SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 23, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GOGOBOX is a web space and service provider that grants each registered user a free 100GB web BOX (space) in which he or she may start blog communities or share files. And for those who need unlimited space, they can pay for advanced membership that gives them high quality, quick download service from GOGOBOX. To keep this vast number of members connected 24x7x365, GOGOBOX chose Infortrend's high speed, high capacity, cost-effective storage solution equipped with fault-tolerant capability to satisfy the various application needs as well as grow along with the development of GOGOBOX services.
Capacity, availability, and performance were three key concerns that GOGOBOX parent-company NextLink considered when evaluating different brands of storage systems. In addition to providing abundant capacity, the ideal solution had to deliver enterprise-level bandwidth, data transfer speed and availability in order to allow over two million people to simultaneously transfer data and upload or download files at any time. NextLink found the answer to their challenge in Infortrend's EonStor A16F-G2430 RAID array.
"To realize our commitment to providing premium web service on GOGOBOX, a robust storage solution is indispensable. After six weeks of testing, we chose Infortrend's EonStor arrays because of their impressive high performance, ample capacity and fault-tolerant capability," said Chen Hao Huang, Technical Director at NextLink Technology. "Our user experience proves that we made the right decision. GOGOBOX has now integrated over 30 A16F-G2430 subsystems and will purchase more Infortrend subsystems in the near future."
"Infortrend's Fibre-host arrays feature 4G Fibre Channel interfaces to provide a fast connection between the host and the file servers. Data protection functionality allows the storage system to run 24x 7 x 365 without the threat of a shutdown or data loss," said David Tsai, sales director of SilverShine Technology Inc, the storage distributor for the project. "Not only are the subsystems easy to set up and manage, but the 24x7 technical support and the three-year product warranty help GOGOBOX attain their goal of non-stop service."
