(PR NEWSWIRE) MTI Awarded U.S. Patent for RAID Technology MTI Awarded U.S. Patent for RAID Technology Company Leads Industry with Patent Awards Relating To RAID and Fault Tolerance ANAHEIM, Calif., Dec. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- MTI Technology Corp. (Nasdaq: MTIC) today announced it has expanded its technology patent portfolio with the addition of a new U.S. patent for RAID redundancy technology that offers greater fault tolerance and data integrity. MTI's position as a leader in patent awards relating to RAID and fault tolerance further supports the company's goal to be the foremost provider of fault-tolerant enterprise storage systems. "MTI's extensive patent portfolio is evidence of the company's commitment to technology innovation," said Kevin J. Liebl, MTI's vice president of marketing. "This new patent reflects RAID storage technology design that has resulted in enterprise storage systems renowned for their high reliability and performance. MTI remains fully committed to continuing this tradition of designing and implementing the greatest advances in RAID technology." U.S. Patent No. 5,956,524 has been awarded to MTI for a technology that creates redundancy data to an array of storage devices and regenerates the data from existing data correction codes. The invention synchronizes the data flow from multiple drives or buffers to create redundancy data when servicing write requests or for regenerating data on a drive or sector in the event of a drive failure. The result is a higher level of data integrity and fault-tolerance for the RAID system. Through the integration and synchronization of internal data buffers, this new technology streamlines the operations of creating redundant data or regenerating data. Overall performance is greatly improved both when servicing normal write operations and for servicing read and write operations in the event of a storage device failure. Since 1990, MTI has received over 40 patents for storage technology developed by the company and its affiliates. The new claim adds to MTI's RAID and fault-tolerant technology patent portfolio.
