StoreAge Announces First and Only SPAID-Optimized Storage Services Application Software; Split-Path Data Protection Software Available for SPAID Hardware Platforms.IRVINE, Calif. -- StoreAge Networking Technologies, an innovator in enterprise SAN storage management and advanced multi-tiered data protection solutions, is shipping the industry's only split-path, SPAID-optimized storage services application. The company has been a leader in split-path, distributed architectures for the past five years, introducing the first distributed virtualization An umbrella term for enhancing a computer's ability to do work. Following are the ways virtualization is used. Hardware Virtualization Partitioning the computer's memory into separate and isolated "virtual machines" simulates multiple machines within one physical computer. product in 2000. Now, with industry-wide adoption of SPAID hardware platforms Each hardware platform, or CPU family, has a unique machine language. All software presented to the computer for execution must be in the binary coded machine language of that CPU. Following is a list of the major hardware platforms in existence today. See platform. , StoreAge is offering the first and only SPAID-optimized storage services software application to take advantage of the emerging SPAID hardware products. SPAID architectures are used to create intelligent, network-based SAN storage management and data protection solutions. The Split-Path architecture separates the I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output path from the management path to provide higher performance and greater scalability of the solution. It is analogous to the use of multiple CPUs in servers to create multiple processing paths. However, much like multi-processor servers require multi-threaded applications, SPAID hardware requires SPAID-optimized applications, such as StoreAge's SVM SVM Support Vector Machines SVM School of Veterinary Medicine SVM Solaris Volume Manager SVM Space Vector Modulation SVM Storage Virtualization Manager (StoreAge) SVM Service Module (also abbreviated as S/M) suite of SAN management and data protection storage services. "StoreAge has been a technology leader in architecting SAN-based, high performance, scalable storage management and data protection storage services that separate the data-path and the management-path", said Marc Staimer, president of Dragon Slayer Dragon Slayer is an action role-playing game developed by the Nihon Falcom Corporation. It was originally released in 1984 for the NEC PC-88; it was followed by an MSX port published by Squaresoft in 1986 and a Game Boy port by Epoch in 1990. Consulting. "As the industry deploys SPAID infrastructures, StoreAge is an ideal candidate to provide key software components." Last year, StoreAge introduced its StoreAge-Enabled program to help technology partners port the StoreAge software to their hardware and software environments. To date, there are over two dozen industry leaders in the program and each are in various stages of porting and development. Several products are released and available for shipment today. The Troika SAN Volume Suite (SVS SVS - OS/VS2 ) is a combination of the StoreAge family of storage services and the Accelera SPAID-based Network Storage Services Processor (NSSP NSSP National Shellfish Sanitation Program NSSP Next Steps in Strategic Partnership (US-India bilateral diplomacy initative) NSSP National Strategy for Suicide Prevention NSSP Nava Sama Samaja Party NSSP National Student Safety Program ). iVivity Inc. is shipping the iDiSX ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Pronounced "a-sick." A chip that is custom designed for a specific application rather than a general-purpose chip such as a microprocessor. processors with the StoreAge software running inside the ASIC processors themselves. Users of the StoreAge SPAID solutions gain full access to StoreAge's award-winning family of data protection storage services - multiView (data snapshot), multiCopy (full-sized replication and data migration), multiMirror (local and remote mirroring), and volume management. The proven solutions are installed in over 25 countries worldwide. "Customers are especially excited by the flexibility and scalability this architecture gives them," said Mark Spowart, president of StoreAge Networking Technologies. "They can implement tiered storage solutions independent of servers, operating systems and storage devices. The performance of a split-path architecture allows them to expand at will while retaining centralized, enterprise-wide management." About StoreAge Networking Technologies StoreAge Networking Technologies is an innovative developer and provider of enterprise storage management solutions that centralize and simplify storage network administration. StoreAge network-based solutions provide a uniform, SAN-wide method for provisioning storage, ensuring business continuity, enabling cost-effective disaster recovery, and centrally managing cross-platform, multi-vendor storage environments. StoreAge's flagship product, SVM(TM) (Storage Virtualization Manager), has been successfully deployed worldwide, gaining exceptional success in managing storage in a wide variety of application environments including databases, OLTP (OnLine Transaction Processing) See transaction processing and OLCP. OLTP - On-Line Transaction Processing , e-mail, 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. , CRM (Customer Relationship Management) An integrated information system that is used to plan, schedule and control the presales and postsales activities in an organization. , video, and many others.
