ProStor's InfiniVault removable disk drive systems now have an expanded US government purchase channel as they are now available to US federal agencies from Alvarez & Associates, a member of the NASA Scientific Engineering Workstation Procurement (SEWP) program.

Kirk Hanson, SEWP Division VP at Alvarez & Associates, said: “This partnership with ProStor Systems allows us to provide our government customers with a unique family of products that dramatically reduces the cost and effort of proper long-term retention of data. We are impressed with the ProStor InfiniVault system because it reduces primary and backup storage by 50 percent, lowers power consumption by 75 percent, and uses RDX removable disk technology so that our customers gain the performance advantages of online storage with the economics of offline storage.”

Alvarez & Associates is one of only six Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small businesses which have been selected by the NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) in the SEWP (Scientific Engineering Workstation Procurement) program. Government agencies earn SDVO (service disabled veteran owned) credits when purchasing through Alvarez & Associates.

Alvarez & Associates has been awarded contracts by the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, Health and Human Services, Transportation, Labor, State, and Veteran Affairs.
