Sanbolic Announces Support of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 X64 Editions

Posted on: Tuesday, 31 October 2006, 09:00 CST

Sanbolic, Inc., a leading developer of software to simplify and share Storage Area Networks (SANs), today announced support for Microsoft Windows Server 2003 x64 Editions.

Sanbolic's Melio file system and LaScala volume manager enable end-users to aggregate multiple storage arrays into a centrally managed pool of storage and provide multiple Windows work stations or servers concurrent read-and-write access to data over Fibre Channel or iSCSI connections. Production applications using Microsoft Virtual Server 2005, multi-node Windows Storage Server 2003 applications, high-availability applications using Microsoft Clustering Services, and Input and Output (I/O) intensive installations will benefit from having shared access to data on a SAN from the 64-bit Windows Server 2003 platform.

"We expect a rapid transition to Windows Server 2003 for 64-bit computing as customers utilize the capability of 64-bit servers to migrate critical applications onto Windows platforms," said Dr. Claude Lorenson, group product manager, Storage Technologies at Microsoft Corp. "Sanbolic's clustered file system, which is closely integrated with Microsoft Windows Server technology, enhances the capability of these systems by providing flexible shared access to large shared SAN storage systems."

Sanbolic software currently supports Microsoft Windows Server 2000, Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft Windows Vista, and Microsoft Windows Server 2003, including Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2. Sanbolic distributes its product solutions worldwide through a network of distributors, original equipment manufacturers, value-added resellers and system integrators.

Sanbolic will demonstrate clustered file system solutions on Microsoft Windows 2003 platforms in the Microsoft Pavilion (PPV1) Booth #8 at Storage Networking World in Orlando October 31- Nov 3.
