From a data services perspective the IceSTORM is surprisingly ready to compete with the major name brand providers of unified storage. It has the ability to pool and tier storage based on drive type; for example, logs can be placed on SSD, databases on high performance SAS and file shares on SATA. The SSD tier can also be used as a cache, so that active data will automatically be served from solid state. And, the system provides extensive data protection capabilities including eight types of RAID, data replication, data integrity checking and snapshots.
One of its more unique capabilities is to attach to other storage systems and use them as pools of disks. With this feature companies going through a storage refresh can connect to the IceWEB unit and allow it to repurpose their current storage system as a replication or backup target. Nothing is better than getting a few more years from your old technology.
While technology assessments of Storage Switzerland, LLC are neutral, we do receive compensation from IT solutions vendors, integrators, and users of those solutions. However, we accept no compensation from any company until we have properly vetted a technology.
The methodology used to vet these technologies has been proven successful in the real world and is supported by a track record of over 90% accuracy in technology selections over the last seven years. Our methodology includes examining a product through briefings, testing and discussions with end users.
Once a technology concept or specific product makes it through our process successfully, we will endorse it, sometimes passionately, through articles, public events and product reviews.
