INPH Nice little PR about INPH/HP. Russ Friday February 25, 11:34 am Eastern Time Company Press Release Interphase Joins HP's Open SAN Initiative Expands Interphase Commitment to Interoperability of Fibre Channel-based SAN Products DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 25, 2000--Interphase Corporation (Nasdaq:INPH - news), a leading international supplier of Fibre Channel networking technologies, today announced that it belongs to Hewlett-Packard Company's Open Storage Area Network (SAN) Initiative. Participation in this program reinforces Interphase's long-standing commitment to support multi-vendor interoperability for its Fibre Channel products in heterogeneous SAN environments. The HP Open SAN Initiative is a comprehensive plan to ensure seamless integration of multivendor, multiplatform SAN products for HP customers. The interoperability program is intended to provide an opportunity for third-party hardware and software vendors to test their products for compatibility with HP storage products and software. HP expects the program to be fully implemented by the second calendar quarter of 2000. ''The HP Open SAN Initiative is intended to provide a comprehensive range of compatible data storage solutions for our customers,'' said Marilyn Edling, vice president and general manager of HP's Enterprise Storage Business Unit. ''As a recognized premier partner for HP, Interphase products help complete HP's intelligent SAN-based architecture.'' Interphase has been a leader in driving multi-vendor interoperability for Fibre Channel products. The company hosts industry-wide interoperability testing and has one of the largest facilities in the industry dedicated to this effort. In addition, Interphase works in conjunction with industry groups such as the Fibre Channel Industry Association (FCIA), the Fibre Alliance, the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) and the University of New Hampshire's Interoperability Lab to promote industry-wide Fibre Channel testing. Interphase also has a formal ''partners'' program designed to assure compatibility for vendor specific configurations with its strategic business partners. ''We applaud HP's leadership and efforts in providing highly compatible storage products to its customers,'' said Greg Kalush, Interphase president and CEO. ''The HP Open SAN Initiative is complementary to the work we already do in this area, and through participation in this program Interphase continues its on-going commitment to interoperability and truly open solutions for mission-critical enterprise SAN connectivity.'' Interphase provides products to HP as both an OEM supplier and authorized channel partner for communications technologies including Fibre Channel, ATM, FDDI, Fast Ethernet, 100VG-AnyLAN and SCSI. Interphase has also been named a ''premier partner'' by HP's Enterprise Computing Business Unit.
