JMR Electronics Inc. and ICP vortex Corp. Provide High-Performance RAID Subsystem Components.CHATSWORTH, Calif./PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 15, 1999-- JMR JMR Journal of Magnetic Resonance JMR Journal of Marine Research JMR Jason Microwave Radiometer JMR Joint Movement Request (US Army transportation) JMR Junk E-Mail Reporting (Microsoft program) Electronics Inc. and ICP (1) (Internet Cache Protocol) A protocol used by one proxy server to query another for a cached Web page without having to go to the Internet to retrieve it. See CARP and proxy server. vortex Corp. announced today that they have partnered to offer RAID storage solutions based on JMR's popular FORTRA(TM) disk array enclosures and ICP vortex's new 64-Bit Ultra2 SCSI and Fibre Channel PCI-bus RAID controllers. The two companies have been performing ongoing testing to assure the SAF-TE/SES monitoring and reporting systems are fully compatible, and the companies have benchmark data available for review by interested parties. "JMR and ICP formed a technology and interoperability partnership years ago, and together provided the first real SAF-TE SAF-TE SCSI Access Fault-Tolerant Enclosure compatible storage products," said Steve Katz, vice president of sales and marketing for JMR. "We work closely with ICP vortex in developing the firmware and software required for expanded SAF-TE protocol, to provide customers with improved functionality of the enclosure reporting system. Their newest line of PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). RAID controllers is among the best on the market and we recommend ICP vortex's products when customers inquire about host-based RAID systems using JMR for storage expansion." "ICP and JMR have enjoyed a long-established technology partnership, which has created many high-quality performance-leading RAID solutions for our mutual customers," agreed Ken Radke, vice president of sales for ICP vortex Corp. "The combination of the new ICP 64-Bit RAID controllers and JMR's new FORTRA(TM) enclosures insure the continuation of the quality RAID solutions our mutual customers have come to trust." JMR offers FORTRA(TM) multi-disk drive enclosures to suit a wide variety of needs, from tiny 2-bay desktop products to the "flagship" 10-bay 3U rackmount and tower units that feature total fault tolerance. Using PCI-bus (host-based) RAID controllers, the FORTRA(TM) becomes a non-O/S dependant high-availability, fault-tolerant storage subsystem using either a Fibre Arbitrated Loop or LVD Ultra2/Ultra3 SCSI SCSI in full Small Computer System Interface Once common standard for connecting peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, etc.) to small and medium-sized computers. SCSI has given way to faster standards, such as Firewire and USB. drive channel. "The ICP GDT-RN (PCI to Fibre) and GDT-RD (PCI to Ultra2 SCSI) RAID controllers offer industry-leading performance, when used with the FORTRA(TM) enclosures and compatible disk drives, with 123 Mb/s Reads and 102 Mb/s Writesthe Fibre Channel products.
