RADA Electronic Industries Ltd. Supplies to Axxana the Black Box for
Its Phoenix Disaster Recovery EDR System
On Monday May 4, 2009, 9:01 am EDT
NETANYA, Israel, May 4, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RADA Electronic Industries Ltd.
(NasdaqCM:RADA - News), announced today that it has supplied the Black Box for
Axxana's Phoenix Disaster Recovery EDR System, following successful completion
of intensive environmental qualification testing.
Axxana, which was recently added to the list of "Cool Vendors in Storage
Technology, 2009" by Gartner, Inc., has developed the Phoenix Enterprise Data
Recording (EDR) Black Box which allows storage arrays to replicate in
synchronous fashion over asynchronous distances. Axxana has integrated three
technologies into its solution:
1. Flash drives for low-latency I/O and low power requirements,
2. Emergency cellular transmission,
3. The adaptation of the RADA airborne "black box" to preserve the data
in case of fire, flood, mechanical shocks or explosion.
The Phoenix Black Box can be viewed as a hardened storage system, that can
survive the following extreme conditions:
* Direct flames at 2000oF for one hour followed by 450oF for an
additional 6 hours
* Pressure of 5000LB
* Pierce force of a 500LB rod dropped from 10FT
* 30FT of water pressure
* Shock of 40G
This technology allows a storage vendor to save the data not yet committed to
the remote site in an EDR housed in the array, and allows the data to be
recovered following almost any disaster to the primary site.
It also allows organizations to attain Zero RPO (Recovery Point Objective) with
an existing remote site, which significantly simplifies the recovery from any
disaster. Commenting on the event, Zvi Alon, RADA CEO, said, "RADA has
successfully exploited this unique opportunity where we can use our mature
technology, developed for military applications, in a solution to the growing
demand for enterprise information disaster recovery. We have great expectations
of this program and we believe that our customer, Axxana, has the potential to
capture significant part of this huge and fast growing business."
