IceWEB Hybrid Array Technology Accelerates Input/Output Operations on All IceWEB Unified Storage Platforms
STERLING, Va., Aug. 31, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- IceWEB, Inc.(TM) (OTCBB: IWEB), http://www.IceWEB.com, a leading provider of Unified Data Storage and building blocks for cloud storage networks, announced today that the entire IceWEB product line of Unified Storage Platforms now ship with Hybrid Array technology(TM) (HAT).
This technology creates another layer of cache between the ARC (Adaptive Replacement Cache) and the hard disk drives. Called L2ARC (Second Level Adaptive Replacement Cache), it contains data that was in the ARC but hasn't been accessed in a quantified period of time. When a request for data comes in, it looks first in the ARC. If the Data is not located in the ARC, instead of going to the slow-moving, spinning hard-disk drives, the request is automatically forwarded to the faster L2ARC layer.
In addition, all IceWEB Hybrid Storage Platforms feature ZIL (ZFS Intent Cache), a write cache that uses Solid State Drives (SSD) to log calls for data to be written to the hard disks. This allows the writes to be cached, flushed together and then written synchronously which is much faster than slow-performing random writes.
"We're seeing a significant demand increase for ever-faster IOPS (Input/Output Operations per Second)," said Ed Kraus, VP IceWEB Operations. "Our Hybrid Storage models with SSD dramatically increases IOPS compared to hard disk systems. And, our L2ARC and ZIL Hybrid Array Technologies are major reasons why IceWEB Unified Storage Platforms are ideal for any high-performance, I/O intensive applications."
All IceWEB Unified Storage Platforms are available through the Company's exclusive value-added distributor Promark Technology (800-634-0255). Promark markets IceWEB products throughout the United States through its nationwide network of 1,200 channel partners. For more information, please visit http://www.promarktech.com.
