KASHYA TO SHOW LONG DISTANCE REPLICATION, RECOVERY SOLUTION

Kashya, a leader in high-performance, cost-effective business continuity solutions, will exhibit the first network-based data replication solution using Brocade's SilkWorm Fabric Application Platform Oct. 27-30 at Storage Networking World at the JW Marriott Grande Lakes Resort in Orlando, Fla.

Kashya's KBX4000, a breakthrough data protection appliance that dramatically lowers the TCO of enterprise storage replication by applying a combination of unique technologies to eliminate the distance, cost, performance and management limitations of traditional data protection products, is uniquely designed to overcome the technical challenges and excessive cost burden enterprises face when seeking to replicate and recover data across remote locations and in heterogeneous storage environments. Based on its innovative Kashya Data Protection Appliance architecture, Kashya's approach makes possible reliable and effective "out of region" data replication without the high bandwidth costs, performance and management limitations inherent in mainstream solutions available today.

The Kashya KBX4000 employs intelligent technologies that deliver unprecedented reduction in bandwidth requirements, enabling the system to provide the best possible level of protection for the available bandwidth, while dramatically reducing WAN costs, particularly over long distances. Data reduction is achieved through application-aware and storage-aware algorithmic techniques that conserve bandwidth to the extent not possible with traditional compression technologies.
