IceWeb Awarded Significant Iplicity Storage Contract by Federal Agency

Posted on: Wednesday, 4 November 2009, 09:28 CST

STERLING, Va., Nov. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- IceWEB, Inc.(TM) (OTC Bulletin Board: IWEB) , www.IceWEB.com, announced today that the Company has been awarded a significant contract by a Federal Agency to provide its Iplicity Unified Storage Platform to support a large Unix environment. The initial award is for a storage area network providing more than 100 terabytes of disk capacity, and will enable the Agency to capture and archive critical log data.

"Iplicity was chosen for this contract because of its ease of use, high performance, and advanced data replication capabilities," said Tim McNamee, VP of Federal Channels. "The system will provide both fibre channel attached host and NFS NAS (network attached storage) capabilities to the Agency. This initial deployment has the potential to grow in size to a petabyte (1000 terabytes) of storage in the short-term."

"The performance, management features and pricing of the Iplicity platform made it a compelling and cost effective solution for this customer," said Gary Dunham, SVP of Product Development and Engineering for IceWEB. "In the case of this Federal Agency, it made perfect sense to augment their existing storage infrastructure with Iplicity. The feature sets built into Iplicity, all of which were critical to this agency, would have cost them more than our entire solution were they to have purchased them from their legacy storage vendor."
