Rauch Medien and Arco technology come together in world's first remote RAID
monitoring system

New York, USA - Rauch Medien (rauchmedien.com) has decided to base RAID
Alert, their upcoming remote RAID monitoring system, on Arco RAID technology
(arcoide.com). The RAID Alert system is a combination of hardware and
software that continuously monitors your RAID system and, in the event of a
problem, alerts you with important information via email or email-enabled
device like pager or cell phone.

"We believe RAID Alert will prove to be a very valuable tool to the IT
community," said Robert Lodato, Marketing Director for Rauch Medien. "It will
enable system administrators to know precisely which drive failed on which
server, as soon as it happens."

How it works
The RAID Alert system continuously monitors your RAID array and alerts you
when any problem has been detected. The RAID Alert system can be configured
to respond with detailed technical information on your system. This includes
system status, identification information (IP Address, Host Name, and Alert
Alias), error information, hardware configuration information (Such as hard
drive specs), and RAID status code. The alert can then be received via email
or email-enabled device like pager or cellular phone.

The RAID Alert system is perfect for call centers, data centers, and
corporate networks where large IT managerial tasks exist. The RAID Alert
system streamlines these tasks by automating the monitoring of your network's
storage and keeping your IT staff informed on current network events. This
addition to Rauch Medien's email alert system that comes standard on all
servers, provides peace of mind not available with any other server on the
market.

Proven Technology
Rauch Medien has based RAID Alert on Arco's proven RAID technology. "Arco's
RAID technology is a very mature product that has proven its reliability in
the field, which is what counts," said Cory R. Rauch, Director of Technology
for Rauch Medien. "This, coupled with excellent technical support, is why we
chose to go with Arco."

"Arco is pleased that our DupliDisk II technology has been selected by Rauch
Medien," said Joel Rieger, Marketing Manager for Arco Computer Products, Inc.
"DupliDisk II technology remains the proven solution leader for IDE RAID in
the Linux marketplace."

The RAID Alert system will be available by month's end Rauch Medien's
web-site rauchmedien.com and will be available to be configured with any
Rauch Medien server system. To learn more about what RAID Alert can do for
