iQ2280 – Industry’s First All-in-One 4Gb FC-SATA II
Eases Support Issues For Linux Users

Newbury Park, CA - February 7, 2006 - iQstor Networks, Inc., a leading developer of intelligent and integrated Storage Area Network (SAN) solutions, announced today that they will demonstrate their new iQ2280 4Gb Fibre Channel (FC) to Serial ATA II (SATA II) storage platform at the Southern California Linux Expo, February 11–12, 2006, at the Radisson Hotel Los Angeles Airport in booth #31.

"The iQ2280 directly addresses the pre and post sales product installation and support issues that have continued to plague Linux users for quite some time," said Jason Lo, president and CEO of iQstor Networks. "The iQ2280 distances itself away from overly complex systems by having a highly robust, flexible and rich feature set that is designed from the ground up to meet the rigors of mission critical applications while being extremely easy-to-install and easy-to-manage. Moreover, it integrates proven enterprise-level features with cost-effective SATA II disk drive technology providing the Linux community with investment protection, cost-effectiveness and high availability for small and large businesses alike."

The iQ2280 Storage System, housed in a 19" 3U rack mountable enclosure, supports up to 15 SATA II disk drives providing 7.5TB of storage capacity using 500 GB drives and touts a 3 Gb/s disk data transfer rate. To ease support issues while ensuring constant data protection and delivery, all key internal components are hot-swappable and redundant. The storage platform features dual active-active storage controllers with transparent fail-over, 4 x 4Gb/s FC host ports, and RAID 0, 1, 1+0, 3, 5, 50 and 6. Further, as storage management requirements evolve, users have the option of enabling the iQ2280’s enhanced data services via an embedded wizard-based configuration and management GUI that gives instant access to the optional embedded data services including storage virtualization, snapshot, mirroring, remote replication, storage provisioning and automated capacity growth. The storage platform also supports Native Command Queuing (NCQ).
