_______EMC Heads New Storage Area Network Alliance_______
An alliance of storage vendors has formed to promote
interoperability between heterogeneous components operating
across a storage area network. The FibreAlliance comprises
12 vendors, including EMC; Hewlett-Packard's storage
division; Fibre Channel hub and switch vendors Ancor
Communications, Gadzoox Networks, and Vixel; and software
vendors Legato Systems Inc. and Veritas Software Corp.

All charter members of FibreAlliance are working on software
specifications that become a standard Management Information
Block (MIB) within each vendor's management software. Each
vendor writes its own commands for how its product --
whether a storage-management software program for backup, a
host bus adapter between server and storage, or a Fibre
Channel switch -- operates and will interoperate with other
storage devices. If successful, the FibreAlliance MIB will
ensure member products all work with each other. Once
specifications are completed, they will be submitted to
industry boards such as the Internet Engineering Task Force
and the Storage Networking Industry Association.

"The thing that's brought us together is the goal to be
first to market," says Don Swatik, VP of product management
for EMC. "The time has come to stop talking about how great
SANs will be in the future, and start delivering solutions."
