StorageQuest & Primera Target SMB’s with DVD Backup & Archive Solution to Replace Tape Autoloaders
Ottawa, Canada (ContentDesk) October 27, 2005 -- StorageQuest Inc. today announced it has certified its REFLECTOR Backup and Archival Software with the recently introduced Bravo XR Disc Publisher from Primera Technology, Inc. This is the first DVD backup solution to challenge the low-to-mid range tape autoloaders providing an archival and backup solution for compliancy with an industry standard TRUE WORM media.Until today, tape autoloaders have been utilized in most small and medium business applications for backup of critical data. Tape based solutions have always had reliability concerns and used proprietary formats to record data, making data exchange expensive as all systems must have a tape drive and associated software to read the tape. Today this has all changed.
StorageQuests REFLECTOR backup and archival application, when combined with Primeras new Bravo XR, is setting a new standard in how users will implement and utilize DVD technology as an integrated storage solution to meet backup and archival requirements of their data in an open and very cost effective way.
REFLECTORs Disk-to-Disc architecture is designed to enable businesses to move from tape to DVD disc backup for compliant long-term data protection. REFLECTORs long-term data protection features include file spanning, file splitting and optical disc labeling. File spanning automatically records optical discs for any backup dataset and optimally packs the data requiring the smallest number of discs. File splitting allows files larger than a single piece of optical media to split across multiple discs.
Split files can be restored without using the REFLECTOR software on any operating system. The REFLECTOR software uses the industry standard UDF (Universal Disc Format) so that any data written to a DVD can be read on any Windows, Linux, UNIX or MAC OS X system without any client software.
When you consider that just about every server, desktop and laptop is shipped with a DVD drive, there is no special hardware or software required to retrieve your data. REFLECTOR will also automatically print a full-size, full-color, dynamic label on each DVD disc with the fields and information the user has specified during the setup process, making each disc is easily identifiable. Unique bar-codes can also be printed.
This announcement is more than just a certification process. It marks for the first time that there is a network-enabled backup and archive application supporting an automated, optical, rack-mounted data storage solution, said Fred Bedard, StorageQuests Vice President of Sales & Marketing. There is now a backup solution that provides a very cost effective solution for compliant storage utilizing industry standard DVD, which is TRUE WORM by design. This is a key differentiator between our solution and magnetic disk and tape solutions which emulate WORM technology and are being touted as compliant storage solutions.
When you consider a magnetic WORM tape can be erased by any standard magnetic eraser tool you have to ask how it can also be compliant.
Another key differentiator is our breakthrough in price: for less than $4,000.00, you can have a network-enabled backup and archival solution that not only writes your data to standard DVDs, but also prints a full-color label for easy identification of each discs contents. Try doing this with a tape solution. With its unique, space-saving design and rugged construction, Bravo XR is our most versatile CD/DVD publishing unit ever, said Mark D. Strobel, Primera Technologys Vice President of Sales and Marketing. When integrated with StorageQuests REFLECTOR Software, users in mission critical applications will find it to be a highly-reliable solution at a far more affordable price than traditional tape based solutions. Pricing and AvailabilityThe StorageQuest REFLECTOR Backup & Archive Software is priced at US$795 MSRP for a complete network-enabled solution for the Primera Bravo XR Disc Publisher.
The Bravo XR Disc Publisher is priced at US$2995 MSRP.
The Rack Mount Kit is US$99.95.
