Infortrend Releases New EonStor G6 Subsystems to Complete Its 4G Fibre Channel
(FC) Series

SAN JOSE, Calif., July 7, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Infortrend(r), the networked
storage expert, (Public TPE: 2495) today announced the addition of two 4G
FC-to-SAS/SATA storage subsystems, the S24F-R1440 and S24F-G1440, to its
EonStor(r) G6 family. Powered by Infortrend's advanced ASIC667
(Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) technology, the new 4U form factors
deliver increased performance and broaden the range of product options available
from Infortrend's 4G Fibre Channel series.

With the addition of the 4G Fibre Channel solutions to the EonStor G6 product
line, Infortrend continues to underscore its commitment to providing products to
meet the needs of customers with diverse requirements for high quality storage
systems by designing the 4U models to feature 4G FC connectivity and SAS drive
support on the architecture, powered by its next-generation RAID engine. The new
24-drive EonStor G6 S24F-R/G1440 delivers 80% better performance than the
EonStor A24F-R2430 and A24F-G2430, and subsystem performance to address the
demands of today's expanding data center environments. Featuring extensive
scalability, a single S24F subsystem can be scaled up to 104-drive installation
through expansion enclosures. The massively scalable capacity ensures
enterprises the ability to flexibly expand their storage as their data continues
to increase along with corporate growth. As with all EonStor G6 products, the
S24F model can be administered, configured and monitored locally or remotely via
SANWatch(r), Java-based storage management software developed to support
simultaneous script-based configuration of multiple subsystems.

In addition to enhanced performance and scalability, the S24F also offers users
the benefits of high availability combined with a green IT hardware design
included as a standard feature on all EonStor G6 models. To safeguard cached
data during power outages, Infortrend's innovative CacheSafe(r) technology is
also integrated into the new products. When encountering a power failure, the
'Cache Backup Module (CBM)' will write all cached data to the flash backup
module (FBM) for permanent retention, which eliminates the common 72-hour
battery power limitation that can cause data loss. Based on a High Availability
(HA) modular design, all redundant modules including controllers, power supplies
and cooling fans are hot-swappable to achieve high fault-tolerance capability.
By designing the systems with intelligent drive spin-down and dynamic cooling
mechanisms, Infortrend continues to demonstrate its strong commitment to Green
IT, enabling companies to reduce their carbon footprint and lower operating
costs, while helping to contribute to environmental sustainability.
