Ciprico gets a little home town press: webserv1.startribune.com <<"The movie industry got ahead of itself" in signing up for Ciprico products before it had figured out how to make the most efficient use of it, said securities analyst Clinton Morrison of John G. Kinnard & Co. "Ciprico is still the product they'll wind up buying, but they're taking more time before making the decision," said Morrison, one of the analysts with a long-term buy recommendation. In the interim, he sees "significant opportunities" in the newer satellite, petroleum and TV markets, Morrison said.>> Neil

NEWS: MetaStor by Symbios Teams With IBM to Provide Fibre Channel Solution for the Enterprise biz.yahoo.com Monday April 27, 6:04 am Eastern Time Company Press Release MetaStor Server-Attached Storage and IBM Netfinity Servers Offer Compatibility and Simplified Integration for Customers Adopting Fibre Channel FORT COLLINS, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 27, 1998-- Symbios, Inc., a proven leader in I/O technology and storage products, today announced that its MetaStor(TM) Fibre Channel storage systems have been tested under the IBM ServerProven(TM) Program with the Netfinity server family. The MetaStor line of high-end, scalable Fibre Channel storage products, combined with IBM's business-critical network servers, provide a robust Fibre Channel solution for the network enterprise. The MetaStor systems' new scalable architecture provides users with storage investment protection. The systems' multi-dimensional scalability feature allows users to simultaneously scale capacity, availability and performance. Because these systems separate the controller and drive modules, users can move from SCSI to Fibre Channel controllers without having to purchase new drive storage modules. In addition, the MetaStor/Netfinity Fibre Channel solution allows IBM customers to begin evaluating and adopting Fibre Channel technology with the comfort of tested compatibility, optimized performance, and easy installation. ''Symbios' support of IBM's ServerProven Program began last May with a ServerProven Ultra SCSI product offering,'' said Bill Reed, managing director of MetaStor Solutions. ''Now with the MetaStor/Netfinity Fibre Channel solution, customers are assured a high level of compatibility, as well as an easy upgrade or installation process. Symbios' ability to deliver state-of-the-art I/O solutions and storage systems, combined with IBM's proven, market-leading server technology, has resulted in a successful partnership and a winning Fibre Channel solution for the enterprise.'' ''By using the MetaStor high performance Fibre Channel storage system, IBM is now able to offer its Netfinity users a scalable, seamlessly integrated Fibre solution,'' said Lineene Krasnow, vice president of marketing, IBM Netfinity. ''Symbios' strong storage expertise was a key factor in IBM's decision to continue the long-standing partnership with Symbios -- providing the means for customers to begin immediate evaluation and future adoption of a complete Fibre Channel solution.'' The MetaStor Fibre Channel storage solution provides significant performance advantages over existing SCSI technology. High-speed data transfer rates of up to 100 MB/second are possible over distances of up to 3 km point-to-point. System availability is enhanced through dual-active, redundant RAID controllers, and redundant, hot-swappable power supplies, disk drives, and fans. The Fibre solution is ideal for high-performance environments such as Internet servers, video editing, pre-press, and image-oriented database applications. MetaStor scalable server-attached storage products are available through MetaStor product VARs, system integrators and authorized IBM resellers. The IBM Netfinity family is available through IBM resellers. MetaStor scalable storage solutions will be demonstrated at NetWorld + Interop, Booth #8937, May 5-7, 1998 in Las Vegas. Symbios, Inc., headquartered in Fort Collins, Colorado, creates solutions for moving and storing information. The company focuses on developing partnerships with its customers, including original equipment manufacturers and resellers in the storage, server, peripherals, and communications markets.
