Mylex To Preview Web Array Manager At Comdex, Las Vegas.FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 4, 1998-- Mylex Comdex Suite to Feature Live Technology Demonstrations of Industry's Broadest Line of RAID Controllers A disk controller card that supports one or more RAID configurations. Originally only for SCSI drives, RAID controllers have become very popular for PATA and SATA drives. See RAID. , Spanning Entry Level to Enterprise Class Mylex Corporation (Nasdaq:MYLX), the world's leading RAID controller vendor in the non-captive network systems marketplace, will provide Comdex attendees a sneak preview sneak preview n. A single public showing of a movie before its general release. Noun 1. sneak preview - a preview to test audience reactions of the company's next generation Java-based enterprise RAID management software, Web Array Manager (WAM WAM - Intermediate language for compiled Prolog, used by the Warren Abstract Machine. "An Abstract Prolog Instruction Set", D.H.D. Warren, TR 309, SRI 1983. ). The WAM technology preview will be part of Mylex's Enterprise Storage Technology Showcase, hosted at the Comdex Convention Center Room N253, Nov. 16 through 20. "RAID manageability is becoming an increasingly important consideration for corporate IT departments," said Scott Cleland, Mylex senior product manager. "WAM builds upon Mylex's award-winning Global Array Manager (GAM) software, which ships standard with every Mylex RAID controller. With WAM and GAM, Mylex offers the industry's most comprehensive set of RAID management tools." WAM raises the bar in RAID management by incorporating a Web-enabled browser interface and a completely re-designed management console A terminal or workstation used to monitor and control a network. See Microsoft Management Console. . WAM enables RAID systems across the enterprise to be monitored, tuned and configured remotely over the Internet or corporate Intranet. WAM allows administrators to remotely manage several aspects of their RAID systems. The software supports numerous fault tolerant The ability to continue non-stop when a hardware failure occurs. A fault-tolerant system is designed from the ground up for reliability by building multiples of all critical components, such as CPUs, memories, disks and power supplies into the same computer. and high-availability features, including on-line RAID capacity expansion, online RAID level migration, drive cloning, and remote cluster management. Mylex to Demonstrate Industry's Broadest Line of RAID Controllers Mylex will demonstrate the industry's most complete line of high performance, highly fault-tolerant RAID solutions at Comdex. Mylex's product line provides support for all the latest disk drive interface technologies, including Ultra SCSI The designation for various high-speed SCSI interfaces. The original specification was Ultra SCSI, followed by Ultra2, Ultra3, etc. For details, see SCSI. , Ultra2 SCSI See Ultra SCSI. LVD See LVDS. LVD - Low Voltage Differential and Fibre Channel. Mylex product and solution demonstration stations, in addition to WAM, will include: AcceleRAID 150 -- An affordable entry-level RAID adapter for workgroup servers and high-performance desktops and workstations. The adapter supports the latest Ultra2 SCSI LVD technology plus the new Intel SHV SHV Shareholder Value SHV Standard High Volume SHV Sheave SHV Steenkolen Handels Vereeniging SHV Shreveport, LA, USA - Regional Airport (Airport Code) SHV Sport Horse Versatility SHV Supersonic/Hypersonic Vehicle SHV Super Hybrid Vehicle motherboards which feature on-board 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. . AcceleRAID 250 -- An affordable single channel RAID adapter for entry level and mid-range servers. The adapter supports the latest Ultra2 SCSI LVD technology plus the new Intel SHV motherboards which feature on-board SCSI. eXtremeRAID -- The world's fastest enterprise-class RAID controller, featuring 64-bit PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). , sustained data transfer rates of up to 80 MB/sec, and supporting scalable single-server capacities up to 810 GB. Storage Area Networks -- Will feature the DACFF and DACFL external Fibre Channel RAID controllers, which are key enablers of a Storage Area Network. The controllers provide high speed, continuous access to data and support the creation of extremely large, multi-terabyte storage systems. DACFF -- This new external Fibre-to-Fibre RAID controller supports four disk channels which can be configured as two dual loops in a Storage Area Network environment. Each controller connects up to 500 devices and supports up to 9 terabytes of storage. DACFL -- A four-channel external Fibre-to-UltraSCSI RAID controller. Each controller connects up to 60 devices and supports capacities up to 1.08 terabytes. Pricing and Availability Mylex Web Array Manager ships standard at no added cost with every Mylex RAID controller. The software will ship in the first quarter of 1999.
