NEWS:Silicon Graphics Teams With Industry Leaders to Deliver a Choice of Complete Storage Management Solutions Silicon Graphics Will Resell Storage Solutions from EMC and Ciprico MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Feb. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Silicon Graphics, Inc. (NYSE: SGI) today announced it is forming strategic relationships with storage industry leaders EMC Corporation and Ciprico, Inc. This is the first time that vendors are collaborating to enable customers to select from a broader set of storage solutions rather than being limited to a single product from one computer systems vendor. Silicon Graphics is now reselling and supporting storage solutions from EMC and Ciprico to simplify and enhance the customer's purchasing experience. Adding leading storage solutions to the Silicon Graphics(R) Origin(TM) server family and Onyx2(TM) graphics systems will also allow customers to select from a broad range of options and obtain high-quality service and support from one vendor. In addition, the cache-coherent Non-Uniform Memory Access (CC-NUMA) Origin servers provide the high-speed storage functionality required by high-bandwidth applications in decision support, Web serving and media streaming for industries like telecommunications, entertainment, sciences, oil and gas and government sectors. "This is an industry breakthrough," said Beau Vrolyk, vice president and general manager, Server and Supercomputing Business Unit at Silicon Graphics. "Customers now have a choice of complete high-performance market-specific storage solutions -- from storage consulting services to implementation and post-sales support all from a single source, Silicon Graphics." "EMC's Symmetrix Enterprise Storage systems and software, combined with Origin servers, give customers in key markets and industries a powerful enterprise-class solution," said Frank Farese, vice president of Reseller Channels at EMC Corp. "Symmetrix provides the performance, scalability and information sharing, management and protection capabilities needed for demanding data center and mainframe migration applications." "With Silicon Graphics endorsing, selling and supporting Ciprico's high performance RAID solutions, we are able to provide a total solution to our customers," said Robert H. Hill, president and CEO of Ciprico. "This relationship affirms both parties' commitment to further work together to exceed the capacity and performance needs of the technical, scientific and creative markets." CC-NUMA The Silicon Graphics Origin200(TM) and Origin2000(TM) servers with their scalable CC-NUMA architecture, fast 64-bit RISC processors, and revolutionary I/O subsystem are uniquely suited to manage large amounts of data reliably and quickly. Whether hosting a data warehouse, storing and retrieving product design data or serving thousands of concurrent users, Origin servers offer the scalable bandwidth to provide efficient response times. Availability The first Ciprico RAID 3 Disk Arrays products and EMC Symmetrix(R) family of products are available immediately from Silicon Graphics and its distributors worldwide. These solutions complement the breadth of storage solutions already offered through Silicon Graphics, including the Fibre RAID family of products from Data General CLARiiON, a leading OEM supplier of high availability SCSI and fibre channel disk arrays.
