It is headquartered in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, USA. today announced a major expansion of its E-Infostructure(TM) Developers Program, the storage industry's most comprehensive open software integration initiative. The expanded program will now give customers access to additional third party software tools integrated with a full range of 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. solutions through new programming interfaces. The initiative, which began in 1999 with programming interfaces for EMC's Symmetrix(R) systems and software, now enables developers to customize their software to utilize key management and protection features of EMC's family of CLARiiON(R) systems and software and Celerra(R) Network File Servers. There are now 75 vendors -- ranging from the world's largest database, backup and management companies to specialized spe·cial·ize v. spe·cial·ized, spe·cial·iz·ing, spe·cial·iz·es v.intr. 1.

More than 40 products with EMC-specific features or functions are currently available from these companies. Software AG, Europe's largest systems software vendor and a leading provider of XML XML in full Extensible Markup Language.

"Our integration efforts with EMC will allow our many common customers and new prospects to gain faster access and higher availability for their XML data stored in EMC systems," said Alf Goebel, Vice President of Global Alliances for Software AG. "EMC is an innovative and leading storage vendor and the Tamino platform is the leading XML storage solution on the market. Our combined efforts will improve storage functionality and enhance access to Internet Internet Publicly accessible computer network connecting many smaller networks from around the world. It grew out of a U.S. Defense Department program called ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network), established in 1969 with connections between computers at the and other data." EMC is now providing access to Command Line Interfaces (CLIs) for its CLARiiON and Celerra systems to independent software vendors (ISVs) and others who will be able to develop and market versions of their products and applications that can control specific features and functions of these EMC solutions. By sharing its programming interfaces with other vendors, EMC is helping customers take full advantage EMC's leading features and functionality, while eliminating costly, time-consuming application creation or customization and testing. Don Swatik, EMC's Vice President of Global Alliances, said, "For nearly two years, we've opened up our leading architecture to some of the world's best companies and the end result has been more choice for customers. EMC systems, by design, are the most open in the market today, supporting more operating systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. , applications and third-party software than all of our competitors combined. This expansion gives customers even more tools that they can seamlessly integrate into their EMC information infrastructure." The new developer kits now available to E-Infostructure Developers Program members include: -- CLARiiON Management CLI: The CLARiiON Management CLI Development Kit contains command line interface software and documentation for software that manages and monitors CLARiiON disk-array storage systems. The kit is available for Windows NT, Windows 2000, Solaris, HP/UX, and AIX operating systems. -- CLARiiON SnapView(TM) CLI: The CLARiiON SnapView CLI Development Kit contains command line interface routines, software and documentation for software that creates and controls LUN snapshots on CLARiiON FC 4700 Fibre Channel disk-array storage systems. The snapshots can be used for independent data analysis or backup. -- Celerra Management CLI: The Celerra Management CLI Development Kit contains command line interface software and documentation for software that manages and monitors Celerra NAS (network attached storage) systems.
