NEC Corporation of America (NEC), a leading provider and integrator of advanced communications, networking and IT solutions, today announced HYDRAstor HS3-210, the latest addition to its HYDRAstor product line, designed to satisfy the data backup, archive and long-term storage needs of small- to mid-sized business (SMB) and remote or branch offices.

NEC's new lower-capacity HYDRAstor configurations are ideal for organizations with high secondary data growth and limited budgets, but are still looking to take advantage of the long-term efficiencies and advanced resiliency of HYDRAstor's capacity-optimized storage platform. As businesses grow, NEC offers capacity on-demand capability, enabling licensing of additional capacity without adding any components to the existing system.

"The new HYDRAstor offering delivers advanced enterprise-class functionality to smaller environments," said Gideon Senderov, director of product management and technical marking, Advanced Storage Products Division, NEC Corporation of America. "With the latest HYDRAstor HS3-210, NEC offers an ideal capacity-optimized storage solution for the channel and mid-market enterprise while maintaining full compatibility with the HYDRAstor grid storage platform for large enterprises."

The new HYDRAstor HS3-210 shares a common code base with the larger HS8-2000 grid-based solution so that customers with SMB and remote data center needs receive enterprise-class features, including:

  • DataRedux™ technology deduplicates and compresses data inline within incoming data streams to significantly reduce storage capacity requirements with linear performance scalability, reducing storage capacity requirements by 95 percent or more.
  • Distributed Resilient Data™ (DRD) technology with customizable resiliency levels for different applications and file systems delivers 150 percent greater data resiliency than RAID-6 with lower storage capacity overhead, no idle spare drives, faster reconstruction and optimized performance for normal I/O.
  • Snapshot technology, now included with all HYDRAstor products including the HS3-210, delivers instant file system copy capability for primary storage applications and extended data protection policies.
  • RepliGrid™ (Option) supports disaster recovery requirements when data needs to be sent and stored at an offsite location allowing multiple independent grid and single-node systems to share information with one another via WAN-optimized asynchronous replication.
  • HYDRAlock™ (Option) ensures the authenticity of critical data while maintaining the chain of custody for regulated business environments.
  • Optimized Copy (Option) for automated WAN-optimized copy services for Symantec NetBackup through OpenStorage (OST).

HYDRAstor HS3-210 is available for ordering today and will begin shipping June 29, 2010.
