Compaq has announced support for its complete line of SANWorks Enterprise Storage Management Software products on Sun Solaris platforms. It says this move reaffirms its commitment to delivering open SAN.
Compaq`s SANworks and StorageWorks product lines now both support Solaris environments, and are available to Sun resellers to help customers build open SAN infrastructures based on Compaq NonStop eBusiness solutions.
SANWorks software with Solaris 7.0 support includes Storage Resource Manager, Enterprise Volume Manager, Data Replication Manager, Secure Path and more.
Solaris 7.0 support is currently available for StorageWorks RA8000 and ESA12000 RAID arrays using Ultra SCSI, Fibre Channel Fabric, and Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop. The new MA8000 and EMA12000 RAID arrays also support Solaris 7.0 with Fibre Channel Fabric and Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop attachment.
"Sun resellers and customers who have Sun servers installed or planned can now embrace the business advantages offered by Compaq`s Open SAN solutions," says Howard Elias, VP and GM of Compaq Storage Products Division.
"We want these customers to receive the same benefits in their Solaris environments as they receive in Compaq Windows NT/2000, Tru64 Unix and Open VMS environments. Accelerated business efficiency, flexibility and delivery of information are all made possible through Open SAN accessibility."
