Starboard Storage and SEP Software are committed to providing customers with easy-to-use, high performance, complete and flexible business continuity solutions.

SEPs Multi-Streaming technology allows users to simultaneously backup unlimited streams of data to a single storage device.

The Starboard Storage AC Series is hybrid storage designed to provide solid state performance for active data, while keeping data at rest stored on cost-effective hard disks.

Fully certified with VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Citrix XenServer, the Starboard Storage AC Series is an ideal solution for storage consolidation supporting multiple protocols, NFS, CIFS, iSCSI and Fibre Channel, and enabling ease of managing mixed workloads. The AC Series capacity can be expanded on-the-fly up to 576TBs with automatic load balancing across new drives as they are added. Drive speeds and capacities can be mixed and matched within the Starboard Storage AC Series.

We are delighted to have SEP Software as a Starboard Storage Technology Alliance Partner to jointly provide customers with leading edge hybrid storage with solid state performance, simplified backup and disaster recovery, and more reliable data protection in physical and virtual environments, said Karl Chen, chief marketing officer at Starboard Storage Systems.
