"We're running multiple
application servers using Computer Associates for backup
and needed a way to easily consolidate our tape and disk
backups," said Gary Davis, System Analyst, HM
Electronics. "StoneFly's Storage Concentrators are
truly plug and play. We had a full functioning IP SAN in
minutes and utilizing the GUI, we've been able to reduce
our backup and restore times using disk to disk
technology, and extend the life and productivity of our
servers."

"StoneFly's Storage Concentrators were very easy to
install and we've found that the GUI has enabled us to
quickly reconfigure our storage assets to enable better
performance without having to move drives around,"
said Scott Brehm, Manager, Information Technology,
Jaycor. "In addition to those time savings, we're
also seeing faster backup and restore times by being
able to back up to a virtual iSCSI disk."
—Jaycor
"StoneFly Networks has targeted a segment of the IP
SAN market that to date has gone unaddressed by
block-level storage devices in a networked environment.
StoneFly's Storage Concentrators are effectively
targeting a large market segment with the needed
functionality at the appropriate price. They will be an
early leader in this market segment with a price at
under $10,000 which represents the most cost-effective
solution to bring storage intelligence to the network,
yet with the necessary ease-of-use, quick-to-install
characteristics that has not been available
previously."
—Randy Kerns, Senior Partner,
Evaluator Group
"The StoneFly technology is the glue to the whole
iSCSI paradigm - it creates a very low cost,
ultra-usable block SAN out of standard Ethernet. The
difference here is that StoneFly provides an intelligent
platform that makes everything else work the way it
should. This could be just the product to kick-start the
market."
—Steve Duplessie, Senior
Analyst, Enterprise Storage Group
"By 2005 iSCSI and the Gigabit Ethernet IP
infrastructure will enable IP SAN connection for over
one million servers - ten times the number of servers
connected to SANs in 2001. Managing the associated
storage is one of the outstanding emerging
storage-related market opportunities."

Gartner Dataquest
