January 7, 2002 - Winchester Systems, a leading provider of high performance storage solutions for an organization's enterprise and mission-critical environments, and BiTMICRO Networks™, a pioneer in intelligent flash solid state disk drive storage, today announced their strategic collaboration to deliver Enterprise Class Storage Systems equipped with E-Disk® technology, addressing both the commercial and military markets.
"When we
set out to develop
an integrated
SSD solution that
provides essential
enterprise-class
storage and transparent
integration with
standard industry
interface and
footprints, we
knew we would
have to integrate
cutting-edge solid
state storage
solution with
our innovative
FlashDisk®
technology,"
said Jerry Namery,
president of Winchester
Systems. "After testing several solid state disk solutions in the marketplace, we chose to adopt BiTMICRO's technology. Under single architecture, E-Disk® technology offers compatibility, high performance, uninterrupted reliability, security, ruggedness, compactness, and scalability that we require to make our FlashDisk SSD a reality. Our FlashDisk SSD will enable our customers to effectively leverage SAN infrastructure and employ a proven SSD solution in mission critical applications," added Namery. Winchester has a rich history of designing and marketing sophisticated enterprise storage systems for industry segments that expect speed, reliability, and proven technology. Their flagship product, FlashDisk, is an OpenRAID® (redundant arrays of independent disks) storage subsystem that works with any open platform mid-range server. The FlashDisk has emerged as a storage powerhouse for commercial organizations needing the highest productivity and reliability for their enterprise applications. The Ruggedized FlashDisk RAID Disk Array version is designed to meet the most demanding military requirements at "COTS" prices. FlashDisk Ruggedized model meets MIL-STD-810E for Environmental compliance, MIL-STD-461D for EMI compliance, and MIL-STD-2169B for High Energy Magnetic Pulse (HEMP) compliance. Unique cooling and heating features, along with the rugged construction throughout, make this the Ruggedized RAID storage solution of choice by the military and industrial markets. FlashDisk also supports both point-to-point Fibre connections and Switched. FlashDisk provides the speed that organizations need for sequential applications including multimedia, web servers, imaging, prepress, and backup and for processing intensive transaction applications, such as Oracle, Sybase, ClearCase, and other manufacturing, financial, and database applications. "Developing a premier enterprise storage system is directly tied to our strategic ability to incorporate and leverage best-of-breed technologies of both companies,"' said Rudy Bruce, president of BiTMICRO Networks. "We are especially proud to be part of Winchester's breakthrough FlashDisk SSD solution that offers world-class enterprise storage of today and tomorrow.'' The E-Disk® solid state HDD technology incorporates BiTMICRO's DataSentinel™, the industry's most comprehensive data protection package. Monitoring power fluctuations and operating transparently in the background, DataSentinel provides automatic data protection. It improves data integrity by performing cyclic redundancy checks designed specifically for use with flash devices. DataSentinel's custom on-the-fly Error Correction Code logic is capable of correcting multiple error bursts without performance loss, a million times more powerful than its closest competitor. The E-Disk® technology is fully compatible with Linux, Solaris, Windows, MacOS and LynxOS. It also supports AIX, FreeBSD, HP-UX, IRIX, NetBSD, OS/2, QNX, VxWorks, SCO Unixware and OpenServer, Solaris x86 and Tru64. BiTMICRO's nonvolatile ramdisk technology is ideal for e-commerce, embedded systems, expanding Internet communications, telecommunications, transportation, military, aerospace and enterprise installations such as servers, JBOD, direct attached storage (DAS), network attached storage (NAS), storage area network (SAN) and RAID. The E-Disk® flash drive technology is compatible with Cisco, Sun, HP, IBM, EMC, Dell, Compaq, Brocade, Network Appliance, McDATA, and Unisys systems. They integrate and install seamlessly in environments that run Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, Sybase, and Veritas products.
