TAIPEI, Taiwan, August 21, 2012–Infortrend®(Public TPE: 2495) today announced that Infortrend’s full line of storage solutions, including the ESVA, EonStor DS and EonNAS families now offer support for enterprise-class HGST 4TB hard disk drives.

Market research continues to show that SMBs and enterprises are still experiencing a huge explosion of data growth. Breakthrough advancements in technology and the increasing demand for large size data, such as full HD content have created massive storage requirements for businesses of all sizes. With this massive growth comes the inevitable challenge of effectively storing large amounts of data while still maintaining efficiency. To face this challenge and manage data information more efficiently, SMBs and enterprises need more scalable, cost-effective data storage capacity - and 4TB hard disk drive supported storage systems offer an ideal solution.

By working in close cooperation with industry-leading HDD vendors such as Hitachi GST, Infortrend is now among the first storage system vendors to offer support for 4TB drives - and thereby enable our customers to store more data in the same storage space.”

By leveraging our high-capacity 4TB Ultrastar drives, Infortrend is taking advantage of its strong position in the entry-level and mid-range storage markets, and is helping to ensure that more businesses will be able to enjoy capacity data storage without increasing their physical storage footprint.”
