Axxana's Phoenix System(TM) RP Selected as a Product of the Year by Storage Magazine-SearchStorage.com
"Black Box" Wins Silver Award in the Backup and Disaster Recovery Hardware Category
TEL-AVIV, ISRAEL--(Marketwire - February 5, 2010) -
News Highlights:
-- Axxana's first product, the Phoenix System RP, took home the Silver
Award in Storage Magazine-SearchStorage.com's prestigious "2009 Products of the Year", in the Backup and Disaster Recovery Hardware
category.
-- This annual awards program is presented by the editors of TechTarget's
Storage Media Group. Winners were judged by the Storage
magazine-SearchStorage.com editorial staff, in conjunction with a team of
users, industry experts, analysts, and consultants.
-- Axxana's disaster-recovery system was selected based on the following
criteria: innovation, performance, ease of integration into existing
environments, ease of use and manageability, functionality, and value.
-- According to the judges, Axxana's product is one that can "help smaller
enterprises get their hands on the technologies that can deliver short
recovery time objectives (RTOs) and more aggressive recovery point
objectives (RPOs)." Previously, this was only available to "enterprises
with the means and infrastructure to afford them."
-- The Phoenix System RP is Axxana's first product based on the company's
Enterprise Data Recording (EDR)
technology, which utilizes a "black box" disaster-proof data recorder to
enable 100% data recovery with zero data loss (RPO=0), over any distance,
for significantly less than the cost of traditional data mirroring
alternatives. The Phoenix System RP complements the asynchronous
replication solution offered by EMC's RecoverPoint.
-- The Axxana Phoenix System RP is available now through EMC Select, a program which helps customers easily acquire
components that comprise an information infrastructure.
Supporting Quotes:
-- TechTarget Judge:
"I would hate to have to rely on cell infrastructure to move too much
cached data in a DR event," one of our judges said. "Still, there is no
magic solution to this problem and this is the most interesting idea as a
solution."
-- Eli Efrat, CEO,
Axxana:
"It's a significant honor to have our first product recognized as a silver
medalist by TechTarget's Storage Media Group and its panel of judges. This
award is yet another validation of Axxana's Enterprise Data Recording
technology, and our innovative approach to disaster recovery."
