Buffalo's TeraStation III iSCSI Line Achieves VMware Ready(TM) Status
AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Buffalo Technology, a global leader in the design, development and manufacturing of wired and wireless networking and network and direct attached storage solutions, today announced that its TeraStation III iSCSI line has achieved VMware Ready(TM) status. This designation indicates that Buffalo's TeraStation III iSCSI Pedestal (TS-IXL/R5) and TeraStation III iSCSI Rackmount (TS-RIXL/R5) have passed a detailed evaluation and testing process managed by VMware and are now listed on the VMware Partner Product Catalog.
Passing the extensive VMware-specified testing helps ensure that Buffalo makes best use of VMware technology and is ready for deployment in customer environments.
"We are pleased that the TeraStation III iSCSI qualifies for the VMware Ready(TM) logo, signifying to customers that it has passed specific VMware testing and interoperability criteria and is ready to run in production environments," said Bernie Mills, senior director, alliance programs, VMware.
"As a business grows, so does its need for cost-effective storage solutions," said Ralph Spagnola, vice president of sales at Buffalo Technology. "The new TeraStation III iSCSI paired with VMware is a powerful SMB solution that provides reliable VMware storage while fitting into the budget of cost conscious SMB purchasers."
Buffalo's TeraStation III iSCSI Pedestal and TeraStation III iSCSI Rackmount are ideal choices for businesses looking for affordable storage solutions to expand virtual machine storage. Utilizing existing Ethernet infrastructure, the TeraStation III iSCSI makes it extremely easy to consolidate your existing storage systems efficiently. Both TeraStation III iSCSI models feature a heavy-duty power supply and oversized cooling system, as well as vastly improved CPU speed guaranteeing excellent and reliable performance. With hot swap/hot spare, port trunking technology and AES-128 data encryption, the Buffalo TeraStation III iSCSI increases data security and redundancy. Whether adding it to an existing VMware Storage-Area-Network or creating a new SAN, the Buffalo TeraStation III iSCSI Pedestal and TeraStation III iSCSI Rackmount are reliable and highly cost-effective virtual storage solutions.
The VMware Ready program is a VMware co-branding program for qualified partner products and is a benefit of the VMware Technology Alliance Partner (TAP) program. With more than 1,300 members worldwide, the VMware TAP program works with best-of-breed technology partners to provide them a comprehensive set of VMware technical and marketing services, support, tools and expertise to deliver enhanced value to joint customers.
