IceWEB's Unified Data Storage: "A Must-Have for the Cloud"

STERLING, Va., Jan. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- IceWEB, Inc.™ (OTCBB: IWEB), www.IceWEB.com, a leading provider of Unified Data Storage for cloud and virtual environments, was named in a predictive analysis entitled, "Unified Storage: A Must-Have for the Cloud," by independent industry expert Arthur Cole, IT Business Edge.

Mr. Cole cites a notion he credits to analyst Greg Schultz, portraying unified storage as the flip side of the cloud computing coin, providing the support infrastructure necessary to realize the true benefits of the cloud.

"Storage remains one of the primary applications for most cloud deployments these days, which by their nature encompass a diverse set of resources and configurations," Mr. Cole said.  "Along with virtualization, unified storage should be a high priority for enterprises looking to extend their footprint onto internal or external could infrastructure."

Named "Best in Class" for replication by independent test lab analysts at DCIG, IceWEB's unified data storage arrays enable cloud and virtualized environments to standardize on a single, unified platform for both block and file data, while simultaneously leveraging thin provisioning to get the most out of deployed storage capacity throughout the data center.  Designed to be extremely affordable to cost-sensitive small- to mid-size organizations, IceWEB's unified data storage arrays provide enterprise-class features and performance at a price point suitable to any IT budget.
