This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on February 21, 2008 at 4:22 pmFujitsu and RELDATA
announced the interoperability of the Fujitsu XG 10 GbE family and
RELDATA 10GbE 9240 Unified Storage Solution. This technology
integration enables 10Gb iSCSI SAN connectivity, allowing storage
customers to eliminate the challenges of rapid storage growth with
modular scalability at a low total cost of ownership.
"By implementing the Fujitsu XG family of Ethernet Switches with our
9240 Unified Storage System, customers can enjoy a higher performance
storage solution that isn’t burdened by the high cost, complexity,
scalability, and heavy licensing requirements of conventional Fibre
Channel SAN implementations," said David Hubbard, chief executive
officer, RELDATA. "We’re allowing our customers to take full advantage
of scaling IOPS performance and throughput without the typical forklift
upgrade required by traditional storage vendors."
The Fujitsu XG family provides ultra-low and predictable latency
switching, allowing RELDATA to deliver a cost-effective, scalable, and
manageable storage infrastructure. The net result is a storage solution
that serves SAN, NAS, and WAN replication functions from a single
storage pool over a high performance 10Gb Ethernet infrastructure to
users and application servers.
Ethernet infrastructure is a key enabler to the competitive
advantage for an IT organization. With this announcement, customers can
scale their IT infrastructure and accommodate ever-increasing amounts
of data at a low total cost of ownership. The 10GbE RELDATA 9240
Unified Storage System provides customers with a single feature-rich
storage system capable of satisfying their demanding technology
requirements. Fujitsu, a company known for its innovative technologies,
is the first switch vendor to be certified with the 10GbE RELDATA 9240
Unified Storage System.
"The Fujitsu XG Ethernet Switches enable RELDATA to deliver a highly
efficient, effective and scalable storage solution that combines the
ease of use of iSCSI with the higher bandwidth associated with 10 GbE.
This combination of ease of use and high performance enables RELDATA to
deliver storage exactly as it is needed to all applications and users
across an organization without the traditional enterprise issues
associated with other technologies," commented Vic Herring, senior
director, new products group, Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc.
