TE Circuit Protection Introduces Industry's Lowest Capacitance Silicon ESD Devices for High-Data-Rate Applications
New SESD device family provides lowest insertion loss for highest-speed interfaces (e.g., USB 3.0/2.0, HDMI, eSATA, DisplayPort, and Thunderbolt technology)
MENLO PARK, Calif., Feb. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- TE Circuit Protection, a business unit of TE Connectivity, announces a family of eight new single-channel and multi-channel silicon ESD (SESD) protection devices offering the lowest capacitance (bi-directional: 0.10pF typical; uni-directional: 0.20pF typical), highest ESD protection (20kV air and contact discharge) and smallest size (multi-channel: smallest flow-through form-factor and 0.31mm height) packages available on the market.
The devices' ultra-low-capacitance results in the industry's lowest insertion loss, which is essential for maintaining signal integrity in ultra-high-speed applications. The devices help protect against damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD), surge and cable discharge events. The multi-channel devices also feature a flow-through design package that allows for matched impedance of PCB trace routing, which is essential for maintaining high-speed signal integrity. The ultra-low-capacitance, small size and high ESD kV rating of the SESD devices are well-suited for smart phones, HDTVs and similar consumer, auto and other markets' products using today's - and tomorrow's - highest-speed interfaces such as USB 3.0/2.0, HDMI, eSATA, DisplayPort, and Thunderbolt.
The single- and multi-channel SESD devices also feature an industry-leading 20kV contact and air discharge rating, exceeding IEC61000-4-2's 8kV industry standard. In the event of a high voltage ESD strike, this high kV rating helps minimize the risk of the ESD device failing short and permanently disabling the port, or open, exposing the downstream chipset to damage caused by another ESD strike. This capability helps reduce customer complaints and warranty repair costs.
"ESD protection devices add capacitance on data lines, which in turn can cause signal integrity issues that hamper a product's performance and interoperability. Today's high-speed ports need the lowest-capacitance ESD devices available to provide the highest degree of protection while having minimal effect on signal transmission," said Patrick Hibbs, Global Strategic Marketing and ESD Business Manager for TE Circuit Protection. "Our new SESD devices offer capacitance that is up to 92% lower than competing 'ultra-low-capacitance' solutions. This means our SESD devices are ready for Thunderbolt applications today. And even though the 4K ultra-high-definition (UHD) and quad high-definition (QHD) TV markets are still emerging, our SESD devices are ready for these applications as well."
Consumer electronics are constantly shrinking and TE Circuit Protection's SESD devices offer size advantages in the ongoing trend for miniaturization. The single-channel devices are available in 0201-sized XDFN small footprint (0.6mm x 0.3mm x 0.31mm) and 0402-sized XDFN (1.0mm x 0.6mm x 0.38mm) packages. The multi-channel SESD arrays (two-, four- and six-channel options) feature a package height as low as 0.31mm- resulting in up to a 50% lower profile than comparable devices. The SESD devices' lower profile allows for placement closer to the edge of the PCB, or in-between boards and connectors, facilitating design flexibility.
Additionally, one miniature four-channel SESD array can be used in a smaller board area than four 0201 devices, resulting in board space, assembly cost and device cost savings. As the smallest 4- and 6-channel flow-through arrays on the market, these devices also ease routing when used with applications employing miniature-size connectors, such as HDMI Type-D, mini DisplayPort, Thunderbolt and USB 3.0 Micro-B.

Texas Political Operatives Mackowiak and Stanford Team Up to Launch Bipartisan Site: Must Read Texas
Site Provides Top News, Editorials, Columns and Blogs from Across State
AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today two Texas political operatives of opposing political parties teamed up to launch a new, bipartisan website dedicated to providing a one-stop location for the state's top news, opining and blogging at http://www.MustReadTexas.com.
Founded by Matt Mackowiak, an Austin and Washington, DC-based Republican consultant and president of Potomac Strategy Group, LLC and Jason Stanford, an Austin-based Democratic consultant and president of Stanford Campaigns, the site will offer the top news, editorials, columns and opinionated blog posts from across Texas - bringing all of the state's best journalism to one location.
"Texas has no statewide newspaper, television station or radio station, and every day Texas business and political leaders and active, engaged consumers of news are missing stories that they need," said Mackowiak. "Must Read Texas will fill that void, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. We believe Texans will value this service, from Austin to Amarillo, from Texarkana to El Paso."
