IceWEB Scores Major PR Win

IceWEB (News - Alert), a global provider of Unified Data Storage systems for both cloud and virtual environments, extended its lead today by performing exceptionally well in a report by “Storage Switzerland.”

The report on mid-sized enterprise storage and virtualization solution providers spoke highly of IceWEB's feature set and price point. George Crump, storage veteran and industry expert, had this to say, “What impressed us most about the universal unified storage solutions from IceWEB was the extensive feature set, especially given their extremely competitive prices (IceWEB claims to be 30 percent lower than the street price of their name brand competitors). With the release of IceSTORM, the company is proving that its products are more than just 'me too' storage systems and is certainly worthy of consideration for any sized data center looking to reduce its storage management burden.”

Growth in the data storage and virtualization market has been rapid and sustained over the last eight quarters. Some analysts are beginning to use the term “bubble” in reference to the industry which is becoming more and more competitive every day. IceWEB has not paid much concern to the predictions of doomsday. It is continuing to pump out solutions that are feature-rich at a price that none of their competitors can touch.

This winning formula should result in continued growth until, as happens so often in the technology space, innovation renders the entire industry obsolete. But there is no sign that is likely to happen anytime soon. Secure data storage is a major need throughout the US markets for companies in all industries. Companies like IceWEB ought to experience continued growth until that is no longer true.

IceWEB's latest offering, IceSTORM, is remarkable in its readiness to compete against solutions with more history and with larger organizational backing. 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 (News - Alert) and shared files on SATA. The creativity built into IceSTORM demonstrates why IceWEB leads the industry.
