CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif. -- Xtore, a worldwide leading storage solution provider, today announced it will showcase XJ-SA24-448R-S, an ultra-density intelligent tiered storage enclosure at the Storage Networking World Storage Networking World (commonly called SNW) is a for data storage professionals in the United States. Sponsored by Computerworld and the Storage Networking Industry Association, SNW is held twice each year. (SNW SNW Snow SNW Strange New Worlds (Star Trek) SNW Social Networking Website SNW Sub Networks SNW Storage Networking World ), slated for October 31 - November 3, 2006 at Orlando, Florida. XJ-SA24-448R-S, a 4U 48-bay ultra-density JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks) A group of hard disks in a computer that are not set up as any type of RAID configuration. They are just a bunch of disks. JBOD - Just a Bunch Of Disks enclosure under Xtore XJ2000 JBOD series introduces a whole new era of data storage architecture design and maintenance. The innovative dual-drive brick carrier design doubles the storage capacity a conventional storage enclosure can deliver. Up to forty-eight (48) 3.5-inch form-factor SAS/SATA drives can be mix-matched in this enclosure for cost-effective SATA (Serial ATA) A serial version of the ATA (IDE) interface, which has been the de facto standard hard disk interface for desktop PCs for more than two decades. The original Parallel ATA (PATA) interface was launched in 1986. or mission critical SAS (1) (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, www.sas.com) A software company that specializes in data warehousing and decision support software based on the SAS System. Founded in 1976, SAS is one of the world's largest privately held software companies. See SAS System. storage environments. XJ-SA24-448R-S supports up to 36TB of SAS/SATA data storage at its 24-inch depth with optimized thermal solution. The universal SAS/SATA backplane enables up to 48Gbps transfer rate through four(4) wide host/expansion channels, two(2) per interface module. The cable-less, modular enclosure design with hot-swap components and redundant features increase reliability and ease of maintenance. This new line of XJ2000 JBOD series is designed for demanding network storage applications, including enterprise data center, video and data streaming, disk-to-disk backup, disaster management and ILM/IIM. At SNW, Xtore will team with Adaptec to demonstrate a complete system in live mode, giving IT professionals hands-on experience on what will redefine the standard of storage system architecture and maintenance. "With XJ-SA24-448R-S, IT professionals can deploy a robust yet reliable storage architecture that outperforms standard storage architectures while maintaining Total Cost of Ownership (TCO (1) (Total Cost of Ownership) The cost of using a computer. It includes the cost of the hardware, software and upgrades as well as the cost of the inhouse staff and/or consultants that provide training and technical support. See ROI. )," said Gene Lee, Xtore Corporate Vice President. "XJ-SA24-448R-S also increases the return on investment (ROI (Return On Investment) The monetary benefits derived from having spent money on developing or revising a system. In the IT world, there are more ways to compute ROI than Carter has liver pills (and for those of you who never heard of that expression, it means a lot). ) through its 9TB/U value proposition to the enterprise business organizations." "Adaptec and Xtore have coordinated on product integration and interoperability testing in a variety of configuration models to deliver easy-to-implement enterprise solutions that use Adaptec's Unified Serial(TM) architecture," said John Noellert, vice president, Americas channel sales and marketing at Adaptec. "Unified Serial(TM) controllers from Adaptec enable IT professionals to utilize either low-cost, high-capacity SATA disk drives, high-performance SAS disk drives or a combination of both to build an XJ-SA24-448R-S system that can meet current and future storage needs. We are excited to work with Xtore at SNW and enable them to demonstrate the high-performance capabilities that our combined products offer in this new system."
