WiSCSI, New Storage Connectivity Environment by IceWEB

IceWEB, Inc. has engineered a new storage connectivity environment called WiSCSI. The capability provides wireless 802.11b,g,n storage access for field deployable networks. The Company anticipates shipping the first WiSCSI units in December 2009.

Gary Dunham, SVP Product Development & Engineering for IceWEB detailed the offering: "WiSCSI will for the first time enable first responders, Warfighters, field engineering teams, and disaster personnel to at the flip of a switch on their laptops to both deliver and connect to sophisticated shared storage environments wirelessly. Building on the iSCSI protocol, IceWEB’s WiSCSI adds full wireless functionality to SAN and NAS deployments. Two days ago we announced the WorldBook, a ruggedized Mil-Spec laptop with the worlds largest notebook based storage capacity. Combining our Iplicity Storage software, the WorldBook (or our MLP III portable GIS server), and WiSCSI gives field teams the capability to both deliver content on those devices to an unlimited number of wireless network clients, and to deliver storage space to them as well so that the teams can assimilate and instantaneously update real-time information."

"WiSCSI allows the setup of instant on, data anywhere networking," said John R. Signorello, IceWEB CEO. "This technology will not only benefit disaster preparedness personnel and first responders, but anyone who needs to have access to critical data and storage wherever they may be, movie production teams shooting at field locations, temporary medical clinics, command center sites for military personnel, oil and gas exploration, concert and event security staff, construction engineering teams, etc."

The underlining technology of WiSCSI will be added to IceWEB’s growing intellectual property portfolio. IceWEB will continue to add to its intellectual property while simultaneously releasing innovative and industry changing products and services.
