Kashya, Brocade Unveil New Data Replication/Disaster Recovery Application
SAN JOSE, Calif. October 27, 2003 Kashya, a leader in high-performance, cost-effective business continuity solutions, announced today it will demonstrate an enhanced, more flexible data protection platform for replication and recovery across remote locations in heterogeneous environments.
By combining Kashya¹s intelligent data protection solution with the Brocade SilkWorm® Fabric Application Platform AP7420 (SilkWorm Fabric AP7420), Kashya has created a universal solution for end-to-end data replication. Customers no longer have to worry about array incompatibility and cost of array based replication or host agents in traditional replication systems. The Kashya code running on the SilkWorm Fabric AP7420, together with the Kashya Data Protection appliance deliver flexible, heterogeneous and reliable business continuity to any distance for all mission-critical information, independent of storage and server platforms.
"By partnering with Brocade, we will be among the first to enable customers to elevate their storage infrastructure by adding intelligent network based data protection with a performance, reliability and cost efficiency that is unique in the industry," said Michael Lewin, CEO of Kashya. "The SilkWorm Fabric AP7420 enhances the ability of Kashya¹s intelligent data protection solution to provide for a world-class completely heterogeneous data replication and disaster recovery platform."
"The SilkWorm Fabric AP7420 is an ideal platform for applications such as Kashya¹s data replication and recovery application," said Dave Stevens, Brocade Vice President of Strategic Alliances. "New advanced fabric-based applications being developed for this platform will offer end-users significant improvements in data integrity, cost efficiency, and performance for data protection of their enterprise storage environments."
Kaysha will be demonstrating its network-based data replication solution running on the SilkWorm Fabric AP7420 for the first time at Storage Networking World in Booth No. 24 at the JW Marriott Grande Lakes Resort in Orlando, Florida, October 27-30.
