QLogic and LSI to Cross-Certify InfiniBand Products

QLogic Corp. and LSI Corporation
announced that the two companies will be working together to
cross-certify InfiniBand-based storage systems from LSI with QLogic
InfiniBand networking products. LSI, a charter member of the QLogic
HPCtrack program, plans to build on its longstanding relationship
with QLogic through cross-certification efforts that allow both
companies to deliver better InfiniBand solutions and support to joint
customers.

"Our strong relationship with QLogic and its HPCtrack program is a
key part of our InfiniBand product strategy. We are excited about the
InfiniBand interoperability as it is the selected storage system
interface from the first PetaScale-class supercomputer at Oak Ridge
National Laboratory," said Julie Ryan, director of alliances, Engenio
Storage Group, LSI. "With the ability to conduct interoperability
certifications with the very latest solutions from QLogic and other
critical members of the HPC ecosystem, we will be able to optimize the
reliability and performance of our products for the marketplace."

"LSI has been a strong member of our SANtrack program for several
years and with the addition of this important partner to our HPCtrack
roster, we can begin to deliver compatible, best-of-breed InfiniBand
solutions to our mutual HPC customers," said Joe Kimpler, director of
business alliances, QLogic Corp. "We look forward to working closely
with LSI as the HPC market continues to expand into increasingly
broader applications."
