Nishan Systems Enrolls in DataCore's SANvantage Technical Partner Program
Alliance Pioneers Next Wave of IP-Based Storage Solutions
FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla., and SAN JOSE, Calif., (May 8, 2001) - DataCore™ Software, the leading provider of storage virtualization and networking software, today announced the addition of Nishan Systems to its SANvantage™ Technical Partner Program. Through the alliance, 'Powered by DataCore' storage virtualization solutions can incorporate Nishan's Storage over IP framework using Gigabit Ethernet.
"Nishan's products provide scalable, enterprise-level solutions to meet the growing storage connectivity and management requirements of data-intensive companies," said Randy Fardal, vice president of marketing, Nishan Systems. "By working together with DataCore, we jointly provide an IP-based storage network with enhanced storage consolidation and management benefits above and beyond what Fibre Channel customers currently enjoy."
DataCore has tested two of Nishan's IP Storage switches, the IPS 2000 Series
SCSI and Gigabit Ethernet switch, and the IPS 3000 Series Fibre Channel to
Gigabit Ethernet switch, which bring product compatibility, established
standards, and scalability to storage virtualization solutions. These
products integrate well with DataCore SANsymphony's™ operating premise
that all storage resources should be available in a single pool over a
network (whether IP or Fibre Channel) enabling storage to be allocated
easily and accessed exactly when and where it's needed, regardless of the
hardware platforms and storage devices in place.
"DataCore recognizes the value of establishing partnerships with companies like Nishan which are bringing a new generation of technology to the market. As Nishan is the leader in driving the adoption of IP-based storage networking solutions, DataCore is pleased to welcome Nishan to our SANvantage Technical Partner Program," said Ken Horner, vice president of marketing at DataCore. "SANsymphony's agnostic architecture allows it to easily support IP connectivity, thus bringing the advantages of storage virtualization to this familiar infrastructure."
The SANvantage Technical Partner Program brings together industry leaders who deliver interoperable, open systems SAN technology to joint customers.
