Monday, October 13, 2008
Highly Reliable, Power-Efficient Cougar 3000 Series Offers Enterprise Features at a Workgroup Price, Expands ONStor's Cougar Portfolio of File Storage Solutions
CAMPBELL, Calif., Oct. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- ONStor, Inc., a leading provider
of clustered NAS solutions for primary and value-tier storage for enterprises
and content-rich organizations, today announced its new Cougar 3000 Series NAS
gateways aimed at small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). The Cougar 3310
and Cougar 3510 are the first in this new series of Cougar products offered by
the company. The Cougar 3000 Series will start at entry level price points
and deliver data center class performance in an energy efficient, compact 1u
form factor. The products are ideal for file server consolidation, persistent
data archives, digital image repositories or support for applications such as
video streaming, genomics, M-CAD or SaaS.
"ONStor has recognized the needs of the midmarket with their latest round
of new products. SMBs and workgroups continue to seek reliable, appropriately-
priced file storage solutions that allows them to leverage existing storage
investments, start small and scale big without having to rip and replace
devices, and enjoy significant power and space efficiency," said Benjamin S.
Woo, Vice President, Enterprise Storage Systems, IDC. "In today's economy, all
of those savings really add up."
Cougar 3000 Series customers can leverage many of the enterprise class
features of ONStor's Cougar 6000, including the EverScale redundant modular
architecture, heterogeneous storage virtualization, and advanced multi-core
storage network processors, but at workgroup price points. All of ONStor's
Cougar models can be mixed and matched in a single cluster with the
flexibility to scale performance and capacity independently as needed. The
ability of the ONStor Cougar 3000 Series gateways to support heterogeneous
storage means that they can be used with an organization's existing SAN
storage for plug and play convenience and added investment protection.
"Midmarket companies have even smaller IT budgets and less resources than
large enterprises to house space- and power-hungry storage devices," said Tom
Gallivan, senior vice president, worldwide sales at ONStor. "With the Cougar
3000 Series, we're enabling SMEs to control system and management costs by
consolidating their file server footprint, simplifying the management of
unstructured data and providing a platform for growth in two dimensions --
performance or capacity. In addition, the Cougar platform delivers
measureable OPEX reductions in space, power, and cooling in the client's IT
environment."
