HAVANT, United Kingdom, Jan. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --
Xyratex Ltd (NASDAQ: XRTX), a leading provider of data storage technology, today announced that TMC, a global, integrated media company, has named ClusterStor(TM) by Xyratex a winner of a 2013 Cloud Storage Excellence Award presented by TMC's Cloud Computing Magazine.
Cloud storage providers have steadily been on the rise over the last year. Since security, data analysis and data protection are key concerns, data centers and storage professionals are very focused on maintaining and improving cloud storage facilities. The Cloud Storage Excellence Award recognizes companies that have introduced or improved cloud storage solutions. Winners of the Cloud Storage Excellence Awards will be published in the January 2013 issue of Cloud Computing Magazine.
ClusterStor delivers a new standard in file system performance, scalability and efficiency. Its unique architecture brings together what were previously discrete server, network and storage platforms with their own separate software layers, into a single integrated modular scale out storage building block. This innovative approach enables the system to scale both performance and capacity while aggressively reducing space, power and administrative overhead.
"This award underscores the rapid adoption of our ClusterStor family of storage solutions, and the tremendous value it brings to data-intensive computing environments," said Ken Claffey, senior vice president of the ClusterStor business at Xyratex. "The introduction of the ClusterStor 6000 was an important milestone for us, and in collaboration with our partners we're helping end users achieve best-in-class performance, reliability and scalability - including implementing the fastest data storage system in the world."
"I extend our congratulations to Xyratex for its ability to show maturity and expansion of the cloud storage market through innovation and product quality," said Erik Linask, Group Editorial Director, TMC.
