DGN Reports 1Q biz.yahoo.com Data General President and Chief Executive Officer Ronald L. Skates said, ''Our CLARiiON full fibre channel storage products also continued to show solid growth, and now represent approximately half of our storage business,'' Commenting on the CLARiiON business, Mr. Skates said, ''As the only major storage vendor shipping full fibre RAID disk arrays, Data General is the leader in this advanced technology. Fibre channel is fast becoming the industry's primary storage interface and is the underlying technology for storage area networks.'' Mr. Skates added, ''We have been increasing our investment in CLARiiON by adding additional sales, marketing and research and development resources. While this investment will impact growth in near-term profitability, it is imperative that we add these additional resources so that we can fully capitalize on the huge fibre channel and storage-area networking market opportunities before us.'' Data General strengthened its position in the storage-area networking (SAN) marketplace during the quarter with the announcement of a technology alliance with networking leader 3Com Corporation. The two companies are working together to deliver the technologies necessary to integrate SANs into existing Windows NT enterprise network infrastructures. The CLARiiON fibre channel product line also was enhanced late in the quarter with the introduction of the FC 5703, a powerful storage solution that gives users enterprise-level features at entry-level prices. Mr. Skates concluded, ''Our strategic focus is on providing storage and high-end computing solutions. With our enterprise server strategy and the growing market for our fibre channel storage systems and storage-area networks, we are well positioned for revenue growth.''
