NEC selects Emulex InSpeed for enterprise-level storage solutions.Emulex Corporation, the industry's preeminent pre·em·i·nent or pre-em·i·nent adj. Superior to or notable above all others; outstanding. See Synonyms at dominant, noted. [Middle English, from Latin prae source for a broad range of advanced storage networking infrastructure solutions announced recently that NEC (NEC Corporation, Tokyo, www.nec.com, www.necus.com) An electronics conglomerate known in the U.S. for its monitors. In Japan, it had the lion's share of the PC market until the late 1990s (see PC 98). NEC was founded in Tokyo in 1899 as Nippon Electric Company, Ltd. Corporation has implemented the award-winning Emulex InSpeed embedded Inserted into. See embedded system. storage switching technology into its new NEC iStorage S4900 Series of enterprise storage solutions. With this deal, NEC has standardized standardized pertaining to data that have been submitted to standardization procedures. standardized morbidity rate see morbidity rate. standardized mortality rate see mortality rate. on Emulex InSpeed technology throughout its entire iStorage SAN product line--including the entry-level, midrange midrange Epidemiology The halfway point or midpoint in a set of observations; for most data, MR is calculated as the sum of the smallest observation and the largest observation, divided by 2; for age data, one is added to the numerator; a midrange is usually and now enterprise storage solutions. InSpeed allows NEC to create an "SBOD SBOD Switched Bunch of Disks (storage networking) SBOD Student Board of Directors SBOD Spinning Beachball of Doom (Mac OS X) SBOD Settlement Balance Order Destined application," which improves the reliability and performance of its storage solutions by bringing 2Gb/ s switched connectivity to each individual disk drive within the storage array. By simplifying the delivery of point-to-point switched connectivity to the individual drives in the storage array, InSpeed also enables new diagnostic and preventative maintenance capabilities. "With its unique back-end architecture, the Emulex InSpeed technology already has delivers enhanced reliability, availability and serviceability Reliability, Availability and Serviceability is a computer hardware engineering term. It originated from IBM to advertise the robustness of their mainframe computers. The concept is often known by the acronym RAS. to our midrange and SME (1) (Small and Medium-sized Enterprise) See SMB. (2) (Subject Matter Expert) An individual who is well-versed in the policies and procedures of a particular department or division. iStorage series products," said Kazuyuki Fujiwara, Senior Manager of System File Products Division, NEC Corporation. "It makes perfect sense to extend this cost-effective technology to all of our customers, therefore we've integrated InSpeed across our entire iStorage SAN products line, including our newest enterprise products, too." InSpeed Embedded Storage Switches have now become the industry standard for connecting disk drives in the back-end of storage systems. The InSpeed SOC 320 is Emulex's latest generation of 2 Gb/s embedded storage switch technology, incorporating a host of innovative features and functionality that are an outgrowth of Emulex's years of experience in helping solution providers integrate advanced switching architectures into their disk arrays. The NEC iStorage Model S4900 series products combine the benefits of the InSpeed SOC 320 with additional state-of-the art technologies such as disk drives carrying rotational speeds Rotational speed (sometimes called speed of revolution) indicates, for example, how fast a motor is running. Rotational speed is equivalent to angular speed, but with different units. Rotational speed tells how many complete rotations (i.e. of up to 15,000 RPM, a 192GB/s internal data transfer rate with enhanced Crossbar technology, advanced diagnostic capabilities that enable preventive disk drive maintenance. The NEC iStorage Model S4900 series products are designed establish a new standard in the level of capabilities available in enterprise-level storage solutions. "What a remarkable validation it is to have NEC utilize our InSpeed technology in all its storage solutions, regardless of system size," said Mike Smith, executive vice president of worldwide marketing, Emulex Corporation. "This design win underscores the broad applications that can be enhanced through switched back-end architectures. With the introduction of the iStorage S4900 series storage solutions, NEC has built on the success achieved through its SME and mid-range SAN applications to now extend the most advanced functionality and performance available to its enterprise-level customers." |
