Compaq's 1Q 98 Launch of Fibre Channel Storage Will Deliver Microsoft NT Clustering Business Wire - December 12, 1997 12:05 HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 12, 1997--Compaq Computer Corporation announced today that its new Enterprise Class storage system is the first Fibre Channel standards-based storage system to receive certification on Microsoft's NT Cluster Server. Announced last month, Compaq's Fibre Channel Storage System is currently undergoing evaluation at hundreds of customer sites around the world, and is slated for general availability in the first quarter of 1998. Compaq's Fibre Channel Storage System is a highly scalable, high performance storage environment designed specifically for high-end, Intel-based servers. The Fibre Channel Storage System provides higher capacity, greater bandwidth, longer distances, more efficient connectivity and better server slot utilization than existing SCSI solutions. This significant milestone marks the first implementation of a Fibre Channel storage environment with Microsoft NT clustering to deliver storage with greater bandwidth, distance and availability for today's most demanding applications. Compaq and Microsoft have shared a business partnership and vision for 15 years. This has led to the rapid development of advanced, integrated high-tech business solutions and seamless integration between Windows NT and Compaq servers and clusters.
