Echostreams Partners with WD® and Storiant™ to Deliver a Purpose-Built, Long-Term Storage Solution at Supercomputing 2014, Booth #959, in New Orleans

Echostreams Innovative Solutions, LLC. today announced the availability of eDrawer4096J, the highest density storage enclosure on the market today, 24x tool-less-removable 3.5" HDD bays per U density, designed with Storiant's long-term storage attributes such as optimized RVI protections, power management and metering, as well as supporting 12VDC input from in-rack power shelves.

"Modern datacenters are rapidly evolving, with cold storage becoming a critical and large component of the overall web-scale strategy," said Matt Rutledge, senior vice president and general manager, storage technology, WD. "The energy-efficient WD Ae drives enable an archive storage tier in large-scale cloud infrastructures. We commend Echostreams, a long-time WD collaborator, for recognizing the market need, acutely focusing on developing the right solutions and delivering those to market."

"Our software is built to deliver long-term storage that is both scalable and affordable - and we worked closely with Echostreams to make this an ideal enclosure that takes advantage of our full range of features," said Jeff Flowers, CEO of Storiant. "The unique and innovative combination of Echostreams' eDrawer4096J, WD's Ae datacenter archive HDD and ourstorage solution provides data center customers with an archival solution that is cost effective, high-performance and key to any long-term data strategy - especially in today's Big Data world."

"There are many so-called cold-storage solutions out there, but none with specific features designed just for cold-storage usage model like our one-of-a-kind eDrawer4096J," said Gene Lee, President/CEO of Echostreams Innovative Solutions, LLC. "This platform was designed from the ground up to meet every requirement of a datacenter archival cold-storage solution. When equipped with WD's Ae datacenter archive HDD and managed by the object storage software by Storiant™, this solution is the most CapEx and OpEx-optimized solution available today. It is the ultimate archival storage solution for HPC datacenters."
