Comstor partners now have access to X-IO's Intelligent Storage Element (ISE) product suite, including the world-record-setting ISE 800 Series all-flash array, which delivers the industry's best price/performance balance, as rated by the Storage Performance Council. Comstor data center solution partners will benefit from the highly-flexible and unique ISE architecture, which is available in all-flash, all-disk, and hybrid configurations.

This partnership further strengthens the Comstor offering by adding a key complementary component to our Cisco ecosystem-oriented product portfolio." X-IO ISE technology addresses the demands for consistent performance, simplified, hypervisor-integrated management and true low-touch reliability in VDI, OLTP and BI-DW environments.
