Mountain View Data Joins Intel in First Public Multi Vendor iSCSI Storage Demonstration.Business/High Tech Editors PALM SPRINGS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 9 , 2001 Mountain View Data, Inc., a leading developer of networked storage software, announces the first public multi-vendor, interoperable demonstration of Internet 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. , or iSCSI (transport protocol for SCSI that operates on top of TCP/IP TCP/IP in full Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Standard Internet communications protocols that allow digital computers to communicate over long distances. ) which will occur at Storage Networking World Storage Networking World (commonly called SNW) is a for data storage professionals in the United States. Sponsored by Computerworld and the Storage Networking Industry Association, SNW is held twice each year. in Palm Desert, April 9-11 and will also occur at IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. Conference on Mass Storage in San Diego, April 17-20. Mountain View Data's contributing product to the demonstration, LinuxDisk, bridges the gap between legacy block devices and IP Storage. The demonstration showcases a collection of videos stored on iSCSI targets from multiple vendors and streamed to iSCSI clients for viewing. Ciprico and NetConvergence are also participating vendors in this demonstration. The most significant contribution of iSCSI is leveraging existing IP infrastructures. iSCSI instantly transforms an arbitrary IP network (LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. , MAN or WAN) into a Storage Area Network (SAN). This effort demonstrates the promise of the iSCSI transport protocol and the industry products now available to support this cost-effective IP storage technology. "Mountain View Data is leading the way with high performance storage target software for next generation SANs, and are pleased to have an opportunity to demonstrate interoperability of iSCSI in our framework." said Dr. Peter J. Braam, CTO (Chief Technical Officer) The executive responsible for the technical direction of an organization. See CIO and salary survey. of Mountain View Data.
