Ultera Systems, the leading provider of scalable Virtual Tape Controllers (VTC) for enterprise backup, restore and archive has announced today that they have signed a reseller agreement with Western Scientific of San Diego, CA. The agreement authorizes Western Scientific to resell Ultera’s Mirage Virtual Tape controller.
"Ultera is very pleased and excited about our partnership with Western Scientific, when you consider their 20+ year history in the data storage business. Their selection of our new Mirage Virtual Tape product over the competition is a real win for
Ultera", said Mo Nour, President and Founder of Ultera Systems.
The recently introduced Mirage controller operates as a hard drive based virtual tape library providing high performance backup and restore with instantaneous file access and a unique embedded archive capability with seamless scalability. Mirage brings immediate performance improvements to backup, restore and archival applications, as its measured backup/restore rate is 280GB/Hr. for the SCSI version and 540GB/Hr. for the fibre channel version.
"Ultera’s Mirage Virtual Tape is a very powerful addition to the vast lineup of storage solutions we offer. Mirage will enable us to provide our existing customers enhanced backup capability without reconfiguring their systems or retraining their
personnel", said Dave Krueger, Executive Vice President of Western Scientific.
With over 20 years in the storage solution business we understand what new products will provide our customers with the best performance and reliability at the best price and the Mirage Virtual Tape exceeded our stringent requirements hands
down continued Krueger.
Mirage also features an auto-archive operation that automatically moves data stored in the virtual library to a physical library. All library robotics are managed by the controller including exporting of tapes from the library for off-site storage. Mirage fully supports ALL industry tape drives and tape libraries, disk RAID and is totally application software transparent.
