Elite Brands Deploys Data Robotics' DroboElite Digital Content Protection Solution

Apr 02, 2010 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Data Robotics, Inc., a provider of solutions to protect digital content, announced that Elite Brands, a supplier of over 40 brands and hundreds of products to US military commissaries and exchanges around the world, has deployed Data Robotics' DroboElite to provide redundant storage to ensure data accessibility and protection in the company's Microsoft Hyper-V virtual server environment.

"With five servers filled to 95 percent capacity, we were constantly running out of space and systems were very slow," said Dylan McCullough, systems engineer at Elite Brands. "DroboElite enabled us to add 16 terabytes of capacity instantly and create new volumes in seconds. As a result, I no longer have to worry about increasing hard disk space on the network. Beyond capacity expansion, what stood out the most was the BeyondRaid technology." "Companies of all sizes are moving towards increasingly virtualized server environments, and the DroboElite provides storage that essentially manages itself for those environments," said Jim Sherhart, senior director of marketing at Data Robotics. "By providing a place to keep data and integration with virtualization platforms like Hyper-V and VMware, the DroboElite allows companies to focus resources on their business rather than managing complex IT configurations." With DroboElite, Elite Brands noted it is able to ensure business continuity by leveraging Data Robotics' BeyondRaid storage virtualization technology for zero-downtime capacity expansion and protection against failed drives. Dual drive redundancy ensures that Elite Brands' essential business data is accessible even in the event of up to two simultaneous hard drive failures. BeyondRaid also provides massive volume expandability in a virtualized architecture that is both self-managing and self-healing, enabling Elite Brands to solve both of its core challenges of capacity management and data safety.
