To All,
=20
Storage Magazine has awarded Pantera the coveted "Product of the Year" =
GOLD award in the disk and disk subsystem category!
=20
This first place finish is a huge achievement! All the NAS vendors were =
eligible, and NetApp, BlueArc, and Agami were in the final contention. =
ONStor prevailed, as the judges put, because it is "one of the most =
versatile enterprise NAS products we've seen."=20
=20
Congratulations on this terrific honor. Recognition such as this will =
absolutely drive revenue!

GOLD AWARD:
ONStor Pantera Series Clustered NAS
The Pantera clustered NAS system from ONStor Inc. has a trifecta of data =
protection benefits that's hard to beat: scalability, performance and =
interoperability. In sum, it's one of the most versatile enterprise NAS =
products we've seen.=20

Scalability is particularly crucial in storage, and the Pantera scales =
in two important dimensions. If it's capacity you need, Pantera supports =
up to 40PB using 146GB 15,000 rpm SAS hard drives for =
performance-sensitive applications or 500GB SATA drives for noncritical, =
cost-effective tasks. SAS and SATA drives are supported simultaneously, =
allowing for tiered storage in the same chassis. Each Pantera model also =
touts four Gigabit Ethernet ports and scales for performance through =
active-active n-way clustering; up to eight 300MB/sec filers can be =
combined to yield a total throughput of 2.4GB/sec (depending on selected =
models). As one judge puts it: "Nicely done scalability for a very =
reasonable pay-as-you grow approach."=20

The Pantera can configure storage as a single pool for optimum =
utilization, which means no more hunting for lost storage or migrating =
data to accommodate a storage upgrade. Advanced data protection =
features, such as the ability to perform up to 48 snapshots per file =
system, provide point-in-time copies. However, remote replication isn't =
standard and optional software will be needed to replicate data between =
remote Pantera systems.=20

Judges debated the Pantera's price-some call it reasonable, while others =
suggest the system was relatively expensive per gigabyte. Still, a solid =
suite of features and good execution makes ONStor's Pantera family a =
solid winner.
