xVault Unified Storage Platform Introduced by Seneca

Seneca Data Distributors Inc., manufacturer and distributor of technology solutions, announces the availability of the xVault Unified Storage Platform (USP).

The xVault USP is a family of appliances that function as both NAS and SAN systems, designed and optimized to handle both block and file data types, and ready for deployment out of the box.

xVault USP offers a combination of features including:

• xVault OOBE Plus – All systems are optimized with custom settings and services that would take 3 or more hours to configure onsite, saving time and making deployment out of the box a snap
• xVault Rapid Recovery – Each system ships with a custom quick restore image to recover the unit in case of failure
• xVault Feature Complete – The xVault USP is simplified by eliminating the costs and maintenance fees associated with proprietary and complex option/bundle packages that other vendors routinely use to pad margins. It offers additional features for enhanced out of the box value without hidden charges such as drive encryption, snapshots, remote replication, local mirroring

"The xVault Unified Storage Platform eliminates the difficult decision customers once had to make between completeness of product, performance and price," said Chuck Orcutt, director of Product Management, at Seneca. "Our performance optimized storage line gives customers the better choice of an out of the box ready to deploy system that doesn’t up-charge for functionality that should come standard."

The platform comes in 3 separate models:

• XV-UM2U35: 2U rackmount chassis with 12 drives and no expansion capability
• XV-UM3U35: 3U rackmount chassis with 16 drives and 80 drives for external expansion
• XV-UM4U35: 4U rackmount chassis with 24 drives and 120 drives for external expansion
