Coraid and Transcend United Technologies Partner on Cloud Storage Services
REDWOOD CITY, CA, Jan 10, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Coraid(R) Inc., a leading developer of Ethernet SAN solutions with
more than 1,500 customers worldwide, and Transcend United
Technologies, LLC, a Pennsylvania-based global IT systems integration
and managed services firm, today announced a partnership that
delivers next-generation Ethernet SAN storage for Transcend United
cloud services. Transcend United engages in the assessment, design,
configuration and installation of IT and communications
infrastructures for organizations in the United States and
internationally. The partnership will allow Transcend United to
provide a wide range of innovative cloud services that deliver a
flexible and efficient shared IT infrastructure.
"Economic and competitive forces are pushing our customers to seek
alternatives to better align their IT infrastructure with their
business needs. By offering cloud services we can make our customers
more efficient and help them respond faster to ever-changing business
requirements," said Stephen Benson, executive vice president of
managed services at Transcend United. "We looked at several competing
storage offerings and technologies, but only Coraid EtherDrive SAN
provided the scalability, performance and simplicity we required.
Coraid storage lets us grow our cloud programs and focus on our
customers rather than worry about the hardware in the rack."
Transcend United hybrid cloud services extend infrastructure and
application architectures to augment their clients' existing IT
strategy. Along with engineering expertise, Transcend United provides
cloud infrastructure with the scalability and elasticity clients
require to achieve their business goals and improve their bottom
lines. The cloud services span core practice areas of unified
communications, data infrastructure, backup/recovery and
mobility/wireless.
Coraid EtherDrive solutions provide enterprises of all sizes with
flexible, high-performance storage while eliminating the complexity
of traditional SAN solutions. Using an innovative scale-out SAN
architecture and standard Ethernet, Coraid EtherDrive storage arrays
provide lower OPEX and a 5-8x price-performance advantage over legacy
storage. EtherDrive is ideally suited to dynamic high-performance
computing, virtualization, video and cloud computing environments.
Coraid leverages standard Ethernet and the CorOS(TM) distributed
storage operating system to deliver higher performance than Fibre
Channel at up to 1800 MB/s of throughput or nearly 200,000 IOPS per
array using low-cost, industry standard hardware. EtherDrive scales
to multiple petabytes with a flat Ethernet SAN topology and
connectionless, massively parallel design. Deployment and
configuration of EtherDrive are simple; a host can configure and
address new storage in under 60 seconds. The scale-out design also
enables a Zero-Hour Support(TM) customer-service offering based on
Coraid disk-portability technology, which allows users to swap drives
between arrays for upgrades, service reconfiguration, data transfers
or disaster recovery on the fly.
