(NYSE: BXH - news), a leading independent provider of storage and SAN solutions, has teamed up with Mercury Computer Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRCY - news) of Chelmsford, MA to provide SANergy(TM) software, which allows files to be shared on Storage Area Network (SAN)-based storage, using standard networks and file systems.

SANergy supports UNIX, Windows NT and Mac OS platforms. ''As one of the worldwide leaders in storage and SAN solutions, Box Hill brings our company an unparalleled level of expertise in integrating software and hardware SAN products,'' said Barry Burke, vice president and general manager of Mercury's Shared Storage Business Unit.
