of Channel Marketing Ellen Rome. "This frees up valuable real estate in data centers, allowing customers to use their space more cost-effectively. The STORServer K Series Backup Appliances span business segments from entry-level storage to the enterprise. The highly scalable K Series grows from 35 GBytes to 12 TBytes, combines STORServer's Win2K server and cost-effective AIT, SDLT (Super DLT) See DLT. and LTO (Linear Tape Open) A family of open magnetic tape standards developed by HP, IBM and Quantum (formerly the Certance subsidiary of Seagate) that are licensed to third-party vendors. LTO cartridges contain a memory that stores historical usage data. libraries, and supports over 35 client platforms (including Linux, Unix, Windows and Open VMS (1) (Virtual Memory System) A multiuser, multitasking, virtual memory operating system for the VAX series from Digital. VMS applications run on any VAX from the MicroVAX to the largest unit. See OpenVMS. .) The appliance includes all hardware and software with options for installation, training, and support, making it a one-stop solution for backup, archive and disaster recovery. STORServer is shipping three AIT-equipped models of RLS-Series now, with new versions for SDLT and LTO users to be introduced by the end of 2003.
