What People Are Saying
Extremely Impressed
I have been extremely impressed with the quality and attention to detail demonstrated by you and your team. You have not only provided us product, on time and to spec, but have anticipated our need and gone beyond the call of duty. I.E. – you included all the hardware we needed to assemble the first systems.
Reliable & Manageable
Our business is built on CIDesign’s Direct Attached Storage units. They are reliable, manageable, and affordable. CIDesign is committed to service and support of their units, which perform well beyond their expected life cycle. We highly recommend CIDesign for your direct-attached storage needs.
Powerful, Flexible, and Affordable
Powerful, flexible and affordable. The raid subsystem is loaded with features but easy to configure. The enclosure and backplane is well engineered. The iStoragePro product line is a great solution for virtualization environments, performance demanding application servers or just simple near-line storage for archiving purposes. It’s very difficult to recommend storage solutions. Usually they are too expensive or the feature set is incomplete. Ci Design products have great backplane design and exceptional chassis features: power, cooling, packaging, materials, etc. Systems are always designed with the best quality components and technology available. The iR16IS4ER system is a great choice for companies needing 16 TB or 32 TB of storage. The iSCSI controller is hardware accelerated and the front panel LCD helps with monitoring and configuration The embedded web portal provides complete system management.
