SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- 08/04/08 --
LinuxWorld Booth #834 -- Promise
Technology, Inc., a global supplier of sophisticated RAID storage solutions
for enterprise and SMB customers, today announced Linux support for all its
products as an important extension of its Linux business strategy. Promise
has long supported Linux product development with storage solutions ranging
from the desktop to the datacenter and unified by a common management
interface. Linux users can count 24/7 technical support as a significant
benefit to the powerful range of Promise's VTrak and SuperTrak Linux
storage solutions.
Promise will demonstrate its broad range of storage solutions, highlighting
its product commitment to Linux and its in-depth value to resellers and
channel partners, at the LinuxWorld Conference and Expo in San Francisco,
August 4-7, 2008. Visitors will experience Promise's VTrak E-Class RAID
Subsystem with JBOD Expansion chassis showing 500MB of streaming video, as
well as the SuperTrak EX8654 SAS/SATA controller card connected to a JBOD
expansion unit. Promise's own storage experts will be on hand to
demonstrate and educate attendees on storage technologies and products
designed to support Linux applications.
"With integrator support driving significant and progressive market growth
of Linux into business infrastructures and enterprise networks, Promise is
poised to take the lead in a Linux market seeking a broad range of storage
solutions and experience," said Sam Sirisena, Senior Vice President, Sales
and Marketing, Promise Technology, Inc. "Promise brings a lot to the table
for integrators and resellers. With a common management interface that
spans our entire product portfolio rather than just a single product line,
our Linux customers see a tremendous time and cost savings benefit to their
implementations. And with dedicated support, they get mission-critical
respect for literally every storage application."
Promise RAID storage solutions include open source Linux drivers mainlined
in the upstream kernel and 'in the box' for distributions such as RedHat,
openSUSE and others. The company offers a complete portfolio of SAS/SATA
storage solutions from the desktop to the datacenter. They are
distinguished by a common code base and a unified management interface
across products. Promise takes that differentiation further with its
service commitment including 24/7 tech support, three-year warranties and
the all-important advance replacement feature, critical to keeping systems
operational at all times.
