Thread,

Awhile back I was inquiring about fibre channel, and how deep might it permeate technology. Here is one company that felt it was worthwhile to go pretty deep. Note, it is a company based press release.

"Now, Schwartz says Data General has a technology edge over companies like EMC that will enable Data General to make up ground quickly.

All computer storage manufacturers are moving toward fiber channel technology because it allows users to transmit more data over greater distances, an advantage for companies that must share information over far-flung computer networks.

But the storage systems sold by most manufacturers feature fiber channel connections only on the ''front end'' - between the server and the storage equipment.

Clariion systems are more advanced, Schwartz said, because they also use fiber channel technology on the ''back end'' - to connect the network of disks inside the storage equipment.

Data General also got a big boost earlier this year when fast-growing Dell Computer Corp. selected Clariion as its provider of fiber channel storage products, to be sold under Dell's PowerVault brand name.

'' Clariion's fiber channel technology was superior to anything else on the market,'' said Dell spokesman Jim Mazzola. "

Cheers,
Lee
