Gary Dunham, SVP of Product Development and Engineering for IceWEB said, “Iplicity represents the next generation of data storage infrastructure.  For years, both SMB and Enterprise users of storage products from older legacy vendors have endured painful and expensive upgrades, grossly inflated hard drive prices, overpriced features and add-on costs for simple capabilities like remote replication, and been locked in to architectures chosen back when there were, well, quite frankly, many fewer choices."

He further said that the solution would allow end clients to utilize available space on older, less high performing, more expensive legacy storage.  This capability allows users with less flexible storage deployments to manage space they have available in their existing environment completely, as if it were directly attached to the Iplicity network storage.

Iplicity features unlimited snapshots, local and remote (push and pull) system, volume and folder replication, bandwidth consumption management, capabilities to integrate with VMWare and Citrix Xen, integrated virus scanning, the capability to convert this older storage into resources.
