StorageQuest Announces REFLECTOR™ for Primera® - a Network Backup & Archive Solution for Small and Medium Size Businesses
Innovative solution is the first to utilize Primera CD and DVD publication equipment to offer small and medium businesses (SMBs) an unprecedented value in data protection.
Ottawa, Canada (PRWEB) July 6, 2005 -- StorageQuest Inc., the leader in
network attached optical storage management, today announced the REFLECTOR line
of Network Backup & Archive solutions. This is the industry’s first solution
to take advantage of the off-the-shelf CD and DVD publication hardware from
Primera Technology. REFLECTOR offers SMBs a feature-rich data protection
solution and an information publishing solution at a cost far less than most
tape solutions.
REFLECTOR is a unique solution in Windows® data
protection, providing comprehensive, cost-effective, and compliant backup and
recovery. Its intuitive user interface simplifies installation and management
through easy-to-use wizards that configure and backup servers and networked
users.
REFLECTOR’S Disk-to-Disc architecture is designed for businesses
changing from magnetic disk/tape to optical disc backup for compliant long-term
data protection. REFLECTOR’S long-term data protection features include file
spanning, file splitting and optical disc labeling. File spanning automatically
records optical discs for the backup dataset and optimally packs the data
requiring the smallest number of discs. File splitting manages files larger than
a piece of optical media to split across multiple discs. Split files can be
restored without using the REFLECTOR software on any operating system. REFLECTOR
will automatically print a full-size, full-color label on each piece of media
with the information the user has specified during the setup process. Printing
is automatic so each disc is easily identifiable.
REFLECTOR software,
when combined with Primera Technology’s Bravo II™ or BravoPro™ Disc Publisher,
also enables businesses to publish and duplicate CDs or DVDs for marketing,
software, training videos, images and other business data. By using REFLECTOR as
a backup solution and a CD/DVD duplicator, small businesses are able to greatly
increase productivity by performing several functions lowering their cost of
ownership.
“SMBs are among the fastest growing IT segments today,” said
Fred Bedard, StorageQuest’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “These
companies have IT needs that are just as sophisticated as enterprise level
companies, but look for solutions that are simple to install, use and maintain.
REFLECTOR’s unique capability of utilizing Primera's optical storage publication
hardware delivers an unprecedented value to these businesses. They not only reap
the benefits of a feature-rich network backup and archive solution, but they
also get an award-winning CD/DVD publishing system
all-in-one-solution.”
“When you consider the pervasive nature of CD and
DVD technology, it’s easy to see why a solution like REFLECTOR is necessary,”
said Mark Strobel, Primera Technology’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
“Backup and archival to optical media has multiple benefits over tape including
lower cost, proven reliability and portability to any operating system without
unique hardware or software. With the added benefit of True WORM media, all data
will meet compliance regulations for unalterable data storage.”
Jon
Toigo, CEO of Toigo Parnters International, the industry’s only consumer-focused
research and analysis company adds, “Long outside the economic reach of smaller
companies, WORM technology has finally come down to earth with the release of
StorageQuest’s REFLECTOR. Now, those concerned about regulatory compliance and
non-reputability in long term data storage can leverage this inexpensive
technology to integrate with existing DVD media-based publication systems to
make short work of the problem.”
