TwinStrata Announces TriCore Solutions Partnership and Customer Wins with Exchange 2010 and Oracle RMAN Cloud Storage Solutions

BOSTON, May 24 /PRNewswire/ -- TwinStrata, Inc., a pioneer in the cloud storage enablement software market, and TriCore Solutions, a leading provider of enterprise technology solutions, today announced customer validation of cloud storage solutions for Microsoft Exchange 2010 and Oracle RMAN based on TwinStrata CloudArray™ software.  

CloudArray is the industry's first purpose-built architecture and software solution that enables intelligent storage clouds to help companies address challenges related to protecting and managing the growth of business application data. CloudArray customers are realizing many benefits from transitioning to an adaptive IT storage infrastructure including the ability to better map business objectives to IT, respond quickly to changing needs, optimize IT operational efficiency and improve IT cost controls.

CloudArray combined with Exchange 2010 delivers Remote Replication and Business Continuity Readiness

"We knew our Exchange 2010 environment was protected locally, but we faced a challenge keeping updated copies of all of our mailboxes offsite for rapid recovery from a different location if needed," said Gary Pelzman, Chief Technology Officer at Tanya Creations Inc., a large manufacturer of jewelry and fashion accessories based in Rhode Island.  "Our CloudArray solution allows us to affordably and securely replicate our Exchange mailboxes to offsite cloud storage with little or no impact to our business.  We have achieved an offsite replication solution for Business Continuity and recovery without any of the costs associated with maintaining a second physical location with dedicated hardware.  Further, the ability to resume operations of our Exchange server from any location, even a virtual location, is a big win for us."

Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN) extended to Cloud Storage at Color Kinetics

"At Color Kinetics, we have been using Oracle RMAN to protect our Oracle environment for many years. We realized there could be a substantial cost benefit in using secure cloud storage instead of traditional solutions, but connecting RMAN to a cloud provider wasn't a simple solution since we would need to program to APIs," said Nick Gass, Director of IT at Color Kinetics, a division of Phillips that designs and manufactures advanced LED lighting systems. "CloudArray SAN software easily interfaces RMAN to EMC Atmos cloud storage.  With flexible on-site caching, it has decreased our backup windows, vastly reduced our restore times by 90% and also brought us considerable savings in our offsite backup operation."

Together, TwinStrata and TriCore Solutions are meeting real customer needs with Cloud Storage solutions

"CloudArray™ has enabled TriCore Solutions to meet the demanding availability requirements of our customers with a solution that delivers on the promises of cloud storage.  Our Oracle and Microsoft managed services customers are achieving both capital and operational expense reductions as compared with traditional solutions for replication and off-site storage, with substantially simpler deployments and a rapid time to benefit," said Mark Caggiano, General Manager of Data Management Solutions at TriCore.

CloudArray features include cloud storage provider management across private and public storage clouds and Compute Anywhere™ technology that delivers business agility and increases data availability for business applications. It also features intelligent caching where cloud storage appears and performs like local iSCSI or file storage.

CloudArray operates as a virtual appliance and supports all market-leading hypervisors: VMware ESX/ESXi, Citrix XenServer, and Microsoft Hyper-V. CloudArray also operates in the cloud supporting Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud). CloudArray enables IT solutions for data replication, backup/restore, data archiving, disaster recovery and business continuity, and Compute Anywhere™ application accessibility both on premise and in the cloud
