SANRAD: V-Switch 3000 Placed in Networking Equipment Category

Placed Just Behind Storage Giants CNT and Cisco Systems

(17.01.04) - SANRAD Incorporated, specialist in developing and delivering iSCSI SAN solutions, received a "Bronze designation" for its "V-Switch 3000" in the networking equipment category of the second annual "Products of the Year" awards presented by the editors of TechTarget's Storage magazine and SearchStorage.com.

The "Products of the Year" awards are selected by a panel of storage experts, judging storage products introduced and shipped in 2003. Judges include the editors of TechTarget's Storage magazine and SearchStorage.com, a select group of storage readers and independent storage analysts. Winners were selected based on the criteria of innovation, performance, ease of integration into existing environments, ease of use and manageability, functionality and value. SANRAD earned a bronze award, placing just behind storage giants CNT (silver) and Cisco Systems Inc. (gold).

"While we have what we believe to be a gold-medal performer in the V-Switch 3000, we are honored to make the list of the 'Products of the Year' awards from TechTarget's Storage and SearchStorage.com," said Uli Gal-Oz, SANRAD CEO. "As they say in real estate, it's all about location, location, location, and placing behind such recognized leaders as Cisco and CNT makes for a pretty good lineup."

The iSCSI V-Switch 3000 delivers IP Data Center capabilities to mid-range applications by combining the functionality of a multi-protocol switch, storage virtualization engine, storage router and FC, SCSI, and FC fabric bridge into a single integrated solution. With its intelligent storage routing and high availability functionality, SANRAD's V-Switch allows organizations to build robust and high performance IP SANs that include security, multi-pathing and data replication ensuring 24/7 access to storage and data resources at a fraction of the cost of traditional solutions.
