InMage Systems Completes Testing Under The IBM System Storage Proven™ Program

 

Santa Clara, June 27, 2007 -- InMage Systems, Inc., the leading provider of business continuity and disaster recovery software for medium and large enterprises, today announced that its DR-Scout disaster recovery (DR) and continuous data protection (CDP) software solution has successfully completed interoperability testing with IBM’s System Storage products and has been confirmed as IBM System Storage Proven at the IBM Innovation Center in San Mateo, California. IBM System Storage products confirmed for use with DR-Scout are the IBM System Storage DS4000, IBM System Storage TS3200 Tape Library and IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller. The IBM System Storage Proven program builds on IBM’s already extensive interoperability efforts to develop and deliver products and solutions that work together with third party products.

The IBM System Storage Proven program supports the ability of independent hardware and software vendors to build high-quality solutions with the latest technology on leading storage platforms as well as reduce solution design time when multiple, tested building blocks have already been pre-tested.

"This program helps enhance the value and credibility of our DR-Scout solution to businesses considering an effective business continuance and disaster recovery implementation," said John Ferraro, President and CEO of InMage Systems. “Our participation in the program demonstrates that InMage and IBM are each focused on customer satisfaction by promoting greater interoperability while offering IT departments tightly coupled DR and CDP solutions that greatly streamline costs and management efficiencies."

About DR-Scout

InMage’s DR-Scout stands apart as a DR and continuous replication solution that enables medium and large enterprises to achieve instantaneous recovery of data with transactional integrity, ensuring the least disruption to business operations. DR-Scout differentiates itself by supporting multi-vendor storage arrays and servers, as well as its support for SAN, NAS, DAS and iSCSI block- and file-level replication. The recent release of DR-Scout 4.0 helps VMWare, Windows Exchange 2007 and Linux customers achieve both economic and operational benefits by reducing backup and recovery windows, complying with government regulations on data retention management, and offering significant investment protection with true 64-bit support in heterogeneous storage environments.

Designed to provide DR and CDP services at the block level, DR-Scout delivers proactive host and client level application consistency with one-to-one failover on a real time basis. DR-Scout delivers any-point in time recovery via block level CDP, near zero RPO (Recovery Point Objective) and RTO (Recovery Time Objective) and the ability to eliminate backup windows forever.

DR-Scout’s host offloaded architecture delivers extremely fast data protection and recovery by offloading the protection processing to a separate server. Further, its ability to adjust recovery points to any point in time and route them to production or test environments delivers unsurpassed data availability.

DR-Scout includes WAN optimization utilities, supporting block and file transfers across a network while enabling rapid, error-free data movement. In addition, bandwidth utilization can be adjusted based on the time of day. DR-Scout also accommodates WAN outages by queuing data changes until the connection is re-established. As enterprise workloads continue to expand, DR-Scout can be relied on to easily scale as the amount of data to be protected increases.
