Re: CSCO's Storage Networking
LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 7, 2001--Emulex Corporation
(Nasdaq:EMLX), the world's leading supplier of storage networking host bus adapters (HBAs), announced today it has partnered with Cisco Systems to jointly demonstrate iSCSI technology at NetWorld+Interop (N+I), May 8 - 11, 2001. Emulex, which recently-announced its Giganet(R) GN9000/SI iSCSI HBA, will host a product showcase with Cisco to demonstrate how block-level data may be accessed, via iSCSI technology, from a Fibre Channel storage area network (SAN), running over an Internet protocol (IP) network. The recently-introduced Cisco SN 5420 Storage Router bridges the IP network to the Fibre Channel SAN, enabling the access of block-level storage. "Publicly demonstrating end-to-end storage networking solutions using iSCSI validates the success of the open, standards-based approach," said Doug Ingraham, manager of product management at Cisco Systems and co-chair of the Storage Networking Industry association's IP Storage Forum. "As one of the most active companies in the development and promotion of iSCSI, Cisco will continue to work with technology leaders such as Emulex in creating, demonstrating and deploying IP storage networking solutions." |