"Must Read Texas is a bipartisan news curator for both the Fox News and MSNBC sets in Texas," said Stanford. "It's basically a clip service without the campaign intern or the photocopy machine."
The site draws inspiration from RealClearPolitics.com, the Texas Tribune and Quorum Report, but aims to fill a niche that exists in Texas, while increasing attention to the outstanding work that is already being done throughout the state of Texas by working journalists, columnists and bloggers.

These advances are made possible through the use of open hardware, open networking, open APIs and open source software. Cloud-ready applications are those that are designed to take advantage of the economics and agility achievable by using open cloud infrastructure. These applications differ fundamentally from traditional applications in that they are more elastic in nature and support higher peak loads. Cloud-ready applications manage failure in software as opposed to hardware, eliminating typical enterprise application dependencies on expensive and proprietary infrastructure solutions.
"Cloudscaling OCS is our answer to customers who are telling us that they want public and private cloud infrastructure that's specifically designed to support the cloud-ready applications they're building," said Michael Grant, CEO of Cloudscaling. "They want the freedom that comes with an open infrastructure architecture, and that's what Cloudscaling OCS delivers."
Cloudscaling OCS has three core components: Open Cloud OS, hardware blueprints and CloudBlocks(TM).
Open Cloud OS: An OpenStack-powered cloud operating system for production cloud deployments. Open Cloud OS extends core OpenStack software with production capabilities and features including management, scalability, security and performance.
Hardware Blueprints: Proven deployment configurations for compute, storage and networking equipment. Hardware blueprints detail turn-key, scale-engineered hardware configurations to meet specific price/performance and availability targets.
CloudBlocks: Cloudscaling's unified architecture integrates Open Cloud OS software with hardware reference blueprints to define modular cloud building blocks.
"The market is demanding supported, production-centric, OpenStack solutions. Cloudscaling is focused on delivering enterprise-ready cloud infrastructure to meet that demand," said Randy Bias, co-founder and CTO of Cloudscaling. "Our timing is ideal, as our customers are finding that traditional enterprise cloud approaches are not well-suited for next-generation, cloud-ready apps. Cloudscaling OCS is a production-grade, open cloud system that gives enterprises their own scalable and elastic infrastructure to support like-minded applications."
Comments from Partners About Cloudscaling OCS
"The partnership with Cloudscaling is a meeting of the minds," said Chris Greendale, founder and CEO, Cloud Technology Partners (cloudTP). "The Cloudscaling Open Cloud System delivers on how we think OpenStack technology clouds should be deployed for production environments."
"Cloudscaling's Open Cloud OS brings an important capability for deploying OpenStack software in a production environment," said Bailey Caldwell, vice president of business development at RightScale. "Today RightScale manages many of the largest public and private cloud deployments, and we know that customers greatly benefit from running applications on production open cloud infrastructure."
"We're very excited about continuing our long partnership with Cloudscaling and the launch of Open Cloud OS, " said George Reese, CTO of enStratus. "Together, enStratus enterprise cloud management and Cloudscaling's Open Cloud OS join enterprise controls with cloud scalability."

Process Seals Develops New Hygienic Design-compatible Washer for Food and Beverage, Chemical and Pharmaceutical Industries
ELGIN, Ill., Feb. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- To address the ever-present risk of germ and bacterial contamination, Process Seals developed a new aseptic Hygienic Usit® washer especially designed for hygienic design applications. The washer reliably seals screw and bolt heads to protect aseptic isolators and areas that make contact with both the product and external influences from the risk of contamination.
Process Seals' Hygienic Usit washer seals externally, cleanly isolating the space between the bolt and the surface from all external influences to protect the product. Other current applications are internally vulcanized, trapezoidal and leave air spaces where fluid and product deposits can collect. As processes cannot completely clean the area under the bolt head, an unsanitary area can develop.
"Despite the enormous risk of germ or bacterial contamination, plant constructors and operators in the process industry often use non-compliant bolt washers that create a breeding ground for bacteria," said James Lippert, U.S. sales manager, Process Seals. "With its specialized design, our Hygienic Usit washer establishes new hygienic standards in sealing technologies for the food and beverage, chemical and pharmaceutical industries."
The Hygienic Usit's sealing bead is made of 70 EPDM 291 material, which is compliant with Food and Drug Administration, EC 1935/2004 requirements and is biologically safe according to United States Pharmacopoeia Class VI criteria up to 121°C, making it the ideal choice for hygienically demanding applications in the process industry. Additionally, the washer is specially constructed for use with hexagon bolts with flanges (DIN EN 1665) and is available in the standard sizes M5, M6, M8, M10, M12 and M16.
