ProStor RDX Removable Disk Chosen by HP

For ProLiant servers and xw series workstations

ProStor Systems continues to expand market penetration of its removable disk storage solutions by announcing the availability of RDX technology with entry-level HP ProLiant servers and HP xw series workstations. These removable disk backup solutions are easy to use and affordable, and allow small businesses to store data off-site as part of their disaster recovery plans. HP StorageWorks RDX removable disk cartridges, in 160 GB and 320 GB capacities, are available immediately.

"The adoption of RDX technology proves that users value the speed and reliability of disk, but need high-capacity removable media for data protection and disaster recovery applications," said Steve Georgis, CEO and president of ProStor Systems. "Today’s announcement of the availability of RDX technology with entry-level HP servers and HP workstations provides customers with an integrated data protection solution that offers all the performance attributes of disk and the offsite storage capabilities of removable media."

With a current installed base of more than 85,000 end users worldwide, RDX backup and data retention solutions have captured 90 percent of the removable disk market for business server and workstation backup. A recent IDC report estimates that revenue from removable disk solutions will exceed $500 million by 2012.

"Increasingly, SMBs are looking at low-cost, high-capacity removable storage to meet their ever growing data storage needs," said Robert Amatruda, research director tape and removable storage at IDC. "By adding ProStor’s RDX technology to its removable portfolio, HP is demonstrating its commitment to address customer needs beyond its current set of complementary storage solutions."

RDX technology reduces the typical data backup window from hours to minutes and allows users to back up 100 GB of data in less than an hour. Additionally, RDX disk systems include a dock and cartridge that contains a mobile 2.5-inch hard disk drive in a shock-proof design. Its robust design ensures customers have a secure, durable backup system that can withstand environmental contaminants and sustain a fall of up to one meter.

RDX solutions are compatible with most popular backup software. The removable disk systems are forward and backward compatible, meaning today’s docks will work with tomorrow’s cartridges and vice versa. For example, the highest capacity RDX cartridge currently available is fully read/write compatible with the very first RDX systems shipped two years ago.
