PROSTOR SYSTEMS ADDS NEW HIGHER CAPACITY REMOVABLE DISK CARTRIDGE TO ITS MEDIA PORTFOLIO
New 160 GB RDX® cartridge demonstrates scalability, flexibility for SMBs technology strategy
BOULDER, Colo. (Jan. 15, 2007) —
ProStor Systems, the leading
developer of removable disk storage solutions, today announced the addition of a
160 GB capacity to its lineup of RDX® removable disk cartridges — a 33%
increase over its previous capacity. RDX media is now available with native
cartridge capacities of 40, 80, 120 and 160 GB, allowing small and medium-sized
business users a choice of cartridge capacities and backup options for their
servers and workstations. Like all RDX cartridges, the new 160 GB capacity is
fully forward and backward compatible with all RDX drives.
RDX technology is the new multi-vendor standard in removable disk
storage media for backup, archive and portable data applications. Compatible
RDX solutions are available from several companies, including Tandberg Data,
Imation and a leading PC and server manufacturer.
"We recognize the importance of professional-grade data protection for
small and medium-sized businesses, said Steve Georgis, CEO and president of
ProStor Systems. "That’s why we remain committed to advancing RDX
technology to its greatest potential, providing the most reliable and best
price / performance / capacity ratio of any removable media solution for the SMB
user," he added. "Small businesses are replacing low-end tape and fixed disk
storage with RDX technology because it’s fast, safe, transportable and easy to
use."
Designed with enterprise-class features, RDX cartridges and drives back
up more than 125 GB of data per hour, access files instantly and archive data
safely for more than a decade. The RDX storage solution is 10 times faster and
more reliable than any tape storage product used in the past by small and midsized
Commenting on the announcement, James Ellis, vice president of
strategic growth programs at Imation, said, "We are pleased to support RDX
technology, a forward- and backward-compatible technology. Users need not
purchase a new drive to take advantage of improved capacity as new cartridges
will continue to work in existing drives. With a choice of capacities to meet
individual needs from 40 GB to 160 GB, we see RDX technology providing an
extremely attractive set of storage attributes to the SMB user."
