Infortrend Supports HGST 4TB HDDs

Infortrend Technology Inc.
announced that its line of storage solutions, including the ESVA, EonStor DS
and EonNAS families, now offer support for enterprise HGST 4TB HDDs.

Support for
HGST’s 4TB Ultrastar 7K4000 drives on all of Infortrend’s storage solutions
enables SMBs and enterprises to scale and manage data growth more efficiently.

Market
research continues to show that SMBs and enterprises are still experiencing an
explosion of data growth. Advancements in technology and the increasing demand
for large size data, such as full HD content, have created massive storage
requirements for businesses of all sizes. With this growth comes the challenge
of effectively storing large amounts of data – while maintaining efficiency.

To
face this challenge and manage data information more efficiently, SMBs and
enterprises need more scalable, cost-effective data storage capacity – and 4TB
HDD supported storage systems offer a solution.

Thomas Kao,
director of product planning at Infortrend, elaborated, "Raw capacity
remains one of the key considerations for SMBs and enterprises when buying
storage systems. By working in close cooperation with industry-leading HDD
vendors such as HGST, Infortrend is now among the first storage system vendors
to offer support for 4TB drives – and thereby enable our customers to store
more data in the same storage space."

Brendan
Collins, VP, Product Marketing at HGST, said: "HGST has been a leader
in the development of enterprise-class disk drives. By leveraging our
high-capacity 4TB Ultrastar drives, Infortrend is taking advantage of its
strong position in the entry-level and mid-range storage markets, and is
helping to ensure that more businesses will be able to enjoy capacity data
storage without increasing their physical storage footprint."

Their ESVA
family offers storage systems built on a architecture, featuring virtualization
and scale-out technologies. 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.
