Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) January 26, 2010 -- The RDX® Storage Alliance today announced its formation as a non-profit professional community dedicated to the open sharing of RDX Storage solutions and best practices contributed by customers and partners. Momentum grows as RDX removable disk shipments worldwide exceeded 600,000 cartridges at the end of 2009 representing over 100 Petabytes of storage. According to IDC, revenue from removable disk solutions is predicted to reach $427 million in 2013 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 38.1% from 2008 through 2013(1). The RDX Storage Alliance is comprised of customers, storage professionals, industry experts, RDX vendors and partners who are committed to sharing informative and engaging RDX solutions, best practices, and practical use-cases for companies to optimize and simplify data back-up, archive, compliance and disaster recovery while reducing associated costs.
“RDX units are a valuable storage asset – especially when fully integrated into a workgroup environment. Artists and content creators can share data from one station to another more freely and economically than through regular network situations. The practical notion of having artists move large projects and their source data from one workstation to another outside the network model may not be new, but the larger capacities are new; we use an RDX dock with two 500GB capacity cartridges,” said Ed Heede, partner at Filmworks/FX in Santa Monica, CA.
Ed Heede continued, “Portable media transfers such as those offered by RDX Technology certainly add flexibility to the work pipeline. The RDX option can be applied to take projects on set, the studio or virtually any location thus making task location independent for a variety of uses, for anything from editorial to visual effects and art direction. An RDX option is useful for film task loads ranging across A list cinema and pure animation to independent live action films such as those undertaken by Filmworks/FX via projects such as Peacock, the Shrink, Manure, Pete Small and a host of others.”
OEM partners of the RDX storage technology include industry leaders Dell, Fujitsu, Hitachi, HP, IBM, Imation, Maxell, NEC, ProStor Systems, and Tandberg Data.RDX removable disks are designed for portability and longevity, the rugged RDX cartridges are engineered to be durable so you can safely transport off-site while also providing the shelf life required for archival requirements
“RDX removable disk products are ideally suited as a scalable archive and retention solution for document and image management and compliance,” said Steve Georgis, RDX general manager ProStor Systems. “RDX removable disk cartridges have high capacities of 640GB today and will continue to scale doubling in capacity approximately every 15 months. Purpose built RDX systems, such as ProStor InfiniVault can contain one hundred or more cartridges for archive and retain hundreds of terabytes of data.”
“The RDX Storage Alliance is a non-profit, vendor neutral professional community where RDX professionals may openly share knowledge and content, and learn how RDX solutions simplify data backup, archive, and recovery,” said Karl Chen, Executive Director, RDX Storage Alliance. “In addition, the community offers practical and engaging decision making tools such as YouTube videos, customer use-cases, webinars, blogs and industry whitepapers.”
RDX removable disk technology products provide plug and play installation and appear to computers as a standard disk drive removable media device providing easy drag and drop control and instant data retrieval.
