Interphase Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters Part of Virtual Storage Innovation
PowerSAN Line Chosen by Neartek for New Storage Technology
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 8, 2001--Interphase Corporation (Nasdaq:INPH - news), a leader in Fibre Channel and next generation telecommunications technologies, has been chosen by Neartek, Inc. as a provider of Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) for its new virtual storage solution.

The Virtual Storage Engine offers diverse server connectivity options and is using Interphase`s PowerSAN(TM) Line of products for Fibre Channel interface connections. The virtual storage solution from Neartek is already deployed in over 50 sites throughout Europe and is currently being introduced to North American markets.

``We chose to use Interphase HBAs for a number of reasons,`` said Clement de la Jonquiere, chief technical officer of Neartek. ``First, they use quality parts including the Tachyon chip on their adapters. Second, by working together, we were able to develop the driver target, which emulates the tape drive on the top of the adapters, in a way that increases performance. And third, unlike some other options, Interphase had a development kit that was ready and available.``

Interphase`s PowerSAN Fibre Channel family of HBA products have become part of the flexible and customized Virtual Storage Engine that gives customers interoperability, performance and availability to Storage Area Networks, Network Attached Storage and Direct Attached Storage environments. The much anticipated system architecture provides clients benefits including greater reliability, improved performance, reduced access time, improved security, automatic data management and cost control.

Neartek`s system is one of the first true enterprise virtual storage architectures because it releases storage from the constraint of mapping memory from the mainframe. It offers almost unlimited storage capacity and accessibility by decoupling storage from server and operating system dependencies thereby allowing data to be located anywhere in a physical storage layer. The system also centralizes storage management functions including backup, archiving, disaster recovery and hierarchical storage management.

``Working with Neartek and virtual storage allows us to capitalize on our expertise in Fibre Channel technology,`` said Greg Kalush, president of Interphase. ``As evidenced by our relationship with Neartek, Interphase is again showing our commitment to work with our partners to provide innovative storage solutions to the worldwide marketplace.``
