SAN JOSE, Calif. – August
5, 2008– 4Blox,
Inc.™, dedicated
to improving iSCSI SAN performance,
today announced that Network World Magazine,
the leading publication in Network Knowledge,
selected the company as one of "10
data storage companies to watch,"
recognizing the company's 4Mezzo™ technology
for "reducing CPU utilization typically
demanded by the iSCSI protocol."
Network World compiled the "10
data storage companies to watch"
list by evaluating stroage companies
in stealth mode and those that released
first products this past year.
4Blox' 4Mezzo™ technology dramatically
reduces CPU utilization without the
use of specialized acceleartion hardware,
providing more than 3X improvement in
iSCSI performance relative to CPU utilization
on commodity hardware platforms (standard
NICs, CPUs and motherboards). This is
particularly important at higher network
speeds, embedded solutions, and virtualized
servers - all of which place additional
processing demands on the CPU.
"We are thrilled to be included
in Network World's "10 data storage
comanies to watch" list, said Dan
Munro, CEO of 4Blox. "To receive
this acknowledement from a prominent
industry publication is an honor. We
are happy to have the 4Mezzo technology
recognized for its ability to expand
CPU processing power and provide customers
with increased flexibility for building
higher performing iSCSI SAN solutions
using commodity components."
