SteelEye Technology announced today that its award-winning LifeKeeper
data replication and application protection products for Windows and
Linux have been fully qualified by EMC Corporation and are now listed on
the EMC Support Matrix (ESM), assuring customers that SteelEye products
deliver the highest level of interoperability with EMC storage systems.
The ESM listing proves to SteelEye customers using EMC CLARiiON(R) and
EMC Symmetrix(R) DMX networked storage systems that their SteelEye and
EMC products have successfully completed stringent EMC interoperability
testing, spanning every major platform and operating system.
With the qualification of SteelEye LifeKeeper, EMC CLARiiON and EMC
Symmetrix users can take advantage of the enterprise-grade protection of
SteelEye solutions, ensuring business continuity during periods of
planned and unplanned downtime.
According to market research firm IDC, in 2007 EMC ranked #1 in the
world for networked storage systems, comprised of NAS (network attached
storage), Open SAN (storage area network), and iSCSI SAN systems. In the
same report, EMC ranked #1 in external disk storage systems, the 10th
consecutive year the company has held the top position.
By obtaining the ESM listing for its LifeKeeper business continuity,
data replication and application protection solutions, SteelEye is
affording greater flexibility to its customers, many of whom operate
virtualized environments on top of Windows and Linux platforms.
Platform-agnostic support is just one way SteelEye is simplifying the
integration and use of sophisticated application and data protection
technology.
"Qualifying LifeKeeper for ESM marks another significant milestone for
SteelEye’s market leadership in data
replication, clustering and high availability software," noted Bob
Williamson, SteelEye vice president of Products. "We have worked closely
with EMC to ensure that our mutual customers have a superior and
supported application protection solution for the operating system
platform of their choice. The completion of work like this with EMC
makes it easier for our customers to do business with SteelEye and our
partners.”
SteelEye LifeKeeper’s successful completion of
EMC E-Lab’s testing validates both SteelEye
LifeKeeper for Windows v6.1, which runs on 32bit and 64bit versions of
Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition operating
system, and SteelEye LifeKeeper for Linux v6.2, which runs on RedHat EL
and Novell SLES operating systems.
All configurations are qualified with EMC storage units: Symmetrix
DMX/DMX2 and CLARiiON CX600/CX400, CX300, CX700/CX500, CX3FC and combo
40290, CX310c, DMX3/DMX4, and AX45.
