Finisar's NetWisdom Enterprise Earns IBM System Storage Proven(R)
Designation
SUNNYVALE, CA, Sep 17, 2007 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) --
A world leader in high-speed communications testing and monitoring technology,
Finisar Corporation (NASDAQ: FNSR) today announced that its NetWisdom(R)
Enterprise products have successfully completed interoperability testing
with a broad spectrum of IBM's System Storage products and have been confirmed
as IBM System Storage Proven(R). The IBM System Storage Proven program
builds on IBM's already extensive interoperability efforts to develop
and deliver products and solutions that work together with third-party
products that represent best practice in storage.
"Finisar's NetWisdom Enterprise family provides complete visibility
into Enterprise Storage Area Network (SAN) operation. It enables enterprise
storage organizations to quickly get to the bottom of real and perceived
SAN issues," said Paul Hansen, vice president of marketing at Finisar.
"Our participation in IBM's System Storage Proven program demonstrates
that Finisar and IBM are committed to providing the highest quality solution
for SAN performance and availability management."
NetWisdom Enterprise is a family of SAN monitoring and analysis solutions
that increase application availability and optimize performance in enterprise
storage environments. NetWisdom Enterprise eliminates 'fabric blindness,'
the inability to understand traffic flows, outages, and slowdowns that
increasingly plague today's complex, multi-vendor data centers.
Finisar's comprehensive product suite includes NetWisdom software, Fibre
Channel probes, enterprise rovers, Xgig(R) protocol analyzers, and high
density optical traffic analysis points (TAPs). These products provide
real-time and historical insight into application latency, bandwidth consumption,
load balancing, and other performance metrics. NetWisdom provides early
detection of link and device failures, congestion, errors, and advanced
notification of other SAN problems. These issues, if undetected, can cause
network downtime, application slowdown, and ultimately revenue loss for
global enterprises.
The IBM System Storage Proven program recognizes the ability of independent
hardware and software vendors to build high-quality storage solutions
with the latest technology. IBM System Storage Proven testing enables
enterprise storage operators to reduce SAN design time and deploy best
practice solutions by using IBM pre-tested building blocks.
Extensive testing done through the IBM System Storage Proven program demonstrates
interoperability of the NetWisdom solution with IBM System Storage SAN
Volume Controller (SVC), IBM System Storage DS4000, IBM System Storage
DS6000, and IBM System Storage DS8000 series products. NetWisdom Enterprise,
industry's unique SAN performance and availability management solution,
can now be deployed with IBM System Storage products to maximize the performance
and availability of Enterprise SAN infrastructures.
