EcoStor^TM and Data-In-Place Migration

Our latest generation R/Evolution technology presents a true and unique move towards Green Storage through completely eliminating the need for cache backup batteries, saving the environment and also reducing service costs for the end user. In addition our battery-free cache design provides a permanent backup of unwritten cache data in the event of a power failure unlike traditional battery based designs, which typically hold data for up to 72 hours assuming a fully charged battery.

Both our latest generation 2000 and 5000 series storage array's support battery-free cache backup which is part of our ongoing EcoStor Green Storage initiative. EcoStor will deliver a series of energy saving and environmentally responsible technologies such as drive spin-down and our unique Data-In-Place Migration which maximizes the life-cycle of your customers investment in storage technology.
