ProStor Systems Adds Bridgehead Software to List of
ISVs to Support New InfiniVault Archive Appliance
BOULDER, Colo. – Oct. 9, 2007 – ProStor Systems, a leading developer of removable
disk storage solutions, today announced that BridgeHead Software has added application
support for ProStor's InfiniVault™ archive appliance, the world's first removable disk
archive system for small and medium enterprises, providing customers with a complete
data lifecycle management solution.
BridgeHead's HT ISM is an Integrated Storage Management software platform
for automated, policy-based data lifecycle management. HT ISM provides the complete
range of functionality to help InfiniVault customers meet their critical data retention,
business continuance, disaster recovery, data availability and compliancy needs. It
includes HT FileStore, a file archiving system that uses a rules engine to automatically
identify files across the network that should be copied or moved to archive media for
long-term and compliant protection. It also includes HT Backup, a powerful enterprise
data backup system.
ProStor's InfiniVault provides an unbeatable digital archive and compliance
system that reduces storage costs by combining long-term data retention, regulatory
compliance, automated data archiving and disaster recovery protection in a single,
simple-to-deploy and easy-to-use appliance. By leveraging RDX® removable disk
and disaster recovery protection of removable media but with a
system design that is far more reliable than tape and much lower cost than fixed-disk
archive systems.
"There are two aspects to an effective Data Lifecycle Management strategy. One
is automatically and transparently identifying and moving data to the ideal secondary
storage location. The other is ensuring that location is cost-effective, highly available,
and secure over the lifespan of the data," said Patrick Dowling, Senior Vice President of
Marketing, BridgeHead Software. "HT FileStore and InfiniVault are perfectly matched
to address these needs. ProStor customers will have an ideal long-term storage medium
in InfiniVault and they will have BridgeHead's HT FileStore to intelligently move the
right data from across their network to that environment, through flexible automated
policies."
"BridgeHead's HT FileStore and HT Backup supercharge the InfiniVault by
taking full advantage of the tiered storage functionality to radically simplify the
management, protection and migration of corporate data throughout its life cycle," said
Steve Georgis, President and CEO at ProStor. "We're excited by the added value that
BridgeHead brings to InfiniVault customers."
