KOM Networks i-Gateway Uses any iSCSI SAN to Create Higher Performance, Tamperproof Storage at Half the Cost of EMC Centera

Enterprises Learn How to Leverage Infrastructure for Faster and Safer Storage

Ottawa, ON Canada – September 7, 2011

KOM Software, Inc., provider of storage management solutions for secure archiving, compliant data protection and retention, today announced the KOMpliance i-Series SAN Gateway. The i-Gateway allows companies to add a secure universal archive repository using their iSCSI SAN storage. This new solution will reduce expenses, complexity, and admin costs associated with iSCSI storage while increasing compliance levels and archived data protection.

York Hospital in York, Maine recently replaced their EMC Centera with a KOMpliance i-Series Gateway to archive McKesson PACS (Picture Archive and Communications System) addressing HIPAA compliance and disaster recovery. “The total cost of a KOMpliance archive storage solution combined with EqualLogic storage, saves us approximately $80,000 per year,” commented Kevin Foster, network administrator at York Hospital. “And that includes three years of 24x7 support.”

NMB Insurance Brokers in London deployed the KOMpliance i-Series Gateway with their iSCSI SAN to provide compliant long-term archive for Open Text eDOCS. “KOMpliance has helped us to easily fulfill our compliance requirements and limit our liability. Knowing our data is secure and our technology is sustainable, allows us to control our future costs and maximize our return on investment,” stated Simon Edwards, system manager at NMB.

KOMpliance i-Series Archive Gateway is a cost-effective, out-of-the-box solution, combining high-end performance and advanced NAS features, while delivering “eWORM” tamperproof secure archives using iSCSI SAN storage resources. “KOMpliance uses open standards and protocols and nonproprietary connectors, so businesses can leverage their existing investment in data storage equipment,” said Kamel Shaath, CTO of KOM Networks. “Our mission is to offer customers easy to use secure solutions using their storage of choice without the typical vendor lock-down associated with competing proprietary offerings.”
