ECCS Announces That The Synchronix Storage Management System Has Been
Validated By Microsoft For Use With Servers Running Microsoft Windows
NT Server, Enterprise Edition 4.0.



TINTON FALLS, NJ. ECCS INC, today announced that the Synchronix Storage Management System has been validated by Microsoft for use on servers running Microsoft Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition 4.0.

Synchronix, a high-performance, highly scalable, continuously available, resilient storage solution is a full feature RAID (redundant array of independent disks) product family designed for use in Windows NT and UNIX mission critical environments. The failover capabilities of the Synchronix will complement the high availability features of Windows NT Server Enterprise Edition 4.0.

"Windows NT Server Enterprise Edition 4.0 is designed to deliver high availability and scalability for enterprise customers' mission critical servers," said Enzo Schiano, Group Product Manager for Windows NT Server at Microsoft. "Microsoft is pleased that ECCS is complementing the new Enterprise Edition of Windows NT Server with the high availability and performance of its Synchronix storage solution."

The Synchronix is also a candidate for inclusion in validated cluster configurations for Microsoft Cluster Server, the built-in clustering feature of Windows NT Server Enterprise Edition 4.0.

The clustering capability of Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition 4.0, which is based on open specifications and industry-standard hardware, will initially configure clusters of two servers. Microsoft validation of cluster hardware is done for complete cluster configurations consisting of two servers and their shared storage.

Clustered systems provide high availability and greater aggregate performance for critical business applications. In conjunction with Windows NT Server Enterprise Edition 4.0, Microsoft has invited leading industry system and storage vendors to develop base system configurations, which may be used within validated cluster configurations for Microsoft Cluster Server.

"ECCS is working closely with several server vendors to include our storage subsystems within validated cluster configurations for Microsoft Cluster Server," said David Boyle, ECCS' Vice President Sales and Marketing. "We are positioned to drive our clustering knowledge into the Windows NT Server market. As an industry leader in the open systems storage market, ECCS is providing scalable, high performance and continuously available storage systems that complement powerful Windows NT based servers."

"The high availability cluster Windows NT Server market requires performance, continuous availability, and reliability. Currently, Synchronix is well positioned as one of the few products for the Windows NT Server marketplace with the necessary I/O performance and fault tolerance required at the mission critical level," said Robert Gray, Research Manager of Storage Systems, International Data Corporation.

ECCS, Inc. designs, manufactures, markets and maintains high availability RAID storage devices for both direct bus attach and network attach environments. ECCS products are surrounded by an intuitive Graphical User Interface to tune, monitor, and manage ECCS products. ECCS has been incorporated since 1980, providing high availability solutions for UNIX and NT based computer systems. ECCS is headquartered in Tinton Falls, New Jersey.
