FINANCIAL BUREAU OF ILI PREFECTURE AT CHINA XINJIANG ACHIEVES 85% BETTER DATA ACCESS EFFICIENCY WITH INFORTREND STORAGE
Supports Mission-Critical Database with Exceptional Price/Performance and Reliability

Beijing, China, November 17, 2009 – Infortrend®, the networked storage expert, (Public TPE: 2495) today announced that its high-performance, high-availability EonStor storage has been adopted by the financial bureau of ILI Prefecture at China's Xinjiang region to support the business-critical applications of financial data review. With a proven record of throughput power and dependability, the EonStor systems significantly improve IT efficiency by facilitating 85% faster data access while ensuring continuous operation.

The financial bureau of ILI Prefecture is responsible for making fiscal plans and regulatory frameworks to support a strong prefectural economy and deliver sustainable services to more than 4 million residents. During peak workloads, there are more than 300 users accessing its Oracle-based asset management database each day, generating about 0.5GB of data. When the amount and importance of financial data largely grew along with economic development, the financial bureau was challenged to replace its old storage systems with new ones capable of better performance, higher reliability and larger capacity. At competitive price points, Infortrend EonStor S16F-R1430 provides an ideal solution. Coming with four 4Gb/s Fibre Channel (FC) host ports, the S16F delivers outstanding throughput power to reduce the access time of a record from 20 to 3 seconds and ensure smooth, no-delay operations even during peak workloads. To achieve the high data availability required by mission-critical applications, the EonStor systems are equipped with redundant hardware components to eliminate single-point-of-failure and hardware RAID to protect data against drive failure. Through expansion enclosures, a single 16-drive EonStor system can be incrementally expanded to accommodate growing data with up to 64 SAS or SATA drives. The "pay as you grow" flexibility makes the S16F a long-term investment driving significant savings. Besides helping the financial bureau of ILI Prefecture to meet its spiraling data demands with restrained budgets, the EonStor S16F moreover provides easy management and wide platform support to make the storage upgrade a quick and palatable experience.

"The benefits Infortrend storage brings to our information system are evident," said Jiang-Ning Ku, IT manager at the financial bureau of ILI Prefecture. "It greatly improves our work efficiency, provides necessary capacity and soundly protects our data. We are satisfied that we can find a solution to our high storage requirements in such a competitively-priced storage system."
