DataChorus, AREA ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS LAUNCH DATA STORAGE LINE

DataChorus announced the successful launch of its ClusStor line of storage appliances at the Storage World Conference and Exposition.

In addition, DataChorus announced the appointment of Area Electronics Systems, a leading value added distributor of storage servers and appliances, as its Master Distributor for the ClusStor product line.

The ClusStor line of products ranges from the SG Storage Gateway management server, which supports external RAID array devices, to the Edge desktop NAS appliance for remote offices/sites and small businesses.

ClusStor provides enterprise class features and functions in packages which can be scaled and targeted for small to medium enterprise customers. ClusStor products are highly affordable -- both in initial product cost as well in costs to deploy and manage.

"We are excited about the appointment of Area Electronic Systems as our Master Distributor," says Don Henry, vice president of sales and marketing and general manager of DataChorus US. "Area has an excellent track record and reputation for providing products and services to its resellers, is an extremely professional and responsive organization, and is highly respected in the storage market and community. Our relationship with Area will be a tremendous asset to DataChorus US in introducing and providing our solutions to the US storage market and reseller community."

Hao Zhang, director of storage products for Area Electronics Systems, stated, "Area is proud to become Master Distributor of DataChorus products. We have thoroughly evaluated and tested the ClusStor line of products, and believe that DataChorus has developed a superb data storage and protection solution set for small to medium enterprise customers. The combination of software feature/functionality and hardware performance that DataChorus offers will prove to be an excellent product offering for storage resellers to provide to their end customers."
