New Customers for Xiotech Emprise Systems

Xiotech Corporation announced that a number of new organizations have purchased either the Emprise 7000 or Emprise 5000 system.

New Emprise customers include:

Altru Health System;
AutoVIN;
Beam4D Enterprises, LLC;
County of Paulding, Board of Commissioners;
Highlands County Clerk of Courts;
ICMA Retirement Corporation (ICMA-RC);
Integrated DNA Technologies;
Milliman Care Guidelines;
Minnetonka Public Schools;
Orlando Utilities Commission;
ProHealth Care;
U.S. Navy’s Surface Combat Systems Center (SCSC); and
the University of Southern California (USC) Marshall School of Business.

Many of the customers selected the Emprise systems because the product line is built on patented Intelligent Storage Element (ISE) technology, which minimizes drive-related service events through a combination of preventive and self-healing capabilities. Xiotech backs the technology with a five-year hardware warranty.

This benefit was a critical factor for Beam4D, since its flagship product is a software-as-a-service (SAAS) accounts receivable management solution which must remain online and available for customer access. Beam4D’s Chief Software Architect Jerry Rubin said: "Our clients’ business demands a storage system with unprecedented reliability. The unique self-healing ISE architecture of the Emprise 7000 system, along with our high-availability virtual machine cluster, gives them exactly what they need."

New customers also cited the industry-leading performance of the Emprise systems, since the ISE technology tightly integrates drive, enclosure and controller software and distributes much of the processing and cache into the ISE enclosure.

Altru Health System‘s Technical Support Manager Matt Schumacher noted: "We chose the Emprise 7000 system because it addresses the primary disk failure and rebuild issues we’ve had with our previous storage area network (SAN) technology without sacrificing performance. While we don’t typically jump on new technology like this, we’ve been a Xiotech customer for 10 years and always have been impressed by Xiotech’s customer service and technology. The ISE technology is tested and proven and will give us industry-leading I/O speed so we can keep up with increasing demands for the storage of clinical data which needs to be instantly available to our caregivers."
