Intransa’s IP SAN Earns Solaris Ready™ Certification; Becomes Sun iForce Partner
Intransa’s IP5000 approved for use with Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 Operating Systems
SAN JOSE, Calif. – May 24, 2004
Intransa, a leader in intelligent information storage, delivery, and management over IP, today announced that the company’s IP SAN IP5000 platform has passed Sun Microsystems’ (Nasdaq: SUNW) “Solaris Ready” certification process and has become a Sun iForce partner. The certification along with Intransa’s participation in Sun’s iForce go-to-market program makes it easy for network managers to integrate Intransa’s native IP storage solution into current and future Solaris-based networks.
The IP5000 has been certified for both Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 on Sun’s UltraSparc 64-bit processor. Intransa is also participating in the Early Release program for Solaris 10. With the support of Solaris 8 and Solaris 9, Intransa continues to broaden its platform offerings for IP5000 customers. Among the core features tested were Volume Virtualization, Dynamic Volume Expansion, and Snapshot.
“As the only native IP storage solution on the market, we are able to deliver a far richer palate of end-user benefits than any other IP-based storage vendor,” said Linda Arens, Director Business Development of Intransa. “With this Sun certification, Intransa now extends IP5000’s full range benefits to Solaris end-users.”
“We are pleased to see Intransa as part of our iForce family and see them be Solaris Ready certified. The IP5000 provides storage virtualization and scalability using iSCSI and IP based on stability and performance of Sun Solaris operating system” said Jamshed Doctor, Sr. Manager iForce Solutions Center, Sun Microsystems. “Customers can now benefit from the innovation of Intransa’s IP SAN IP5000 system with the confidence provided by Solaris’ stable and fast server platform.”
Intransa’s IP SAN IP5000 introduces a sophisticated architecture and management software that enables customers to easily add storage capacity from 2 to 24 terabytes (TB) and consolidate high volume e-mail and collaborative environments such as Microsoft Exchange, databases, backup and restore applications and other mission-critical data management and disaster recovery applications. The IP SAN provides IT administrators an attractive alternative to expensive Fibre Channel components since the Intransa IP SAN leverages network infrastructures that already exist in the data center. The Intransa IP SAN also provides excellent data management and reliability.
