1.MicroNet Announces Seamless Disk Array Transport for DataDock Family; Offers Cross-Platform Capability Between Macintosh and Windows NT Workstations
LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 19, 1999--MicroNet Technology, Inc., a leading innovator in storage technology, announced that it has added cross-platform file access to its DataDock(R) family of removable module storage products. This capability provides a fast and easy way to access and share Macintosh projects on disk arrays with Windows NT. DataDock modules can easily be moved between DataDock units, allowing users to commonly view files, regardless of platform. The DataDock system is a primary storage solution that is ideal for digital video, prepress and other business professionals who need to transport large video, data or intricate graphic files between workstations - whether desktop to desktop, or to a remote workstation.
DataDock units allow Windows NT users to access the files created on mirrored or striped (RAID 0/1) disk arrays with ExpressRAID for DataDock - MicroNet's drive management utility for the Macintosh. Because DataDock units operate transparently, files created by multi-platform application programs, or similar file types, can be copied, opened, saved and renamed on the drives at any time.
Creative professionals will benefit from this time-saving enhancement by using a module to move files rather than sending them over the network. With DataDock products, these professionals will experience complete compatibility and increased productivity while preserving file integrity. DataDock modules automatically appear as icons on the desktop for Macintosh users. For Windows NT, Windows 98 and Windows 95 users, the Program Manager automatically displays the directory of modules.
The DataDock solution with cross-platform capability will be available in May. The DataDock system is available at an SRP starting at $735. In related news, MicroNet's GenesisONE system will be on display at Ampex Data Systems' booth, No. L10634. Ampex Data Systems Corporation, another wholly-owned subsidiary of Ampex Corporation, is one of the world's leading providers of technologies for the acquisition, storage and processing of visual information.
