This recognition is a strong validation of the company’s superior unified storage solutions and strong channel ecosystem that is delivering advanced products in one the fastest growing segments of the IT market.

According to market research firm IDC, converged IP SAN-based storage is growing 30 percent annually and will become a $3 billion market by 2011. With unprecedented growth in server deployment and the adoption of cloud computing architectures to power Internet-based applications, today’s IT organizations are facing the mounting need to store and secure critical data long-term for compliance requirements, while assuring data remains easy to access and manage.

Unlike proprietary silo-based block and file-based products, the RELDATA unified storage solution has been built from the ground up leveraging the RELDATA Unified Storage Engine (USE™) platform. RELDATA USE is a software-centric and open hardware architecture that allows companies to improve the mobility and sharing of data between resources and users in a fluid and cost-effective manner and rapidly enhance disaster recovery and data availability service levels, while significantly reducing storage administration and replication licensing costs.
