ICEBERG LAUNCHES CUBE

 HIGH-PERFORMANCE DATACENTRE CLOUD-COMPUTING BECOMES REALITY

Ottawa, Ontario, October 18, 2011 – Iceberg Networks Corporation today announces the general availability of their high-performance datacentre appliance.  Using leading-edge technologies, Iceberg has developed Cube™, a product family of the industry’s fastest, high-performance cloud appliances.  All Cube™ models are self-contained, highly secure and deliver unparalleled-performance.  Cube™ solutions can exceed millions of Input Output Operations per Second (IOPS) while using 1/10th of the floor space, 1/10th of the power and costing 1/10th of legacy solutions. 

Each Cube™ is built with innovative, low power, high I/O technology that is highly cost-effective and extremely efficient.  Iceberg has integrated proven legacy technology with cutting-edge high-speed NAND (non-volatile solid-state) technology to create an extremely fast and efficient cloud solution. The performance of the larger models equals that of a world class data centre all in a form-factor that is a fraction of the size.  

The Cube™ Model 1000 Series is being released today and has read/write speeds exceeding one million I/O per second.  NAND flash solid state storage is the foundation of all Cube™ models and delivers the equivalent spindle speeds that exceed 10,000 standard hard drives (over 1 million IOPS) and the bandwidth of 16 fibre channel cards (over 5 GB/s). The Cube™ 1000 model is housed in a 7U chassis and has peak power requirements of only 3.0 KW. All Cube models can be linked and will scale to handle even larger I/O or bandwidth requirements.

Initially available in 1000 Model Series configurations, Iceberg will be shipping the 2000 and 5000 Model Series advanced versions of the Cube™, integrated with industry-leading security tools, ensuring customers that their private cloud is secure, compliant and designed to mitigate risks.

Iceberg continues to work with customers to develop the most effective ways to integrate private, community, and public cloud solutions. Using our extensive experience we develop effective hybrid cloud configurations and maximize the business benefits of leveraging cloud computing strategies in this evolving industry.
