IceWEB™, Inc. (OTC BB:IWEB),a leading provider of Unified Data
Storage appliances for cloud and virtual environments as well as secure,
infinitely scalable Cloud Services, today announced another
significant order from a Virginia school district, expanding the
Company’s growing presence and acceptance in the education sector as the
go-to standard.
Working with a local reseller, IceWEB successfully placed a large multi
appliance IceWEB system providing primary storage for the school
system’s VMWare server infrastructure. In addition, the IceWEB system
will replicate all data to an additional IceWEB 24TB backup appliance,
leveraging IceWEB’s award winning replication technology.
“While I typically don’t report individual sales, this one is
significant in that it illustrates all of the things we strive for and
execute upon daily. This sale provides a complex end-to-end solution in
which, after an exhaustive vetting process we replaced a “tier-one”
supplier. It’s in one of our key market segments—education. We brought
the deal in at the critically important price point so necessary for
educational institutions in this difficult budget environment, and we
made good margins for our reseller and for IceWEB,” said Rob Howe, CEO
of IceWEB.
“Our technology meets or exceeds customer requirements, provides
excellent value for money, and our reseller program makes significant
dollars at the point of sale for our partners. That’s how a channel
program is supposed to work, and we provide that every day,” Howe
concluded.
IceWEB Hybrid Systems with 240GB Solid State and IceCACHE acceleration
create another layer of cache between the ARC (Adaptive Replacement
Cache) and the hard disk drives. Called L2ARC (Second Level Adaptive
Replacement Cache), it contains data that was in the ARC but hasn't been
accessed in a quantified period of time. When a request for data comes
in, it looks first in the ARC. If the Data is not located in the ARC,
instead of going to the slow-moving, spinning hard-disk drives, the
request is automatically forwarded to the faster L2ARC layer.
In addition, all IceWEB Hybrid Storage Platforms feature two mirrored
60G write optimized (Intent Cache), a write cache that uses Solid State
Drives (SSD) to log calls for data to be written to the hard disks. This
allows the writes to be cached, flushed together and then written
synchronously which is much faster than slow-performing random writes
from other technologies. For more information on IceWEB technology, go
