Data Storage Technology

There is little question that responsible IT management begins with the discipline of data protection, retention and restore. In the unexpected event of system or storage equipment failure the ability to restore lost data is invaluable. In 2004 ProStor Systems, Inc invented RDX (Removable Disk Technology), a disk-based storage technology designed to protect and archive data with significant benefits.

Market Analysis

A recently released IDC Market Analysis report entitled, "Worldwide Removable Hard Disk Drive 2008-2012 Forecast and Analysis" reports that removable disk storage solutions, including RDX-based storage systems, are gaining significant momentum. The report estimates that revenue from removable disk solutions for data backup will grow 1,400 percent from 2008 to 2012.

Advantage

A significant advantage of using disk storage solutions, including RDX, for data protection, retention and restore, is that it is the same technology used for primary storage and therefore carries those same benefits. Among the benefits of using disk storage are:

 
  • Highly scalable
  • Affordable
  • Fast

  
  • Offers random access
  • Attractive price per capacity
  • 30+ years shelf life
