Onaro Named to Storage magazine-SearchStorage.com ‘Products of the Year’
BOSTON, MA - February 13, 2007 - Onaro, Inc., the leader in storage service management, today announced that SANscreen Replication Assurance has been selected by the editors of TechTarget’s Storage Media Group as a ‘2006 Storage Product of the Year’ in the storage management software category with a bronze medal. According to the judges, Onaro, a previous winner, continues to build software that genuinely solves users’ problems.
SANscreen Replication Assurance focuses on one thing, and does it extremely well, according to the editors of SearchStorage.com and Storage magazine. It provides a global inventory of all replication devices, the type of replication between devices and whether replication tasks are performed according to service-level agreements. If a replication process is disrupted, SANscreen Replication Assurance provides root-cause analysis and reports actions to address the issue.
According to the judges, who have faith in its ability to perform as advertised given the company's previous success, SANscreen Replication Assurance is the first product of its kind. With disaster recovery a standard requisite for large data centers, this product adds some quality assurance to this vital process—assurance that's been missing until now.
“We are proud to be the recipient of this prestigious award,” said Doug McNary, president and CEO, Onaro, Inc. “This is Onaro’s second recognition by the editors of TechTarget’s Storage Media Group for product excellence. Our first recognition came in 2004 when Onaro SANscreen was awarded the Gold medal in storage management. Today, we continue to innovate and win customers with solutions that solve real problems.”
The Product of the Year awards, judged by the Storage magazine-SearchStorage.com editorial staff, in conjunction with a team of users, industry experts, analysts, and consultants, honor the best storage products for enterprise IT professionals based on innovation, performance, ease of integration, ease of use and manageability, functionality and value.
Judges selected the 15 “Products of the Year” from among enterprise storage-related products introduced, upgraded, and shipped between October 27, 2005 and November 3, 2006.
