DPS’ Solution: What the Client Says

“We tried other RAID controllers but they didn’t come near to the quality of the Data Protection Solutions products. DupliDisk DD3 /DD4 technology mirrors the information on the fly. Most importantly, the customer stays up and running”, comments Chad Davis, Project Manager, Ascend Technologies.

Ascend Technologies provides a number of critical services, and DupliDisk IDE/SATA RAID controllers provide the peace of mind and data protection that those services require.

“The support and service we receive from Data Protection Solutions is second to none,” says Davis. “The reps are very responsive and every shipment has arrived when I needed it. For reliability and stability there is only one RAID controller I would use and that is DupliDisk.”
