Maximum Storage: REDEFINED - The TeraStorus Provides 6 Terabytes of SATA Storage for Under $14k
Aberdeen revolutionized the backup storage community by introducing the 2TB "Backup Monster" for under $5000. Just a few months later Aberdeen presents the most robust all-inclusive storage and backup server to date, the Aberdeen Stirling X524. The 5U "TeraStorus" is the goliath of backup storage servers with 24 hot-swap hard disk drive bays suitable for 6TB of complete data storage.
Santa Fe Springs, CA (PRWEB) April 21, 2004 -- Aberdeen LLC, the Custom
Server Solution Provider, presents the most robust all-inclusive storage and
backup server to date, the Aberdeen Stirling X524. The 5U rackmount Aberdeen
Stirling X524, dubbed the "TeraStorus," is the newest addition to the Aberdeen
revolutionary line of backup storage servers. Aberdeen President, Moshe Ovadya,
proclaims, "The TeraStorus is the goliath of backup storage servers with 24
hot-swap SATA disk drive bays suitable for 6TB (terabytes) of scalable storage
for under $14,000." Ovadya later states, "Our TeraStorus redefines the standard
for backup storage capacity, and I am proud that Aberdeen has remained an
innovator in this market."
Aberdeen revolutionized the backup storage
community by introducing the 2TB "Backup Monster" for under $5000. Just a few
months later the 4U "TeraBuster" was launched with double the capacity. The
"TeraStorus" establishes a new server storage standard by offering a scalable
rackmount storage server that can provide up to 21TB of SATA storage and beyond.
By utilizing the included external SCSI connection the 6TB TeraStorus can be
supersized through the addition of up to five 3TB RAID storage expansion boxes
per SCSI connector, thus creating a scalable NAS server.
Serial Advanced
Technology Attachment (SATA) is a vast improvement over the venerable IDE disk
drives and provides several benefits. SATA is faster and more efficient due to
the use of point-to-point technology that provides a starting transfer rate of
150 Mbyte/s. the primary benefit of a disk-to-disk SATA storage server such
as the TeraStorus, is it provides an exponentially faster and more accurate
backup than traditional tape. By utilizing the disk backup feature, routine
progressive or full backups can be easily scheduled within multiple OS platforms
for full interoperability in heterogeneous environments. Aberdeen takes
advantage of the inherent benefits of disk-to-disk backup storage, such as
greater flexibility, scalability and a higher ROI to provide a better, faster
and more efficient disaster recovery and backup storage
server.
Businesses today have ever increasing amounts of data and as a
result IT manager have increasing concerns over downtime, disaster recovery and
ease of restore. As with the previous Aberdeen storage solutions, the
"TeraStorus" is designed to provide a cost-efficient and scalable backup storage
solution for a diverse range of shared network environments. The
"TeraStorus" is configured with dual Intel® Xeon™ processors, room for dual
internal OS hard drives plus 24 hot-swap/hot-spare drive bays and includes; dual
gigabit NICs, support for RAID 0,1,5 & 10, the industry's best internal
cooling system, a 3+1 redundant 950W power supply and an external SCSI port for
adding up to 15TB of expanded storage. Available options include; a tape drive,
CD-RW and Dantz Development’s Retrospect™ backup software to provide data
security, disaster recovery and file storage capabilities. Businesses can now
safely guard against downtime and the loss of critical data with the Stirling
line of backup servers.
At a fraction of the cost of comparable storage
applications, the all-inclusive TeraStorus provides; the benefits of faster and
more efficient SATA technology, built-in tape storage, scalability up to 21TB,
and reliability of redundant power and OS fail-over without the high cost of
ownership. The TeraStorus clearly redefines the standard for backup storage
servers in price, performance and packaging.
