Atrato Wins Network Products Guide
Reader Trust Award for Best in Access
Westminster, Colorado – August 7, 2008 – Atrato, Inc., a leading provider of high-volume on-demand storage for the high throughput computing, digital entertainment and web sectors, announced today that Network Products Guide, a world-leading, Silicon Valley Communications publication about technologies and solutions, has named the Atrato Velocity1000 (V1000) high density storage system a winner of the 2008 Best Products and Services Award. This respected annual award honors products and services that represent the rapidly changing needs and interests of the end-users of technology worldwide. As part of the tech-industry’s leading global awards program, this year’s Best Products and Services were nominated from all over the world.
The prevalence of digital content has given rise to a generation of business that relies on storage, retention and timely retrieval of data. Companies are utilizing digital content to create new products and services, generate additional revenue streams, accelerate research and development, and improve effectiveness in the global market. As more and more businesses create and utilize digital content across all areas of business, the need to store, manage and access this information quickly and efficiently becomes a top priority.
The Atrato V1000 revolutionizes data access and storage by conquering I/O bottlenecks between storage and servers, opening the door to new applications and revenue opportunities for end users. The solution "changes the game" in a fundamental and powerful way by delivering massively parallel access to hundreds or even thousands of small form-factor disks at a fraction of the cost of current solutions.
The Atrato V1000 outperforms traditional systems by five to ten times, making it the fastest available storage system for any on-demand, high transaction application. The Atrato system integrates massively parallel disk drives into a compact, self-maintaining enclosure, offering space and power savings of up to 80% -- not to mention zero maintenance costs.
“Increased end-user awareness and ongoing advances in technology are helping shape better products and services,” says Rake Narang, editor-n-chief, Network Products Guide. “Atrato’s Velocity1000 is setting new standards in performance, data access density, security and availability.”
“These awards go to the best technology products every year, and we are honored that the Atrato V1000 has gained the Network Products Guide reader’s trust,” said Dan McCormick, co-founder and CEO of Atrato. “We are dedicated to meeting our customer’s needs in high availability, high access storage, and will continue our commitment to provide them with the best products and services available.”
