IceWEB Receives Contract From Owner Promark Via Channel Partner

IceWEB, Inc. has received an order from Promark Technology, via one of its newest channel partners for an IceWEB 3000HP (High Performance) Unified Storage Platform.

The system is being deployed in a new VMware installation. IceWEB’s Storage Platform OS Manager includes an API (Application Programming Interface) to VMware’s Vstorage virtualization technology, which provides integration between IceWEB and VMware.

"IceWEB’s growth strategy is clearly targeted on cloud computing, virtualization and unified data storage," said John R. Signorello, IceWEB CEO. "Not only do we have the right products at the right time, we have forged the right partnerships – VMware, and Citrix – to serve a giant market that is just starting to take off. As Apple, Amazon and Google continue to pave the way for mass consumer cloud adoption, the anticipated demand for Locally Connected Cloud Storage Devices (LCCSDs: IceWEB’s patent pending technology) is expected to grow 100 fold over the next ten years. We will continue to leverage Promark Technology’s distribution channel to scale the IceWEB footprint expeditiously in the mid tier space over the next 24 months."

"The combination of IceWEB unified storage and VMware provides customers with a much better way of managing their shared storage arrays," said Tim McNamee, IceWEB’s Director of Channel Sales. "Virtualization improves storage utilization and efficiency, reduces management overhead, and leverages existing storage resources. IceWEB’s storage efficiency technologies reduce capital expenses and increase performance while reducing operating costs and carbon footprint."

In addition to its VMware interface and its storage efficiency, features such as thin provisioning, deduplication, compression and linked-clone technology make an IceWEB Unified Storage System the solution for high-performance, enterprise-class cloud computing installations. All IceWEB products are VMware certified.
