COPAN Systems
Enhanced MAID (Massive Array of Idle Disks) for persistent data storage and management
COPAN Systems provides intelligent storage solutions that unlock the value of long-term persistent data. Based on an enhanced MAID (Massive Array of Idle Disks) platform, our Revolution 200 series of products combine the reliability and responsiveness of disk with the affordability and scale of tape. Solution implementations include backup/restore, archive, and disaster recovery.
Persistent data is the fastest growing segment of data in the enterprise. It is comprised of second copies of data for data protection applications and archiving data, reference data and compliance data that needs to be kept online but is only occasionally accessed. By many industry analyst accounts, persistent data represents 70-80% of the total data in a typical data center. COPAN’s purpose built, enhanced MAID platform is designed specifically for the management of persistent data.
COPAN is headquartered in Longmont, Colorado, and was founded in March 2002. In-Q-Tel initially invested in COPAN in December 2006. For more information about COPAN, please visit www.copansys.com.
