Xiotech Storage Solutions ...
Rob Williams, Wintel Infrastructure Team Member at Herman Miller, has been doing some work with a local company, Sirus, in regards to storage solutions. Xiotech products have been the perfect fit so this month we are going to have Rob and a Xiotech representative share their solutions and experience with us. We all have to plan and provide data storage solutions to our companies/clients so staying current with the products and changes in this area is our topic this month.
Xiotech Corporation is one of the largest privately held data storage companies in the world. Xiotech has built a diverse base of customers globally and consistently ranks as one of the top vendors in the industry in customer satisfaction ratings.
The company's patented Intelligent Storage Element (ISE) technology serves as the foundation of its Emprise line of storage hardware products, which deliver the industry's highest performing, most reliable application-oriented data storage. ISE enables 100 percent usable storage capacity, with zero drop in performance as drives are fully utilized. Xiotech systems provide more performance with less hardware because of their efficiency, allowing organizations to scale their storage infrastructures up and out with unmatched flexibility.
