MTI to Offer Axxana's Zero Data Loss Disaster Recovery Phoenix System(TM) RP in Europe
Axxana's System Compatible With EMC's RecoverPoint and Clariion
GODALMING, SURREY, UK and TEL AVIV, ISRAEL--(Marketwire - February 8, 2010) - Axxana, leading manufacturer of the
Enterprise Data Recording (EDR) technology-based solutions known as black
boxes for the enterprise, and MTI, the
leading international provider of consulting services and comprehensive
information infrastructure solutions for mid- to large-size organizations,
today announced that they have signed a partnership agreement to market the
Axxana Phoenix System™, which will also be showcased in the MTI
Solutions Centre established last year in the UK in conjunction with
EMC, VMware and Cisco.
The Axxana Phoenix
System is the first product on the market to enable zero data loss,
i.e. where the Recovery Point Objective (or RPO -- the point in time that
the restore goes back to) equals zero, over any geographical distance, for
significantly less than the cost of traditional synchronous data mirroring
alternatives. The Phoenix System complements the asynchronous replication
benefits offered by MTI with EMC's RecoverPoint, and enables organizations
to protect a synchronous copy of the data at the primary site in a
disaster-proof "black box" storage device designed to withstand extreme
conditions. Following a disaster or loss of communication with the primary
data center, the Axxana Phoenix System rapidly repatriates the data set
using a cellular broadband link, ensuring an exact copy; the recovered data
can then be reintegrated by EMC's RecoverPoint. Here the remote copy is an
exact mirror image of the data in the primary data center, thus fulfilling
Zero Data Loss (RPO=0) and Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) requirements over
any distance.
"By expanding its offering with the Phoenix System RP, MTI is now able to
offer prospective customers a game-changing disaster recovery solution,"
says Dan Hochberg, Axxana's Executive Vice President, Business Development
and Sales. "Over the years, MTI has established partnerships with the
industry's foremost data center technology and software providers in order
to offer its customers the very best in data center, storage, data
protection and management solutions. MTI is known to recognize ground
breaking technologies and therefore we are thrilled to be added to this
prestigious list."
Aad Dekkers, Chief Marketing Officer at MTI Europe, commented, "Axxana's
innovative EDR technology allows us to deliver on our commitment to provide
the best-of-breed solutions available today. We are excited to offer this
solution, as its features and enticing price point are an extremely
attractive proposition in today's economic climate. We are confident that
our customers will want to take a very close look at this exciting
alternative."
