Interphase and Seagate Demonstrate 2 Gbps Fibre Channel At Comdex Business Wire - November 16, 1999 14:12 LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 16th, 1999-- -- First Public Demonstration of Higher Throughput Fibre Channel Marks New Plateau in Storage Area Network Technology -- Interphase Corporation (Nasdaq:INPH), an international supplier of enterprise networking technologies, and Seagate Technology, Inc. (NYSE:SEG) are providing an advanced look at the future of Storage Area Networking for the estimated 200,000 networking professionals who are visiting the Comdex tradeshow this week. The two companies are jointly demonstrating 2 Gigabit per second Fibre Channel connectivity featuring Seagate's Cheetah 36LP Fibre Channel disk drives and Interphase PowerSAN(tm) adapters running in a Sun Solaris environment. The higher throughput capabilities being displayed publicly for the first time this week mark a new plateau in the development of Storage Area Network (SAN) technology. The emergence of the SAN architecture has fostered a surge in data capacity within the enterprise. As a result, the need for the two-fold increase in throughput that 2 Gbps Fibre Channel provides has become important to support SAN scalability and performance-demanding applications which require higher aggregate bandwidth. "The Interphase PowerSAN adapter has demonstrated impressive performance," said Nancy Kuehn, Seagate Product Marketing Manager. "By sustaining maximized throughput to multiple drives operating at 2 Gbps, our collaborative demonstration shows that interoperable solutions are on the horizon for enterprise network managers building next-generation Storage Area Network architectures." Interphase 64-bit PowerSAN adapters provide industry-leading performance scalability for enterprise-class applications. The 2 Gbps PowerSAN architecture features an efficient state machine processor that eliminates the "performance bottleneck" that can occur in some competitive designs when implemented in high-end demanding environments. PowerSAN adapters include other features important for enterprise SAN environments such as simultaneous support for both SCSI and IP protocol traffic, multi-gigabit connectivity options, and Java-based HBA SAN management. "We are pleased to be working with Seagate's drive technology to demonstrate the new capability of our Fibre Channel adapters," said Greg Kalush, Interphase president and CEO. "It is important that the Fibre Channel community works closely to enable compatible multi-host, multi-storage environments for the enterprise IT buyer. By partnering to demonstrate 2 Gbps performance, Interphase and Seagate are delivering on this commitment to the user community."
