Data is the lifeblood of business. Therefore, its loss is not only intolerable, but can result in lost revenue, and even more severely, it can create a serious risk to the core business itself. This means that vendors are in a never-ending mission to create systems to better store and safeguard precious corporate data. Any solution that will increase the reliability and manageability of the data is a very important element to the future of corporate digital-computing infrastructures. Vixel has been intensely focused on the challenge of raising the bar in the reliability, manageability and scalability of the storage infrastructure. Vixel has created a unique technology that extends both the reliability and performance of the storage infrastructure. This technology is called InSpeed(TM). Read about this advanced switching architecture in this white paper. (March 2002)
