| Hifn and Toyou Join Forces Hifn and Toyou announce that both parties have established a program for technical cooperation and innovative development. Additionally, Toyou has selected Hifn's Express DR cards for its hardware-advantaged compression technology. The cards will be deployed in Toyou's NetStor series of products. Toyou is the first Chinese storage vendor to integrate Hifn's Express DR cards, enabling Toyou to deliver a performance- and capacity-optimized Virtual Tape Library (VTL) solution. Over the past several years, VTL solutions have gained increasing market acceptance by providing unique advantages, such as the performance and reliability benefits of disk-based backup while enabling users to maintain their existing tape backup infrastructure. As the leader in China's storage market, Toyou developed a VTL solution to meet the growing needs for data security and backup. Meanwhile, China has seen exponential growth in enterprise data, as well as emerging requirements for new data center features such as higher backup capacity, data de-duplication, and instant recovery. Toyou is dedicated to developing and upgrading its products to address these new requirements. The combination of Toyou's NetStor VTL with Hifn's Express DR card for capacity optimization will enable enterprise customers to readily solve the backup storage problems they are combating. Leveraging Hifn's hardware-advantaged compression allows Toyou to improve the NetStor VTL appliance's backup speed, and effectively reduce the backup window and disk space required. Hifn's Express DR card on average provides a 2:1 compression advantage, effectively freeing up 50 percent more disk space and reducing time, energy and resource costs to manage the data. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Networking News :: home page |
