Permabit Joins NetApp Alliance Partner Program

Permabit Technology Corporation, in data efficiency technology, announced membership in the NetApp Alliance Partner Program.

As a member of NetApp’s partner program, Permabit will collaborate with NetApp to deliver SANblox with NetApp E-Series storage systems. Customers will have the ability to leap forward in cost, capacity and performance by adding inline data efficiency capabilities to new or existing FC SANs.

The SANblox appliance, which leverages Permabit’s Albireo VDO and HIO/s compression software, provides ‘plug and save’ data reduction across a wide range of applications, including mixed virtual server, VDI, database (OLTP and data warehouse) and big data environments.

Customers that leverage SANblox will have the resources to increase the capacity of their storage systems by 6X, reduce cost up to 85% and increase performance up to 400%.

“We are pleased to collaborate with NetApp to bring SANblox to their customers,” said Tom Cook, Permabit CEO. “More performance, higher effective capacity, and lower effective cost are a winning combination for E-Series storage buyers.“
