Infortrend EonStor DS and EonNAS Support 3TB HDDs

Infortrend Technology, Inc. announced that storage systems in its EonStor DS and
EonNAS families now offer support for enterprise-class 3TB disk drives.

According to market research, managing data growth is one of the major business
challenges for SMBs and enterprises. Support for Hitachi
GST‘s 3TB Ultrastar drives on storage systems enables SMBs and enterprises to
manage data growth more efficiently.

Thomas Kao, director of product planning at Infortrend,
noted: "Even with all the other advances of storage systems, raw capacity
remains one of the key considerations for SMBs and enterprises when buying
storage systems. By working in close cooperation with HDD vendors such as
Hitachi GST, we are now among the first storage system vendors to offer support
for 3TB drives and thereby enable our customers to store more data in the same
storage space."

Brendan Collins, vice president of product marketing at
Hitachi GST, said: "Hitachi has been a leader in the development of
enterprise-class disk drives, and by teaming up with Infortrend and taking
advantage of its strong position in the entry-level and mid-range storage
markets, we ensure that more businesses will be able to enjoy the reliability,
performance and capacity delivered by our enterprise-class 3TB Ultrastar
drives."

The EonStor DS family features entry-level storage solutions
for SAN and DAS environments offering data protection at
affordable price points. The EonNAS family consists of unified storage systems
that serve file-based and block-based applications.
