IceWEB Receives Orders From More Two K-12 School Systems

IceWEB Storage Corporation announced
that two additional K-12 school systems have ordered new IceBOX BYOD
implementations, further cementing the company’s growing presence in the
education sector.

The two orders include the IceWEB 2200 2U IceBOX storage appliances with 8TB of
capacity. These customers chose the 2200 platform because of its expandability
and its ability to replicate data to a DR site to provide for continuity of
operations.

"These solutions provide our
customers with greater productivity with our IceBOX ‘work from anywhere‘ (BYOD) platform. School districts
can implement these on premise, or completely in the cloud. Teachers are now
able to share folders and files with students, and students can access their
own network shares so that homework and projects can be accessed from any
location imaginable securely," said Rob Howe, CEO, IceWEB.

"We are seeing an increasing
interest from colleges and universities, as well as K-12 school systems across
the country as we approach the new fall school year. These two organizations
are particularly interested in ensuring that their secure and sensitive data is
not being stored in public cloud platforms, which increases the risk of
compromising the integrity of their data. IceBOX provides a secure,
cost-effective way for them to do that," Howe concluded.

IceBOX provides:

• 256 bit encryption – Federal FIPS 140-2 compliant.
• Auditing capabilities to ensure that users are complying with sharing
  policies.
• Data protection with a built-in backup utility and DR
  replication capability in 2000 models.
• BYOD support: Apple, Android, Blackberry, Windows Mobile and
  Kindle.
• The ability to present existing Window network file shares via the IceBOX Cloud
  Platform.
