ProDefence Launches 1.5TB Removable Disk Backup Media
October 2008 by Marc Jacob
ProDefence a UK distributor of eSecurity products and services across the UK and Ireland, announced today that they will be launching at Storage Expo a 1.5TB removable SATA disk for use with their line of removable disk backup systems as part of Idealstor’s product suite – a manufacturer of removable disk-to-disk backup solutions. This announcement increases their lead in removable disk media capacity which they claim further strengthens the argument for using removable disk media in place of tape for backup and disaster recovery.
ProDefence who distribute Idealstor’s products in the UK and Ireland, produce removable disk backup systems that are designed to replace or augment tape backup. The Idealstor backup systems are available for organizations of all sizes with systems available with 1 removable drive bay up to 8 with removable disk capacities up to 12TB per system. Unlike most disk to disk backup systems on the market today that are designed for storing data, Idealstor uses a combination of hardware and software to make the disks removable so they can be used for offsite storage of data and disaster recovery. Idealstor removable media is unique in that they utilize non-proprietary 3.5” SATA2 drives as backup media. These drives are available as a kit from ProDefence that includes a ruggedized removable disk caddy and a protective carrying case.
