Xtend SAN iSCSI Initiator PARSIPPANY, N.J. -- RELDATA Inc., the innovative provider of modular, universal IP storage systems, today announced that its RELDATA IP Storage Gateway 9200 has successfully completed interoperability testing with the ATTO Xtend SAN iSCSI initiator package for Mac([R]). ATTO Technology ATTO Technology is a manufacturer of storage connectivity and infrastructure solutions for data-intensive computing environments. ATTO manufactures host adapters, interface-bridging appliances, Virtual Tape Library appliances, RAID appliances, and management software with storage , Inc. is a global leader of storage connectivity and infrastructure solutions for data-intensive computing environments. Organizations with Apple Mac([R]) OS X client/server infrastructures can immediately benefit from certified blazing-fast modular IP SAN solutions with improvements in the cost, operating distance, and manageability of their distributed storage networks. "The ATTO RELDATA certification provides a new generation of enterprise-class IP storage solutions to Apple Mac OS X users," states Ed Tierney, director of marketing for ATTO Technology. "Teaming up with RELDATA offers our common partners and customers an easy and affordable way to extend Apple Mac OS X platforms with a pre-certified high-performance iSCSI SAN facilitating an enterprise-wide consolidation of their database and operating system storage." The ATTO Xtend SAN iSCSI initiator package is designed to extend Apple Mac OS X platforms with a reliable iSCSI connectivity to industry-standard IP SANs, using standard network interface cards (NICs). It provides Apple Mac OS X infrastructures with application storage access via existing Ethernet networks, enabling storage centralization and consolidation at an extremely affordable price. Used in combination with the RELDATA IP Storage Gateway 9200, it enables Apple Mac OS X infrastructures to be leveraged with a modular, universal RELDATA IP Storage solution. RELDATA's IP Storage virtualization appliance provides truly parallel high-speed iSCSI SAN and NAS (1) See network access server. (2) (Network Attached Storage) A specialized file server that connects to the network. A NAS device contains a slimmed-down operating system and a file system and processes only I/O requests by supporting the popular access to shared storage resources, combining this with superior remote replication and data-recovery functionality on both block- and file-level. The open storage interoperability allows users to consolidate industry-standard Fibre Channel, 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 iSCSI storage resources into one single virtualized storage volume pool. RELDATA's powerful virtualization technology also makes it simple for system administrators to tailor RELDATA IP storage solutions to their needs - whether it's high performance transactional database or vital applications like e-mail, web, CRM (Customer Relationship Management) An integrated information system that is used to plan, schedule and control the presales and postsales activities in an organization. or ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) An integrated information system that serves all departments within an enterprise. Evolving out of the manufacturing industry, ERP implies the use of packaged software rather than proprietary software written by or for one customer. solutions.