Process Seals, a division of the international Freudenberg Sealing Technologies, is a sealing solutions supplier for the food and beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. As a specialist in process engineering applications, the company has more than 160 years of technological knowledge and market expertise. For more information, please visit http://www.freudenberg-process-seals.com.
Freudenberg Sealing Technologies is the largest member of the Freudenberg Group, a family enterprise with more than 34,000 employees in 59 countries.

iRise Finalizes New Mobile Prototyping Capabilities on Apple Platforms
New iRise Studio for the Mac transforms and accelerates multi-platform enterprise software development by quickly creating visual software prototypes that work like final coded apps, long before a single line of code is cut
EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Feb. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- To give businesses the widest possible choice of platforms for quickly creating productive new software and mobile apps that work right the first time, iRise® today announced general availability of a Mac-based version of its popular visualization and prototyping software. The new software--iRise Studio for Mac--helps businesspeople visualize and experience what it's like to use new applications before they're coded, transforming communication between business and IT and slashing costs by eliminating expensive rework.
The new software release helps companies cope with the perfect storm created by both the high expectations raised by the ease of use of mobile platforms such as the iPhone, the iPad, and laptops, and the continuing high risk of software project failure, estimated to be as high as 68 percent.[1] The increasing use of such platforms in business, often referred to as "the consumerization of IT," has put many organizations under intense pressure to rapidly create business applications for stakeholders who are now quickly irritated with even small flaws in their user experiences.
"These firms are looking for a way to accelerate their mobile app development while still satisfying their customers, partners and employees," says Maurice Martin, president, COO and founder of iRise. "iRise helps these organizations show everyone involved in new app development exactly what users will experience, which speeds up development and increases the chances that users will be happy with the final product," he explains.
"Our customers can often eliminate rework, so not only can they accelerate their projects, but they typically save up to 50 percent of their project costs, too," Martin adds. "Some of them are even able to assemble a comprehensive simulation during a single, half-day long, cross-functional team meeting"
The iRise platform flips the old software development paradigm on its head. Stakeholders get to see and test software by using the visualization to do the types of things they'll do when the application is fully coded such as scrolling, using slider bars, stretching and compressing displays and entering information into forms. With iRise Studio for Mac, all of these experiences occur at the beginning of the development cycle, rather than at the end.
Companies that have experienced such iRise-enabled transformations include more than half of the Fortune 500. The effect of using iRise on organizations' software capabilities is often stunning. "Once participants experience this new, lightning-fast way of defining software they're sold, and never want to flip through reams of printed documents again," says iRise's Martin.
Similar to computer-aided design (CAD) tools for physical products, simulations built with iRise act as working models or "visual blueprints" for complex business applications. Users can actually use the simulation the way they will interact with the final version, eliminating the painful surprises and expensive last-minute changes that are often needed when users only get to use the near-final versions of software projects.
Included in the new release are these rapid app-building capabilities:
-- Rapid app design: Creates fully dynamic, interactive visualizations that
work like the real thing, in hours, with no coding
-- Support for most mobile platforms: Creates simulations for iOS, Android,
Blackberry, Windows Phone 7, WebOS, Tablets, industrial devices and more
-- App acceleration: Speeds development from the right idea, to the right
app, the first time
-- Real-time collaboration: Stakeholders can review and comment on new apps
with a viewer that works on most common mobile platforms.
-- Leverage for existing assets: Makes it easy to update current,
non-mobile applications for mobile platforms
About iRiseiRise is the world's leading provider of enterprise visualization software for business applications. Visualization has become a critical competitive advantage for businesses to more effectively communicate their needs to technology teams and give everyone involved the ability to interact with and fully experience applications before they are built. Companies such as General Motors, UPS, FedEx, Haworth, Manpower, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, and hundreds of others use iRise to "test drive" their applications before building, which accelerates time to market, improves customer experience, and drives cost down. Headquartered in El Segundo, Calif., iRise is backed by Morgan Stanley Venture Partners, and Deutsche Bank, and has sales offices across North America and in London.

