This initial order will be deployed in the current quarter and will feature our newly released 5000HP series SSD drive configuration.

"The IceWEB 5000 has been configured using SSD technology to meet the high performance requirements for this application. The IceWEB 5000 platform has the unique ability to utilize Solid State Disk drives to increase read write cache, manage log data and/or to build high performance data volumes, which will provide an energy efficient, lightning fast end customer experience," said Tim McNamee, IceWEB Federal Channel Manager. "The 5000 has been engineered to provide managed storage at a price that won't break the bank.
