IceWEB Debuts Two Hybrid SSD Unified Storage Platforms

IceWEB, Inc. has expanded its Model 3000 and 5000 storage platforms with New Hybrid (HB) models:

• The Model 3000-HB with 2X 100GB SSD and 10X 1TB SATA drives, is priced under $30,000.
• The Model 5000-HB with 3X 100GB SSD and 13X 1TB SATA drives, is priced under $35,000.

Both models are ready-to-deploy and include IceWEB’s all inclusive Storage Operating system which supports both SAN/block and NAS/file requirements in both data center and cloud environments.

"Our HB systems combine the speed of solid state drives (SSDs) with the low-cost and high-capacity of hard disks to create hybrid systems with just the right ratio of cost and performance," said Ed Kraus, Vice President of Production, IceWEB. "IceWEB’s Storage Operating system then seamlessly integrates the SSDs and HDDs with the file system to not only significantly increase I/O performance but to also dramatically lower overall power consumption."

SSDs can be combined with other drive types (SAS or SATA). Compared to traditional HDDs, SSDs are typically less susceptible to physical shock, quieter, and have lower access time and latency.

All IceWEB storage platforms are immediately available through the Company’s exclusive value-added distributor Promark Technology.
