ZOOX: Not to be confused with GADZ Company Press Release EMC Corporation Qualifies Gadzoox Networks SAN Products Gadzoox' Products Complete EMC's Rigorous Multi-Platform Interoperability Testing; Become Part of EMC's Reference Solutions for Enterprise Storage Networks SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 5, 1999-- Gadzoox© Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq:ZOOX - news), a leading provider of SAN (storage area networking) products, announced today that EMC Corporation (NYSE:EMC - news), the world's leading supplier of enterprise storage systems, software and services, has qualified Gadzoox' Gibraltar GS and GL managed Fibre Channel hubs for use in EMC Enterprise Storage solutions, including the EMC Enterprise Storage Network. The qualified Gadzoox hubs now become part of the EMC sales reference solutions initiative. The product qualification expands the existing relationship between the two companies, which includes development of storage area network management standards through the EMC-sponsored FibreAlliance, an open industry association of nearly 30 companies. ``Gadzoox is pleased to extend our relationship with EMC through its stringent qualification of our products for integration with EMC's industry leading Enterprise Storage Networks,' said Dave Tang, Gadzoox vice president of marketing. ``EMC's qualification serves as validation of the robust interoperability of our SAN products. Our mutual customers now have the reassurance that the best-of-breed solutions from EMC and Gadzoox will provide the ease-of-integration, performance and reliability that they demand.' Based on the company's exclusive hardware and software technology, Gadzoox' Gibraltar hubs products are designed to meet the highest levels of interoperability, resiliency, reliability, performance and open standards compliance. Unlike other products that may conform to standards yet lack the robustness for real-world environments, Gadzoox SAN hubs and switches employ advanced ASIC designs and intelligent embedded agents that proactively manage the SAN infrastructure to help ensure the stability and reliability that is required to achieve enterprise level data availability and integrity. ``EMC is committed to working with leading Fibre Channel SAN suppliers, such as Gadzoox, to ensure an open and interoperable environment for our Symmetrix enterprise storage systems and software,' said Don Swatik, EMC's vice president of product management. ``Together, EMC and Gadzoox deliver proven, tested enterprise storage solutions that users can easily and confidently deploy for their mission-critical applications.' In an effort to develop and promote the open standards that are essential for manageability and interoperability within the SAN market, Gadzoox became a founding member and has been an active contributor to the FibreAlliance. Serving as an industry standards working group and sponsored by EMC, the FibreAlliance is focused on developing SAN management specifications for submission to and approval by the IETF as an industry standard draft. In demonstrating its commitment to open standards, Gadzoox was recognized by the FibreAlliance as the first company in the industry to release a management product that conforms to the new FiberAlliance management specification. The advanced management capabilities and rapid support of standards is enabled by Gadzoox' modular products and open SAN architecture. The innovative architecture allows the capabilities of Gadzoox switches and hubs to be extended through plug-in hardware modules and downloadable SAN agents. The modular architecture is complemented by Gadzoox Ventana(TM) SAN Manager, which provides a graphical user interface for monitoring and controlling SAN devices.
