SBE Inc., (NASDAQ:SBEI), a leading provider of
high-performance IP-based networking solutions for next-generation
storage and communications systems, today announced that two storage
equipment providers, Silicon Mechanics and Genstor Systems, have
chosen to license and integrate SBE's PyX iSCSI target software into
their Internet Protocol (IP) based storage area network (SAN) systems.
Silicon Mechanics is integrating SBE's PyX iSCSI target software
into its Rackform Storage Server Series. A leading integrator of
rack-optimized servers, storage and high performance computing
products, Silicon Mechanics allows its customers to select from
standard or custom system configurations tailored to uniquely meet any
computing environment.
"After months of in-depth product evaluation and testing with
SBE's PyX iSCSI target and initiator software, we are confident that
the PyX iSCSI is ideally-suited for addressing the demanding
application needs of our diverse customer base," said Jack Kintz, Vice
President, Product Development of Silicon Mechanics. "Many factors
contributed to our final selection of SBE's iSCSI software over
competitive products, including its ease of use, full error recovery,
multipathing functionality, and complete interoperability."
Genstor Systems is utilizing SBE's iSCSI solutions into its series
of Intel Xeon and AMD Opteron based IP SAN storage servers.
Specializing in the customization of systems that suit the unique
requirements of specific market sectors, the Genstor team has served
fortune 500 corporations, small-to-medium sized businesses (SMBs),
educational institutions, and the government.
"Given the advanced networking features and superior performance
of SBE's iSCSI target software, we've decided to proactively offer our
customers iSCSI solutions based around it," remarked Kedar Rajadnya,
Vice President of Business Development at Genstor Systems. "We expect
that incorporating SBE's reliable, feature-rich iSCSI stack will
significantly enhance the iSCSI functionality and performance
available with our storage servers. Our customers will also have the
added benefit of downloading SBE's highly stable open source initiator
to utilize with our target offerings."
"We look forward to working closely with Silicon Mechanics and
Genstor Systems during the integration, testing, and launch of their
next generation IP SAN appliances," commented Nelson Abal, Vice
President of Sales at SBE. "These wins further support and advance the
traction that our innovative iSCSI software solutions are gaining in
the marketplace. We are pleased to see that our sales efforts to seed
the market over the past six to eight months is beginning to show
returns," continued Abal.
Both the Silicon Mechanics (www.siliconmechanics.com) and Genstor
Systems (www.genstor.com) storage equipment featuring SBE's PyX iSCSI
software will be available within the first quarter of 2006.
PyX iSCSI Protocol Stack
The advanced features designed into the architecture of the PyX
iSCSI protocol stack enables efficient and cost-effective storage
transport by optimizing bandwidth usage, enabling unlimited storage to
be attached to each target device, and leveraging existing network
technologies. The iSCSI technology, fully compliant with the IETF RFC
3270 standard, enables an enterprise-level IP storage platform that
transports data to and from networked storage with full error recovery
(ERL2), automatic load balancing, and multi-path capabilities
previously available only in costly Fibre Channel architectures.
Because of the ubiquity of IP networks, iSCSI transmits data from any
storage (SATA/SAS/SCSI, Fibre Channel/etc.) over LANs, WANs, or the
Internet and enables location independent data storage and retrieval.
