Nishan Systems Unveils SoIP, Native IP Storage Switches.Nishan Systems, the. developer of next-generation Storage over IP (SoIP) technology, has introduced a new class of wire-speed native IP storage switches and a suite of sophisticated storage management software to configure and monitor large-scale storage networks. The IPS (1) (Inches Per Second) The measurement of the speed of tape passing by a read/write head or paper passing through a pen plotter. (2) (IPS) (Intrusion Prevention S 3000 Series, IPS 2000 Series, and IPS 1000 Series combine wire speed Gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 Gbps. Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub. performance and interoperability with 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. and Fibre Channel to enable companies to build standards-based, manageable storage networks. The SANvergence Management Suite software includes SANvergence Manager, Configuration Manager, and Element Manager. The IPS 3000 Series IP Storage Switches are used for connecting Fibre Channel end systems, such as serves and storage devices, to SoIP. They can also be used to connect existing Fibre Channel SANs to each other or to native IP SANs. The 2000 Series Storage Switches connect SCSI end systems to SoIP, while the 1000 Series Storage Gateways are used for connecting IP or Fibre Channel SANs over lossy See lossy compression. (algorithm) lossy - A term describing a data compression algorithm which actually reduces the amount of information in the data, rather than just the number of bits used to represent that information. , congested con·gest·ed adj. Affected with or characterized by congestion. congested ENT adjective Referring to a boggy blood-filled tissue. See Nasal congestion. networks, as they have highly robust WAN facilities. The SANvergence Management Suite. is comprised of software management tools used to manage an IP storage fabric consisting of Nishan's swiches and gateways. The graphical interfaces See GUI. of these tools simplify the setup of the IPS family through their intuitive displays. With the power of SoIP's interoperability, Nishan's technology is poised to fundamentally alter the market landscape for storage area networking, opening new multi-billion dollar markets and application categories. Nishan's IPS 2000 and 3000 Series switches are available now, with prices starting at under $10,000. |
