Announce IBM TotalStorage® SAN Volume Controller for Cisco MDS 9000 Solution

New York & San Jose, October 22, 2003 -- Cisco and IBM today introduced a jointly developed solution designed to help customers further drive down the costs and complexity of managing data by providing them flexible, storage area networking (SAN) options to improve storage resource utilization. The solution is based on the IBM TotalStorage® SAN Volume Controller storage software which has been tailored to be hosted on the Cisco MDS 9000 Multilayer Intelligent Family of SAN directors and fabric switches. The new solution allows customers to administer volume management, data replication, and point-in-time copies directly from the network, giving them a single point of control and management across multiple storage subsystems.
