DTLK SAN play. Presenting at conference. Still cheap.
At the Fibre Channel
Technologies Conference and Expo (FCTC '99) in San Jose next week, Datalink Corporation (NASDAQ:DTLK - news) will demonstrate a live, switched-fabric Storage Area Network (SAN)--a pool of
storage shared by multiple servers providing high-speed, high bandwidth connections. A SAN enables more powerful access
and protection of business critical information--making it a key component for enterprise storage management. Deployed with
fibre channel, SANs deliver greater scalability, reliability, availability, and recoverability. Datalink is at the forefront of
heterogeneous SAN deployments in Open Systems enterprise environments.
Datalink's exhibit (booth 515/513) features a live SAN illustrating LAN-free backup,heterogeneous shared disk,
heterogeneous shared tape and dynamic tape allocation--a solution that enables corporate IT departments to achieve
cost-saving, high-speed, high performance data access and storage management capabilities. Datalink will demonstrate its Open
Systems expertise by integrating industry-leading technologies from BROCADE,Crossroads, Emulex, Hitachi Data Systems,
JNI, StorageTek, and VERITAS Software in a multi-platform environment. During exhibit hours, a Datalink SAN expert will be
available to answer questions and discuss the company's networked storage solutions.
In addition, Datalink's Vice President of Engineering, Scott Robinson, will present a tutorial on Storage Area Networks, entitled
''SANs: Real World Solutions,' to conference attendees. Scheduled from 2:00-4:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 4th, the tutorial presents an overview of the opportunities, realities and challenges in deploying SANs. Attendees will learn about SAN
building blocks; explore LAN-free backup implementation; hear about an actual SAN implementation; and learn about the next
stage in SAN deployment--shared storage.
FCTC '99, held November 2-4 at the San Jose Convention Center, provides practical information on Fibre Channel
system-related design issues including storage area networks, and more. For more information about FCTC '99, log on to
