EMediaLive.com: StorageQuest Selects Microboards Technology as Exclusive Distributor

Microboards has announced that it has been selected by StorageQuest, Inc as its exclusive US distributor for its Multi-services Storage Manager line of network storage management products. The MSM was developed to address the needs of the data archival arena by providing a plug-and-play, appliance-based, network-attached manager for media libraries. The MSM series of network-attached management devices is based on Storage Quest's "Any-to-Any Architecture," a storage architecture that allows any client to access any storage resource regardless of media type, vendor, or operating system platform.

The MSM provides improved long-term stability and accessibility by using widely accepted media (including optical media, such as DVD-R and Magneto Optical) and industry standard data formats. Because the MSM was designed with transparency in mind, it helps organizations leverage other investments in storage and IT infrastructure, the manufacturer claims. It integrates with existing systems and, when connected to an existing corporate network, it appears as one or more storage pools that are immediately available to any application or network user.
