Newtech Selects Exar's BitWackr(TM) for NAS Deduplication
Windows-Based Storage Appliance Offers Deduplication to Japanese Market
FREMONT, Calif., Aug. 2 -- Exar Corporation (NASDAQ:EXAR) today announced the selection of the BitWackr deduplication product by Newtech for their Supremacy NAS product. Newtech, a Japanese storage manufacturer, selected BitWackr for its ease of integration and support for SAS, SATA, and SSD disk drives.
Exar's BitWackr enables OEMs to incorporate in-line data deduplication and data compression into both Linux and Microsoft Windows-based servers and appliances. Adding deduplication and compression to primary or application data reduces storage costs and enables data to be retained on disk for longer periods of time while reducing both storage capital expenditures and operating expenses.
"Including BitWackr into the Supremacy product provides our customers with an easy to use deduplication solution that will increase their storage efficiency," said Hiroshi Kanno, Executive Officer, Sales Division, Newtech. "The addition of deduplication provides customers with another opportunity to reduce the power and cooling requirements in their data centers."
"With Supremacy NAS, Newtech is able to offer their customers one of the industry's 'greenest' storage solutions without asking them to give up any of the benefits of Microsoft Server technology or ease of use," said John Matze, vice president, Storage System Products, Exar. "BitWackr solidifies Newtech's position as a leading storage networking solutions supplier."
About BitWackr
BitWackr offers storage, server and appliance OEMs in-line data deduplication, compression (and optionally data encryption) without loss of performance by using Exar's data reduction and security cards coupled with enabling software. Capable of reducing primary and application data by up to 90%, BitWackr-equipped products usher in the coming generation of storage devices in which data is stored, transported and backed up in a reduced state.
BitWackr brings hardware-accelerated, advanced data reduction technology within reach of OEMs and system builders regardless of size or developmental staff resources. Easily integrated, BitWackr reduces capacity needs immediately while conserving the energy required to power and cool disk storage. Working equally well with internal storage, external RAID or SAN-attached storage, BitWackr is a robust and fully-qualified storage optimization solution for Microsoft Windows and Linux servers, storage and appliances.