HATBORO, Pa., Feb. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- You're just older. You're not dead. (OND) - The latest effort by The Sports Network's CEO and President, Mickey Charles, and his wife, Rosalind, Vice President, has elicited kudos and a desire for more of everything regarding http://www.oldernotdead.com, a site directed at the already immense, and rapidly growing, baby boomer generation. The premise is that "You're just older. You're not dead" and, as Mr. Charles indicated in a recent interview, "The fact of the matter is that we all have to grow older but, that being said, we do not have to grow old in the process and it is our inherent right, a demand of our very being, to enjoy every second and moment we are here, to live life to its fullest. And we, like all other groups, need an Internet destination that caters to us specifically. Our intention is to bring it all to the boomers...in one location. And to do so with a huge diversity of categories that range from technical to travel, food to financial, exercise and health to wine and spirits, fashion to real estate, medical to sports amid a host of others...and growing."
Visitors gravitating to http://www.oldernotdead.com have heaped praise upon it in recent months with comments such as "It's about time!" and "Finally, one destination with everything we want...no more searching" plus "What took you so long?" and "Those lessons on the computer from my grandkids are paying off."
"Plaudits are coming from everywhere," added Mrs. Charles, "and that is why our contributor ranks are growing on an international basis, as is our approach to the content being offered. Further, our contributors have added to the accolades, as evidenced by the following comments."
"All of us at One Reverse Mortgage," indicated Richard Mandell, CEO, "are excited about the new partnership with OlderNotDead.com. This new website is a great place for active seniors that want to get the most out of their retirement. We look forward to being the preferred reverse mortgage resource for those that are looking to improve their retirement years."
Rachael Church-Sanders, Editor of MEI Sport & Technology...from London, "No one here has come close to what the Charles' are doing and their effort is a fantastic idea for a website that offers something for everyone, no matter where they sit on the baby boomer age scale. It is a great honour to be the first 'Across the Pond' contributor for this great site, offering some perspectives from your fellow English-speaking cousins. Anyone for cream tea and scones?"
Barry Levin, DMD, PC, internationally renowned and respected physician, provided his own plaudits. "As a periodontist, this fantastic site caters to my patients like no other. Their interests, such as travel, dining, fitness, healthcare and, of course, periodontics/dental implants, are the focus of this website. Mickey has hit a 'home run' with this concept. I am thrilled to be part of this venture from the beginning. Only great things to come!"
Michelle Newman, contributing lifestyle/travel journalist - "Older not Dead looks terrific! You are pouring your heart and soul into this baby and the results are marvelous!"
About http://www.oldernotdead.com - founded by Mickey and Roz Charles of The Sports Network (http://www.sportsnetwork.com) and dedicated to serve the 80+ million baby boomers growing at the rate of 10,000 per day...the fastest growing demographic online that represents over 25% of the population, 65% of the net worth of all US households and over $2 trillion in disposable income.

ROANOKE, Va., Feb. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Optical Cable Corporation (Nasdaq GM: OCC) ("OCC(®)" or the "Company") today introduced Procyon(TM), a new family of structured cabling products featuring industry-leading performance, density, accessibility and cable management features designed for use in various applications, including data centers. OCC's Procyon family of products includes copper and fiber panels with integrated cable management systems, high-density fiber cassettes, cabinets, and more.
"OCC has a long history of pioneering innovation and offering industry-leading technologies. The Procyon family of products is an important part of our product line expansion strategy, under which we are building on OCC's legacy to better serve our customers and end-users and to continue creating shareholder value," said Neil Wilkin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Optical Cable Corporation.
"OCC appreciates the challenges faced by IT, structured cabling and data center professionals," said Wilkin. "We have listened closely to installers and users to better understand what they want, what works and what doesn't work--and we have applied that feedback to develop Procyon, OCC's next generation of structured cabling products."
"The Procyon family of products offers a complete system approach," said Dr. Ian Timmins, Research & Development Engineer at Optical Cable Corporation. "We didn't just create a single component--we developed a system that allows a single component to work better when combined with corresponding components, as well as on its own. When used with OCC's comprehensive suite of cabling and connectivity products and solutions, the performance, functionality and versatility of our Procyon offering surpasses all expectations."
"Procyon offers unprecedented integration of essential features and the highest density per rack unit on the market, clearly differentiating it from products offered by other manufacturers" added Timmins.

With OCC, you get it all."
Ted Leonard, Vice President of Technology and Engineering at Optical Cable Corporation, added, "In addition to technical excellence, Procyon was designed to be easy to use and cost effective. Procyon systems are designed for pre-configuration so that IT professionals can kit together the components needed for simpler installations. Plug-and-play just got easier."

