In addition to improving data integrity with hardware mirroring, I-O DATA's LANDISK HDLM-GWIN series leverages Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (commonly used as a platform for accounting and sales packages), providing small- and medium-sized companies with efficient and reliable storage solutions.
I-O DATA and Microsoft will cooperate in promoting the LANDISK HDLM-GWIN series, with planned shipments of approximate 5,000 units per year. In cooperation with Microsoft, I-O DATA will be participating in seminars in Japan including The Microsoft Conference 2006. In addition, we are planning to hold co-hosted seminars several times per year.
The LANDISK HDLM-GWIN series is a networked hard disk with a built-in hardware RAID controller in a compact body. Hot swapping is supported and Windows® Storage Server 2003 R2 Workgroup Edition is pre-installed. This product fully integrates with Windows® networks to manage and secure the storage environment while taking up very little space and conserving energy.
By mirroring data simultaneously on two hard disks, data can be restored easily if one hard disk should fail. Hot swapping is supported for hard disk changes while the power is on, enables the replacement of hard disks without shutting down. The series also provides high-speed gigabit Ethernet support (with a theoretical data transfer rate of 1,000 Mbps), which is fast becoming the de facto standard in the industry, and is suitable for fast storage and the transfer of large amounts of data.
