ADIC Africa, the black-owned multi-national vendor that provides industry-leading open systems data storage solutions in South Africa, has launched a major drive to help guarantee the affordability, availability and reliability of its mid-range tape libraries in the country.
ADIC Africa general manager Tony de Sousa says back-up and data storage management as an IT discipline is often under resourced or overlooked among small to medium sized organisations.
"Explosive growth in the volume of data being generated by companies in this sector is commonly addressed on a crisis management or ad-hoc basis that usually results in unproductive or difficult to manage investments in on-line storage capacity," he said.
Advising companies to pay more attention to managing data according to the well-established principles of information lifecycle management (ILM), de Sousa says ADIC's tape solutions provide unrivalled benefits in terms of lower cost, increased security and enhanced reliability when it comes to storing and managing data.
ADIC Africa, in partnership with IT distributor Comztek and a nationwide community of resellers, has launched a portfolio of three carefully selected and fully integrated tape solutions to enable mid-range companies and workgroups at an enterprise level to implement business-critical backup solutions that offer unrivalled value.
Aggressively priced against all competitors, all three ADIC products enjoy the unique advantage of free installation anywhere in South Africa by ADIC Africa's highly skilled team of engineers. The solutions are also backed by ADIC's three-year Fast Exchange warranty service. The portfolio on offer via the Comztek reseller network includes:
* FastStor 2U - An 8-tape cartridge autoloader that provides a week or more of unattended backup at an unbeatable price.
* Scalar 24 - A compact tape library that combines enterprise-class features and performance with entry-level affordability and ease of use.
* Scalar 100 - A mid-range tape library that offers a powerful combination of industry-leading density, trouble-free scalability, and advanced storage networking technology.
