Troika Networks to Participate in Storage World Conference Panel on Fabric-Based Intelligence in Enterprise SANs; VP of Marketing Steve O'Brian to Outline Benefits of Fabric-Based Solutions.WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif. -- Troika Networks, Inc., the leading provider of network-based storage services solutions and enabling technologies, announced today that Vice President of Marketing Steve O'Brian will participate in a panel discussion, "Fabric-based Intelligence -- Is this the Right Time?," on Wednesday, June 8, from 3-3:55 pm at the upcoming Storage World Conference, June 7-9, at the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, Calif. This interactive roundtable will discuss the different approaches for bringing fabric-based intelligence to enterprise SAN environments; which applications, like 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. , volume management and replication In database management, the ability to keep distributed databases synchronized by routinely copying the entire database or subsets of the database to other servers in the network. There are various replication methods. , make the most sense to run inside the fabric; and the opportunities and hurdles that impact market adoption.

"A common theme across all enterprise customers is the clear need to reduce complexity within their storage environments in order to keep pace with the constant evolution of managing and protecting an ever-increasing amount of information," said Steve O'Brian, vice president of marketing, Troika Networks. "Moving storage services off of hosts and arrays and into the network is a huge enabler for simplification. Troika solutions take simplification several steps further in comparison to other fabric-based offerings by providing the only highly-scalable, SAN-agnostic solution that allows customers to add new storage services to their existing infrastructure, dramatically reducing the cost and complexity of deployment." Continuing its commitment to provide the market with powerful, advanced storage management and data protection solutions, Troika recently announced the availability of Troika SAN Volume Suite (SVS SVS - OS/VS2 ). Troika SVS combines StoreAge Networking Technologies' 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) (TM) software and Troika's exclusive Accelera NSS (Novell Storage Services) A 64-bit file system introduced with NetWare 5 that can support terabyte-sized files. NSS files and standard NetWare files can be used in the same server. See NetWare 5. 1. (networking) NSS - Nodal Switching System. Platform, purpose-built for accelerating and optimizing applications, into a highly integrated, simple-to-deploy fabric-based solution, giving customers unprecedented flexibility in deploying and expanding storage services, while leveraging their existing infrastructure investment. Troika SVS is able to provide unprecedented acceleration and optimization optimization Field of applied mathematics whose principles and methods are used to solve quantitative problems in disciplines including physics, biology, engineering, and economics. of storage services because of its split path (SPAID)-based architecture. As the industry's first SPAID storage area network solution, Troika SVS optimizes data-intensive operations through accelerating storage services directly in hardware and separating the control path from the data path. This approach enables high-performance, highly scalable SAN implementations.
