Adaptec and CrosStor Partner to Enable Ethernet-Attached Solutions That Incorporate Storage Over IP Technology [Here we go again with more ADPT buzzzzz] Adaptec's EtherStorage Architecture Combined With CrosStor's NAS Software Will Enable Network File Sharing at SAN Speeds MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 8, 2000-- Adaptec, Inc. and CrosStor Software, Inc. today announced a strategic relationship to create external storage solutions that combine the simplicity and manageability of NAS (network-attached storage) with the performance of SANs (storage area networks). As partners, CrosStor and Adaptec are jointly developing the enabling technology based on Adaptec's EtherStorage hardware and CrosStor's storage-centric software. The CrosStor and Adaptec collaboration will result in external storage solutions that communicate at both the file level (NAS) and block level (SAN) over standard Ethernet networks, thereby driving the convergence of NAS and SAN. CrosStor will contribute its expertise as the storage industry's leading enterprise-class, network-attached storage software provider to OEMs to develop the storage-centric software. Adaptec will leverage its two years of development of storage over IP technology to provide the EtherStorage products used in these solutions. Adaptec and CrosStor will work together to make these solutions available to their broad existing base of OEMs and channel partners. ``Adaptec's EtherStorage is designed to bring SAN solutions to the mass market by enabling the SAN infrastructure to be Ethernet-based rather than Fibre Channel-based,'' explained Gordon Harris, CrosStor's CTO and vice president of development. ``The CrosStor architecture complements the EtherStorage architecture. Combining the two will enable network file-sharing at SAN speeds.'' [Sure would like to see some numbers to back up that claim] ``CrosStor has established a leadership position among storage OEMs because their NAS software architecture is enormously flexible and engineered for performance,'' said Jim Comstock, vice president of marketing for Adaptec's Storage Networking Solutions Group. ``We are excited to be working with CrosStor to combine our EtherStorage technology with their NAS software. This partnership is a key step forward in making storage over IP solutions a reality.''
