LONGMONT, Colo., Oct. 25, 2011/PRNewswire/ --Dot Hill Systems Corp. (NASDAQ: HILL), a leading provider of unified virtual storage and SAN storage solutions, today announced that its Dot Hill AssuredSAN(TM) 3000 Series arrays have achieved full verification with Citrix® XenServer® as part of the Citrix Ready® program.

"The Citrix XenServer platform has been widely adopted in Windows and Linux environments, providing reduced infrastructure costs and increased productivity for enterprises around the globe," said Jim Jonez, senior director of marketing, Dot Hill. "Designated Citrix Ready, Dot Hill AssuredSAN storage products are tested and fully interoperable with Citrix XenServer and XenDesktop environments."

Dot Hill AssuredSAN 3000 Series - Redefining Entry-level Storage
Dot Hill AssuredSAN 3000 Series arrays offer support for 8Gb Fibre Channel storage area networks (SANs), 10Gb iSCSI, as well as other 'state of the art' interface options. In addition, Dot Hill continues to add midrange capability and value to its 3000 Series with options such as AssuredRemote(TM) data management software for remote replication. Advanced data management such as AssuredCopy(TM), Dot Hill's volume copy technology, enabling the creation of independent data volume copies for additional data protection, and Dot Hill's AssuredSnap(TM) snapshot capability for improved data availability and business continuity, allow companies to reduce the burden of meeting modern data retention policies. The AssuredSAN 3000 systems can scale to a total of 288 terabytes of storage with inexpensive JBOD expansion units.
The AssuredSAN 3000 Series features a number of eco-friendly enhancements such as drive spin-down capability and 595-watt 80 PLUS-rated (greater than 80 percent energy efficiency) power supplies for reduced operating costs. Additionally, the AssuredSAN 3000 Series also features Dot Hill's patented EcoStor(TM) "green" battery-free alternative for cache memory, which leverages a combination of super capacitors and flash memory that outlasts traditional batteries nearly fivefold. Business benefits include lower maintenance and disposal costs and reduced server and application down time due to scheduled battery replacement and maintenance.