eXelate Launches maX Data(TM): Adaptive Audience Segments, Custom Built on a Campaign-by-Campaign Basis
Proprietary modeling algorithms and massive data cloud of unique signals combine to deliver 3x-5x performance lift for clients
NEW YORK, Feb. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- eXelate, the leading data and analytics engine powering optimal digital marketing decisions, today announced the launch of maX (modeled audience eXtension) data(TM), a dynamic audience intelligence product which leverages first-party data and insights to accelerate digital marketing campaigns. maX data(TM) combines the power of unique, proprietary first-party data with the massive scale of third-party data to deliver 3x - 5x better campaign results than traditional data and contextual targeting.
eXelate's maX data(TM) moves beyond "cookie cutter" segmentation to build unique targeting segments, in real time, based on an advertiser's specific campaign goals. Through a combination of sophisticated analytics and a massive data cloud filled with unique data signals, eXelate creates custom data segments that adapt to each advertiser's demands and continue to get smarter throughout the life of the campaign. eXelate calls this process Adaptive Audience Intelligence(TM), which is the heart of what has helped drive advertiser performance to new levels.
"Data has been the media buyer's best friend for years, but as they become more data conversant, they're no longer satisfied with pre-constructed audience segments. Marketers want original, proactive campaign plans that incorporate dynamic audience targets. eXelate's maX Data(TM) delivers adaptive audience segments proven to increase campaign performance. We're enabling media buyers to maximize ad spend, stop wasting impressions and target custom audiences that drive results," explained Damian Garbaccio, Chief Revenue Officer of eXelate.
maX data focuses on specific advertiser challenges as opposed to trying to solve those challenges with a pre-formatted answer. Plus, maX data, versus traditional modeling methods, is built with rich, exclusive data points at unrivaled scale -- thereby delivering unique insight into audiences.
"The key challenge facing audience buyers is efficient scale," says Eugene Becker, Vice President of Analytics for Xaxis. "Large brands quickly exhaust high-affinity segments available off the shelf. The fact of the matter is that there's never enough high-performing data. Xaxis tackles this challenge by building the data that our clients need. This is where eXelate's maX comes in."
Key benefits of maX Data(TM) include:
-- Unique and Proprietary. All maX Data(TM) segments are custom built for
the advertiser, and are not sold to any other media buyer in order to
preserve the inherent competitive advantage of the max Data(TM) segment
to that advertiser.
-- Scale. Advertisers do not need to wait to build a custom targeting pool;
eXelate's real-time solution delivers modeled segments to the advertiser
from day one.
-- Flexibility. maX Data(TM) can be leveraged on any media platform. The
data isn't one size fits all, so the media shouldn't be either.
About eXelateeXelate provides data and insight on online purchase intent, household demographics and behavioral propensities that enable digital advertisers to make optimal marketing decisions. Through the collection of directly measured online data and distribution partnerships with information leaders such as Nielsen, Nielsen Catalina, MasterCard Advisors, Bizo,and more, eXelate makes online, offline, and custom modeled data sets actionable across 350M online consumers worldwide. eXelate's proprietary maX data(TM) - customized audiences built for advertisers based on first and third party data - delivers 2x campaign performance as compared to standard data sets. As members of the NAI, IAB, Council for Accountable Advertising, OPA and Evidon's Open Data Partnership, eXelate is a leader in privacy compliant advertising practices.

Ukash, the international e-commerce cash payment method, has announced consumers
across the whole of Argentina will now be able to use their cash online with Ukash.
Ukash had been available in Buenos Aires since February 2011: now its presence has
been extended to the entire country because of a partnership with More in Argentina, made
possible via its LATAM partners Raberil Trading S.A.
The entire network of More stores went live this week, bringing over 100 nationwide
outlets where the consumer can now purchase Ukash in Argentina.
Ukash empowers people worldwide to use cash electronically, irrespective of status,
device or boundary, and is available at 420,000 retail locations. Globally, Ukash is
active in more than 50 countries.
David Hunter, chief executive of Ukash, said: "Our research indicated that Ukash is
perfect for the Argentinean market. For example, over 60% of the population access the
internet regularly, with rates of internet access and e-commerce also growing".
"Furthermore, bank account penetration in Argentina is relatively low, with cash
transactions accounting for 42% of all purchases, compared to just 4.6% card transactions
- as an alternative cash payments business, we were very interested to discover this.
"For all these reasons, we knew the opportunity to shop online using cash would be
well received, and that Ukash could provide a safe, secure and convenient solution for
many consumers across Argentina."
Rafael Ubilla, chief executive of More Money, said:
"At More, we have great expectations with the agreement signed with Ukash. As of this
week, Ukash is available to consumers in all our shops in Argentina. We are in no doubt
that this agreement will facilitate the availability of Ukash to a very high number of
consumers here."
