HELIUS, MTI TECHNOLOGY CORP. AND CALDERA SYSTEMS PARTNER TO DEMONSTRATE LINUX-BASED SATELLITE SYSTEMS FOR RAID STORAGE
Satellite Transfer, Linux and Highly Available RAID Storage Devices Combine
To Provide Powerful ISP and Hospitality Industry Applications
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah BrainShare March 22, 1999 Helius,
Inc., MTI Technology Corp. (Nasdaq:MTIC) and Caldera Systems, Inc. today
announced plans to demonstrate solutions for large file data distribution
and storage at the BrainShare conference. The high-speed and universal
coverage of satellite transfer, large capacity RAID and the stability
of Linux will provide strong product applications for Internet Service
Providers (ISPs) to cache Internet data and allow the hospitality industry
to distribute and store entertainment digitally.
"Because the volume of digital information is increasing so rapidly,
there is a great need for methods of reliably transferring and storing
valuable content," said Myron Mosbarger, president of Helius. "Our recently
released Helius Satellite Router makes accessing data via satellite easier
than ever before. Now, by integrating it with MTI's industry standard
mass storage, we deliver a single product for distributing and storing
the vast amounts of content-rich digital information."
"High-speed access to digital content is extremely important in many
market segments," said Kevin J. Liebl, vice president of marketing for
MTI Technology Corporation. "Internet Service Providers and other Internet-related
businesses are looking for ways to cache data for higher performance.
Video-on-demand and high-speed Internet access are key applications in
the hospitality industry. The solution we are demonstrating at BrainShare
is an excellent application of technology to solve business issues."
"This is the ultimate network appliance," said Ransom Love, CEO of Caldera
Systems, Inc. "The integration of these technologies allows customers
in remote locations with high data requirements to be quickly and fully
connected to the Internet with a single box. It's a first."
