IceWEB Announces Model 6500 High-Availability Cluster Storage Platform

STERLING, Va., Dec. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- IceWEB, Inc.™ (OTCBB: IWEB), www.IceWEB.com, a leading provider of Unified Data Storage and building blocks for cloud storage networks, announced today its new Model 6500 High Performance and High-Availability Cluster Unified Storage Platform. With dual, multiprocessor controllers, redundant nodes, shared storage and no single-point of failure, the Model 6500 Cluster:

• Protects against hardware and network failures; eliminates unplanned downtime for storage hardware and software upgrades; and minimizes change management time by automatically mirroring configuration changes. Data accuracy is ensured through checksum technology, RAID and replication policies.
• Delivers ultra-high performance as each of its four, multi-core 2.93 Gigahertz processors has 12 megabytes of cache and 96 Gigabytes of memory expandable to 192 Gigabytes.  The Model 6500 Cluster also comes with four 200 Gigabit Solid State Drives (SSD) and its L2ARC and ZIL hybrid array technologies dramatically accelerate Input/Output Operations (IOPS). 

The Model 6500 Cluster utilizes storage volume sharing and its dual, multiprocessor storage controllers monitor each other for failures—with heartbeats, network monitoring and fencing.  Neither controller is specifically designated to be the "primary" or "secondary controller." Both can be actively managing shared storage, although any given volume is owned by only one controller at any time.

The unique combination of dual multiprocessor controllers; clustering, CRC and the use of  hybrid-storage pool SSD caching makes the Model 6500 Cluster ideal for high-performance, I/O intensive applications and for high-availability mission-critical applications.

"We're seeing an exploding market for faster, larger, fail-safe unified storage platforms from customers with critical business data and challenging workloads," said Tim McNamee, IceWEB VP of Sales.  "The Model 6500 Cluster is designed to handle these demanding workloads, with zero unplanned downtime and nearly unlimited scalability."

With prices starting at under $45,000, the Model 6500 is available now.  All IceWEB Unified Storage Platforms are available through the Company's exclusive value-added distributor Promark Technology (800-634-0255).  Promark markets IceWEB products throughout the United States through its nationwide network of 1,200 channel partners.  For more information, please visit www.promarktech.com.