In order to shop, pay and play online with Ukash, customers will be required to give
their full name, ID number and address the first time they visit More stores.
Once this registration process is completed, customers can simply confirm their name
and address verbally in order to purchase Ukash vouchers. Customers will be able to locate
their nearest Ukash outlet via the website: http://www.ukash.com/latin-america/es/home.aspx

Dot Hill Announces Improved Performance and Security in VMware Virtual Server Environments
Dot Hill AssuredSAN 3000 Series with VAAI and SRM Support Provides the Highest Levels of Data Protection for Today's Virtualized Environments
LONGMONT, Colo., Feb. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Dot Hill Systems Corp. (Nasdaq: HILL), a leading provider of SAN storage solutions, today announced that the most recent version of its firmware for AssuredSAN(TM) 3000 storage systems will include VMware(TM) vStorage APIs for Array Integration (VAAI) support and Site Recovery Manager (SRM) support, to ensure improved performance and data security within VMware virtual server environments.
VAAI includes three separate capabilities: block zeroing, full copy, and hardware assisted locking. The AssuredSAN 3000 fully supports these functions with the new firmware and can now speed provisioning of new virtual machines, accelerate cloning and reduce the use of the CPU for storage vMotion functions.
SRM is VMware's flagship product for data protection and disaster recovery across geographic sites. SRM is integrated with array-based replication to provide an efficient mechanism for maintaining replicas of virtual machines on multiple sites. The Dot Hill AssuredSAN 3000 Series, with built-in AssuredRemote(TM) technology, provides the critical replication element of the overall SRM solution, enabling customers to implement a comprehensive disaster recovery plan for their mission-critical virtual machines.
The VAAI support on the Dot Hill AssuredSAN 3000 Series is certified by VMware on vSphere 4.1 and 5. The SRM support on the Dot Hill AssuredSAN 3000 Series is certified by VMware on vSphere 5. These new features are available through a free software upgrade to the AssuredSAN array and are enabled by a free software plug-in to the VMware ESX servers.
"Customers using VMware virtualization require high performance and high availability network storage solutions. Dot Hill's AssuredSAN 3000 series provides a unique combination of high speed and five 9's of availability," said Jim Jonez, senior director of marketing, Dot Hill. "The Dot Hill AssuredSAN 3000 array with VAAI and SRM support improves storage efficiency with added security for VMware users."
Specifically, customers choosing the Dot Hill AssuredSAN 3000 array enjoy significant advantages over users of competitive offerings such as advanced data management, remote replication, snapshots, volume copy, energy-saving drive-spin-down and Dot Hill's patented EcoStor(TM) green features. Dual redundant RAID controllers, dual power supplies and dual fans bring uptime figures to five 9's of availability. The Dot Hill AssuredSAN 3000 Series provides the highest levels of data protection for today's virtualized environments and leverages VMware's virtual file system and Storage VMotion technologies to perform proactive, non-disruptive storage migration, eliminate virtual machine I/O bottlenecks and free up valuable storage capacity, maximizing IT investments.
"While users appreciate that they can free up server and IO resources to support virtualized production workloads by moving IO-intensive processes from their ESX hosts to their storage arrays, the actual level of benefit they'll realize from VAAI will to a large degree depend on the underlying storage. Flexible, scalable, high performance storage systems with VAAI integration will logically allow customers to gain more efficiencies, increase consolidation, and therefore reap greater returns on their VMware investments," states Mark Peters, senior analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group.
Dot Hill's new firmware release featuring VAAI and SRM support will be available within 30 days. The firmware upgrade is free to existing Dot Hill AssuredSAN 3000 customers and can be accessed through Dot Hill support.
Dot Hill will be exhibiting the VMware Ready storage arrays at the VMware Partner Exchange in Las Vegas, from February 13th through February 15th.
The Dot Hill AssuredSAN 3000 Series
The Dot Hill AssuredSAN 3000 Series offers support for 8Gb Fibre Channel storage area networks (SANs), dual interface 8Gb Fibre Channel/1Gb iSCSI and 6Gb SAS - attached JBODs, along with optional Dot Hill AssuredRemote data management software for remote replication. Advanced data management, such as AssuredCopy(TM) and Dot Hill's volume copy technology enable the creation of independent data volume copies for additional data protection.
The AssuredSAN 3000 Series incorporates a number of eco-friendly features 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 arrays feature 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.
