ADIC SAN Technology Qualified by EMC for Integration with EMC Data Manager Solutions; Delivers Storage Networking Support for EDM.Business Editors, High-Tech Writers REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 27, 2001 Advanced Digital Information Corporation (Nasdaq:ADIC) today announced that EMC Corporation EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC) is an American Fortune 500 and S&P 500 manufacturer of software and systems for information management and storage. It is headquartered in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, USA. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :EMC (1) (EMC Corporation, Hopkinton, MA, www.emc.com) The leading supplier of storage products for midrange computers and mainframes. Founded in 1979 by Richard J. Egan and Roger Marino, EMC has developed advanced storage and retrieval technologies for the world's largest companies. ) has qualified the ADIC SAN Gateway(TM) technology for integration into EMC Data Manager(TM) (EDM (Engineering Data Management) An information system that maintains the details of all engineering data while the product is in the design and concept phase. This includes geometry and changes to geometry. See PLM. EDM - Electronic Data Management ) backup and restore environments. The certification means that IT departments can use SAN Gateway technology to support third-party tape storage devices, including ADIC Scalar scalar, quantity or number possessing only sign and magnitude, e.g., the real numbers (see number), in contrast to vectors and tensors; scalars obey the rules of elementary algebra. Many physical quantities have scalar values, e.g. series libraries, in Fibre Channel storage network environments using EDM. "EDM is the solution of choice for today's mission-critical and enterprise backup and restore operations, offering a time-tested solution for data protection in storage networks," said Chuck Hollis, EMC's vice president of product marketing. "As end-users increasingly rely on storage networks for their enterprise data, it is important that they have a reliable, fully tested set of tools that provide solid interoperability in that environment. ADIC's SAN connectivity and management technology is a key element for providing that interoperability." The EDM qualification is the latest announcement in a growing relationship between ADIC and EMC. The technology in the SAN Gateway was previously certified as EMC(R) E-Lab Tested, an exacting testing program designed to ensure the interoperability of third party products within the EMC Enterprise Storage Network (ESN (Electronic Serial Number) A unique identification number built into a cellphone for security purposes. ). Those test results certified the Gateway connectivity and management technology for use in a wide range of heterogeneous storage network operating environments In computing, an operating environment is the environment in which users run programs, whether in a command line interface, such as in MS-DOS or the Unix shell, or in a graphical user interface, such as in the Macintosh operating system. that also support EMC Enterprise Storage systems and software applications. "The EDM qualification is a validation of the reliability and performance of our storage networking technology," said Bill Britts, ADIC executive vice president of Sales and Marketing. "Today's IT departments need intelligent storage systems and software that can provide them with more efficient storage management and give them the flexibility to adopt advanced technologies quickly. The SAN Gateway technology provides highly leveraged connectivity and management capabilities for storage networks, and it provides interoperability within EMC's EDM solutions environment to give customers a wide range of new data protection options."
