Brings together four distinct technologies to create industry¹s first fully integrated data management solution

Louisville, Colorado, October 12th, 2004 Breece Hill announced the latest edition to its iStoRA D2D2T family of data management appliances,

Using Sony¹s SAIT technology, the iStoRA 4000 D2D2T solution has the ability to archive up to 15 terabytes (TB) of data. By leveraging the latest functionality of SATA disk, and SAIT tape with the powerful and intuitive Integrity data management engine, the iStoRA 4000 provides end users with enterprise functionality at an affordable price point.

"Sony¹s SAIT technology represents unparalleled levels of capacity and performance that surpass previous industry achievements. When combined with the policy driven iStoRA architecture, three things happen: a reduction in the total cost per gigabyte of both disk and tape, a minimization of IT workload, and a dramatic increase in system performance. The result is a reduction in the total cost of ownership together with unprecedented functionality compressed in a 4U form factor that leads to a tremendous value proposition to both the end user and channel, " said Phil Pascarelli, President of Breece Hill.
