HSINCHU, Taiwan, and SON, Netherlands, November 7, 2014 –PROMISE Technology Inc., a recognized global leader in the storage industry, has launched ‘PROMISE Integrated Systems’ in the EMEA region, a program which, at a glance, assures customers they are getting well-matched systems and devices, screened to PROMISE’s high standards for performance, consistency and reliability. The PROMISE Integrated Systems program includes the company’s popular VTrak and Vess storage subsystems sold through the EMEA channel.

Industry Proven Quality Control Standards

PROMISE works closely with drive vendors to monitor technology, product roadmaps and field quality to select new drives for all of the company’s products. This enables the company to qualify drives for the PROMISE Integrated Systems program, which provide consistency and reliability that can’t be matched by using drives on the open market. By purchasing a PROMISE Integrated System, customers do not have to worry about problems caused by incompatible hard drives impacting the operation of their business. Further, with PROMISE Integrated Systems, the entire drive assembly is covered by technical support and warranty, which helps assure accurate fault diagnosis and minimizes unnecessary downtime and returns.

Benefits of PROMISE Integrated Systems include:

• Drives selected to optimize performance, cost, availability and quality
• Less uncertainty - avoid incompatible HDDs impacting the operation of your business
• Assures accurate fault diagnosis and minimizes unnecessary downtime and returns
• Better quality - extremely low field return rates

How is this achieved?

The drive vendor and model are selected, qualified, screened, and tested extensively to ensure optimized performance and tuning with PROMISE’s systems. Throughput screens, Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology (SMART) Checks, write/read validation, media scan and Power on Hours (POH) checks are all carried out along with system integrated tests to ensure the highest quality solution possible is delivered. Integration services for VTrak and Vess systems are handled locally by PROMISE’s EMEA office in the Netherlands. PROMISE Integrated Systems can be identified by the program logo placed on each drive carrier in the company’s storage systems.
