Data General Corp.'s Clariion business unit, Bull and Emulex Corp. next week will demonstrate the first Fibre Channel-based disaster recovery system for open AIX environments at Oracle Corp.'s OpenWorld/Oracle Expo in Paris.
The system is designed to let users secure data by placing storage up to 10 kilometers away from servers. It also avoids latency problems by ensuring transfer rates up to 100M bps, officials said.
The demonstration will feature a combination of two Bull Escala servers running an Oracle Corp. database, Emulex's LightPulse PCI adapters and a Clariion FC3000 Fibre Channel RAID storage subsystem.
"This announcement is a major step for the storage industry," said Larry Hemmerich, vice president and general manager of Clariion, based in Westboro, Mass. "The use of these products will allow users maximum flexibility for disaster recovery configuration, design and management in open AIX environments."
In other Clariion news, Microsoft Corp. next week will award the company's SCSI Series 3000 RAID disk array the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Compatibility logo.
