Datalink Showcases Live Heterogeneous Storage Area Network at the Fibre Channel Technologies Conference.Business Editors & Technology Writers MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 6, 2000 Independent Storage System Architect Demonstrates Expertise in Deploying Enterprise-Class SANs At the Fibre Channel Technologies Conference and Expo (FCTC FCTC Framework Convention on Tobacco Control FCTC Fleet Combat Training Center FCTC Frankston Clay Target Club 2000) in San Jose San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. next week, Datalink Corporation Datalink Corporation (NASDAQ: DTLK) is an American data storage corporation with operations throughout the United States. The company engages in the design, installation, and support of data storage infrastructures that store, protect, and provide continuous access to (Nasdaq:DTLK) will demonstrate a live, switched-fabric Storage Area Network (SAN) providing high-speed, high bandwidth connections. A SAN enables more powerful access and protection of business critical information--making it a key component for enterprise storage management. Deployed with fibre channel, SANs deliver greater scalability, reliability, availability, and recoverability. Datalink is at the forefront of heterogeneous SAN deployments in open systems enterprise environments. Datalink's exhibit (booth 307/309) showcases a live SAN featuring heterogeneous shared disk, heterogeneous shared tape, clustered servers, dynamic tape allocation, LAN-free backup A LAN-free backup is a backup of server data to a shared, central storage device without sending the data over the local area network (LAN). It is usually achieved by using a storage area network (SAN). , and LUN management--a solution that enables companies to achieve cost-saving, high-speed, high performance data access and storage management capabilities. Datalink will demonstrate its open systems expertise by integrating industry-leading technologies from ATL (Active Template Library) A set of software routines from Microsoft that provide the basic framework for creating ActiveX and COM objects. Stemming from the standard template library (STL) that comes with C++ compilers, ATL includes an object wizard that sets up , BROCADE, Emulex, Hitachi Data Systems See HDS. , JNI (Java Native Interface) A programming interface (API) in Sun's Java Virtual Machine used for calling native platform elements such as GUI routines. RNI (Raw Native Interface) is the JNI counterpart in Microsoft's Java Virtual Machine. JNI - Java Native Interface , MetaStor, and VERITAS Software in a multi-platform environment. During exhibit hours, a Datalink SAN expert will be available to answer questions and discuss the company's information storage infrastructures. In addition, Datalink's Chief Technology Officer, Scott Robinson, will present a tutorial entitled "Enterprise Heterogeneous SAN Deployment: A Case Study," to conference attendees. Scheduled from 12 - 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, October 12th, the tutorial presents the evolution of storage area networks from departmental, homogeneous environments to enterprise class, heterogeneous deployments. Attendees will learn about: shared storage including consolidation and LUN management and on-the-fly storage scaling; LAN-free backup issues including library sharing, dynamic allocation of tape resources, and migration to server-free backup; high availability/clustering including I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output path fail-over and multi-node clustering configurations; and business continuance issues including remote vaulting, remote mirroring, and wide area clustering. FCTC 2000, held October 10-12 at the San Jose Convention Center, provides practical information on Fibre Channel system-related design issues including storage area networks, and more.
