Atrato’s Design for Three-Year Zero Maintenance Selected a Winner

Westminster, Colo. – April 23, 2008 – Atrato, Inc., a leading provider of high-volume on-demand storage for the high performance computing (HPC), digital entertainment and web sectors today announced that Info Security Products Guide, a Silicon Valley Communications publication and the world’s leading publication on security-related products and technologies has named Atrato’s Design for Three Year Zero Maintenance, a winner of the 2008 Tomorrow’s Technology Today Award.
This prestigious award recognizes security vendors with advanced, ground-breaking network security solutions that are helping to set the bar higher for others in all areas of information security. The Atrato platform was selected by the editorial group of Info Security Products Guide based on technologies that are making the most positive impact on security in today’s highly sophisticated and blended attacks environment.
Given the cost of stocking replacement disk drives and operator monitoring, Atrato Inc. has built spare capacity into its SAID (self-maintaining array of identical disks) architecture for fully automatic fail-in-place recovery requiring no monitoring and minimizing data loss exposure. Atrato’s approach to storage and data delivery eliminates drive tending and minimizes risk of data loss for a three-year operational lifetime. This design provides superior MTTDL (mean time to data loss), high service availability, lower cost of ownership, minimal spare capacity requirements and enables deployments with mostly unattended operation.
Atrato’s fail-in-place design is a fundamental feature of the Atrato system that provides unmatched actuator density, IO performance, storage density, and zero maintenance. Users do not have to spend a lot of time caring for storage systems. The Atrato system has fail-in-place throughout and takes maximum advantage of this alternative to FRU (field replaceable units). The only FRUs on the Atrato system are fans and cables and both can be over-provisioned so no FRU servicing is immediately critical. Given the relentless increase in drive capacity, very few users operate drives longer than three years and simple end-of-life migration from one Atrato SAID to another makes upgrade planning simple.

“Increased security awareness is helping organizations take a proactive approach to securing their digital resources,” says Rake Narang, editor-in-chief, Info Security Products Guide. “Probably nothing differentiates any product or solution more than the superior technologies that make them suitable for today’s needs while pro-actively being ready for tomorrow too.”
“Info Security Products Guide’s recognition of Atrato’s SAID and access capabilities further validates our best-in-class design,” said Dan McCormick, CEO, Atrato, Inc. “With millions of testing hours we have put our products through rigorous review in order to advance storage performance and reliability for data-rich, data-intensive applications where storage I/O bottlenecks impede overall system performance, security or scalability. By deploying Atrato, users will experience data access, security and delivery unmatched by other solutions on the market.”
