OEM Partnership Between Dot Hill and Wisdata

Dot Hill Systems Corp. has signed an agreement with WISDATA Systems Ltd., a provider of storage solutions headquartered in Tsinghua Science Park in Beijing, in China. Under the terms of the agreement, WISDATA will market its MacroStor 3000 line, based on the Dot Hill R/Evolution (Rapid Evolution) architecture, throughout China.

Established in Beijing in 2000, WISDATA Systems employs its own research and development team, and delivers storage area network (SAN) and storage security solutions that require high-reliability RAID storage solutions. WISDATA Systems serves customers in the public sector, the oil and gas industry, and other sectors.

"Dot Hill continues to build a global base of customers for our R/Evolution architecture," said Cooper Cowart, Dot Hill’s vice president of marketing. "With great expertise in working with private and public sector end-user customers, we expect WISDATA to be a valuable partner in China."

"We chose to partner with Dot Hill for our MacroStor 3000 line because of the reliability and flexibility of its unique, modular R/Evolution Architecture," said Liu Hong, CTO, WISDATA Systems. "Our customers can’t afford any down time, and Dot Hill’s rugged design allows us to reassure our customers that they will have fast and reliable access to their data."

The Dot Hill R/Evolution platform offers superior modular scalability and features resulting in higher return on investment and lower total cost of ownership. The modular, dynamic system offers high availability and a fault-tolerant design, and allows customers the ability to easily customize their storage systems geared to performance or capacity, and/or to meet their specific business requirements.
