Maxtor Storage Servers Certified On Atempo's Time Navigator

This Atempo certification assures enterprise customers that the Time Navigator software platform and the MaxAttach products are fully tested to install easily and operate seamlessly with one another.

"With the certification of cost-effective, highly-interoperable NAS devices such as the MaxAttach NAS family, Atempo recognized the opportunity to provide small/medium-sized businesses and corporate departments with a powerful and scalable backup and restore software previously found only in more costly solutions," said David Swafford, vice president, Strategic Alliances at Atempo. "As a leading vendor to offer advanced, disk-to-disk backup capability, we're building on our expertise in enterprise data protection to be first to market with a solution that can be easily deployed into customer environments using small/medium storage servers to high-end enterprise servers."

"Maxtor is very pleased that Atempo has chosen the MaxAttach Storage Servers as an important platform on which to qualify their software," said Wayne Arvidson, director of marketing and communications at Maxtor. "Backup-to-disk is clearly an essential component of a robust IT infrastructure and will become more important as vendors such as Atempo and Maxtor work together to deliver tightly integrated solutions with more and more capabilities and performance."

The MaxAttach family includes the NAS 4100, NAS 4300 and NAS 6000 storage servers. With pre-loaded software and hardware configurations, they provide centralized management through a familiar, easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI). Key features include network status reporting, automatic e-mail alerts and multiple RAID configurations including RAID 0, 1, and 5 data redundancy for data protection. Multiple Ethernet ports, Gigabit Ethernet, a journaling file system and integrated UPS support ensure high performance, system availability and fault tolerance.
