Santa Fe Springs, CA --
Enhance Technology, Inc., a world leader in data storage solutions for
Enterprise and SMBs, is proud to announce it has joined the Emulex
Technology Partner Program, ensuring compatibility between Enhance
Technology’s RS8 FS and RS16 FS Hybrid RAID storage with Emulex’s LightPulse®
family of Host Bus Adapters (HBAs), including the LP1150/1100x and
LPe1150/1100x. By combining Enhance Technology and Emulex solutions,
high-performance RAID storage meets high-performance HBAs to offer superior
interoperability and scalability.

The RS8 FS and RS16 FS are both 4Gb Fibre-to-SAS/SATA RAID storage
devices, designed to operate in mission critical and data-intensive network
environments. Features include hot-swappable drive trays and cooling fan
modules, as well as a built-in RAID controller that can remotely monitor and
manage the storage system through a web based GUI. This brings together
protection, manageability and maintenance without interruption of services.
In staying with Enhance Technology’s direction to go green, the
combination of Enhance’s UltraStor RS8 FS/RS16 FS and Emulex’s LightPulse
HBAs is perfect for VMware ESX 3.5, the leading server virtualization
solution. Leveraging VMware ESX 3.5 and Emulex’s Virtual HBA technology,
Enhance Technology provides high storage capacity with the use of a single
station, compared with multiple server stations, saving energy, space and
the need to purchase unnecessary equipment to reach ultimate operator cost
efficiency.
While Enhance Technology provides the high capacity storage, Emulex
provides the link between storage and station. Emulex’s LP1150/1100x and
LPe1150/1100x HBAs provide industry-leading SAN connectivity, offering
full-duplex data throughput, simplified installation and configuration using
a common driver model, as well as superior quality and reliability to ensure
data availability.
The collaboration between Enhance Technology and Emulex delivers maximum
efficiency and reliability to Enterprise and SMB storage users. The need for
more storage is constant and Enterprise and SMBs demand scalability. Enhance
Technology and Emulex are helping customers save energy, reduce waste,
increase efficiency, while providing an effective high-performance storage
that meets their ever-increasing storage needs.
“Emulex works closely with Enhance Technology to deliver interoperable
products that offer industry-leading I/O connectivity and features for
networked storage environments,” said Taufik Ma, vice president of product
marketing, Emulex. “As server virtualization continues to drive storage area
network (SAN) attach rates, Emulex LightPulse HBAs provide end users with a
comprehensive feature set that ensures their environments are optimized for
Fibre Channel SAN connectivity.”
“The partnership between Enhance Technology and Emulex enables us to
accelerate the delivery of the latest Fibre 4G storage systems and solutions
into the enterprise storage market”, says Steven Huang, General Manager,
Enhance Technology, Inc. “Enhance Technology’s UltraStor RS Series Fibre
Channel storage systems combine with Emulex’s LightPulse HBAs provide
channel partners and VARs with affordable and robust Fibre Channel SAN
storage solutions.”
