MaXXan® Systems, Inc., the first company to ship intelligent storage
networking solutions, today announced that it has successfully tested its
MaXXan MXV320™ Intelligent Application Switch, as well as the SA100f™ and
SA200f™ business continuity and storage consolidation solutions with the
QLogic SANbox2™ Fibre Channel switches and SANblade™ host bus adapters.
MaXXan's products are based on the innovative SANe™ (Storage Application
Engine) architecture that centralizes the delivery and management of
storage applications from the storage network by leveraging
high-performance I/O engines and a programmable switch fabric.
The QLogic qualification is part of MaXXan's comprehensive program of
interoperability testing with industry-leading vendors of SAN
infrastructure and storage products. MaXXan previously announced that the
MXV320 system has been certified by Hitachi Data Systems under the
Interoperability Demonstration Program (IDP).
""QLogic and MaXXan share a common goal of making storage networks more
scalable and easier to manage," said Joseph Kimpler, director of business
alliances, QLogic Corp. "The combination of QLogic's award-winning
SANblade HBAs and SANbox2 switches, and MaXXan's industry-leading SANe-based
products offers customers the ability to leverage best-in-class solutions
from the core to the edge of their enterprise storage infrastructure."
"We are committed to ensuring that our customers can deploy MaXXan
solutions that are pre-tested for interoperability with best-of-breed
third-party storage networking equipment," said Ramu Muthangi, director of
field support for MaXXan Systems. "QLogic represents the type of premier
partner MaXXan is working with to provide high-quality, fully-tested
solutions that can be deployed in today's heterogeneous storage
environments."
MaXXan's flagship MXV320 Intelligent Application Switch based on the
Company¹s SANe architecture is built around a standards-based I/O engine
optimized to run leading software applications and a network
processor-based programmable switch fabric that delivers core services at
the port level. The MaXXan SA100f standalone system and SA200f application
card for the Intelligent Application Switch are designed for
cost-effective and easy deployment of business continuity/disaster
recovery (DR) and storage consolidation solutions. The SA100f is a
standalone system for use in smaller environments or remote sites that do
not need an integrated switch. The SA200f application card is integrated
into MaXXan's MXV320 Intelligent Application Switch for large data
centers.
