(November 13, 2000)
Las Vegas, NV - DISC®, Inc. (NASDAQ: DCSR), a leading manufacturer
of nearline storage solutions, will demonstrate their DISCSTOR/naS, Network-Attached
Storage (NAS) Server in the DVD-RAM Pavilion at Fall COMDEX this week.
The DISCSTOR/naS network attached storage device allows network managers
to seamlessly attach additional storage capacity to networks that improve
data availability for users while delivering reliable and scalable storage
solutions for mission-critical applications.
DISCSTOR/naS is fully scalable for departmental, workgroup and enterprise
networks and features concurrent Network File System (NFS) and Common
Internet File System (CIFS) support over TCP/IP, simple web browser-based
administration and simultaneous UNIX and Windows file sharing and offers
both local and network backup, providing continued network data access
in the event of primary server downtime.
During the week-long convention, DISC will demonstrate the servers' secure,
easy-to-use web browser-based Graphical User Interface (GUI), automated
data and file migration and high performance. In addition, the storage
server also offers users as many as four internal upgradable cache drives
and built in I/O ports for on-the-fly system debug, diagnostics and status
checks.
"With its immense capacity for storage and ability to support DVD,
CD and MO storage technologies, DISCSTOR/naS provides exceptional versatility
and flexibility," said Bob Riland, DISC Vice President of sales and
marketing. "The server's multiple platform operating system, file
sharing and migration capabilities along with easy to use web browser-based
administration enable network administrators to economically maximize
data availability."
Supporting storage capacities from 49GBs to over 9TBs, DISCSTOR/naS is
capable of increasing data throughput by offloading network data storage
from the primary file server, and reducing overall network traffic through
decentralized data storage management. DISC's entire line of storage solutions
provides users with the high performance, reliability and quality. DISCSTOR/naS
supports from 20 to 1050 DVD, CD or MO libraries and cross platform compatibility
including Windows NT/2000/98 and UNIX. Shipping in December, the DISCSTOR/naS
will be available through resellers, distributors, and OEM's worldwide
with an expected list price starting at $6,995.
