Procom Introduces Jetstream(TM) 1000 AIT Array the World's Fastest Tape Backup and Recovery System IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Procom Technology, Inc. today (Nasdaq: PRCM - news), announced Jetstream(TM)1000 AIT Array, the fastest tape backup and recovery system in the industry. Jetstream has a 20MB per second data transfer rate or 72GB per hour backup capability and a capacity of 200GB. The new Jetstream series tape array, is designed to provide a tape storage subsystem that outperforms traditional tape solutions and provides higher availability, higher reliability, higher capacity and higher performance using the new AIT technology. According to Procom's Tape Product Manager, Mike Khoyilar, ''Until now, choices for fast backup have been limited. Jetstream performance exceeds that of other tape arrays by 1000% and end users can now get a superior tape array from a company known for product innovation and reliability.'' Khoyilar added, ''This new AIT array looks and acts like a single AIT drive, but actually utilizes up to five AIT drives that function as a single high-performance, high-capacity tape subsystem. The performance and capacity of 200GB meets the need of mid to large database applications as well as other applications that require a high-performance tape subsystem.'' The Jetstream 1000 AIT Array supports RAID level-3 data striping. Data striping across four drives results in four times the data transfer rate of a single drive. Higher reliability and redundancy is achieved by utilizing a parity drive. Parity functions allow for continuous operation in the event of one tape drive or media failure. The Jetstream 1000 Tape Array is designed to maximize the throughput of a Fast/Wide SCSI-2 host interface at 20MB/second, compared to competitors offering lower capacities and data transfer rates. Procom's Jetstream is also 10 times faster than traditional tape libraries. Procom's President and Chief Executive Officer, Alex Razmjoo said, ''The introduction of Jetstream shows our commitment to the tape market and supplying innovative products. Procom's focus is growing the network storage side of the business and Jetstream as well as other tape products will help in the shift of our product mix toward network storage solutions.'' Features: Up to 20MB/second data transfer rate or 72GB/per hour Up to 200GB of data storage Extra parity drive and increased data availability Rackmount and desktop modules for scalability Dual Redundant power supplies for high reliability Benefits: * High Performance tape backup subsystem for short backup and restore windows * High capacity ideal for mid-range databases * Parity information stored on parity drive is used to recover data that cannot be read * Continuous Read and Write operations in the event of one drive failure Price: Jetstream 1000 starts at $45,000 (MSRP).
