iQstor Adds Automated Remote Replication to iQ2850 Storage System, Extending Affordable Disaster Recovery to Rapidly Growing iSCSI SAN Market

Remote Replication Functionality Delivers Automatic Backup and
Disaster Protection Benefits to iQstor Customers
NEWBURY PARK, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
iQstor Networks, Inc., a leading developer of intelligent and
integrated Storage Area Network (SAN) solutions, today announced new
data protection capabilities for its all-inclusive iQ2850 IP SAN
storage system, making affordable disaster recovery available to the
rapidly growing iSCSI SAN market. The iQ2850 has expanded its standard
set of features to include automated remote replication capabilities,
providing businesses of all sizes with automatic back-up and disaster
protection of critical information.

With iQstor's iQ2850, business data can be created and stored
around the corner, across town or around the globe for the rapid and
reliable backup and data protection, providing customers with a robust
and scalable long distance solution for business continuity, disaster
recovery and data protection applications. The iQ2850 with
Asynchronous Remote Replication (RRA) creates instant, point-in-time
consistent copies that are automatically transported to the designated
location and managed through a simple, intuitive interface, creating
an all-in-one storage solution that eliminates the need for add-on
server-based software purchases and costly integration. Using RRA,
companies can easily extend their storage infrastructures via iSCSI to
setup secondary remote storage locations anywhere in the world,
without distance limitations.

"Getting data off site and into a protected system is at the very
heart of an effective business continuity plan," said Jason Lo,
president and CEO of iQstor Networks. "Our iQ2850 with automated
remote replication makes it easy for customers to extend SAN
technology beyond the data center to provide superior protection of
data in a simple, cost effective package."

The iQstor iQ2850 is a scalable, self-managing, iSCSI storage
array with enterprise-level features including volume management-based
virtualization, snapshot, volume-copy, remote replication,
policy-based capacity expansion, database agents and multipath driver
that is both affordable and simple to use. Each iQ2850 supports up to
fifteen 1TB SATA drives providing 15TB of redundant, fault tolerant
storage capacity or 6TB using 400GB FC4 drives, and scales to 240TB
SATA or 96TB FC through connectivity with the J2880 SBOD disk
enclosure. Other features of the iQ2850 include hot-swappable and
fully redundant controllers, power supplies, fan modules and disk
drives. With the addition of automated remote replication, the iQ2850
provides IT managers the ability to optimize both the data protection
capabilities and cost effectiveness of their storage deployments by
moving important data over IP networks using block-level storage
systems to create and manage heterogeneous environments.

A dual controller iQ2850 iSCSI storage system with volume
manager-based virtualization, snapshot, volume copy, remote
