SGI, a provider of HPC and data centre offerings, has announced a new initiative with LSI to expand its InfiniteStorage products with new configurations powered by LSI.
According to SGI, the new storage offerings include entry-level and mid-range enterprise RAID-based storage offerings with interconnect support for iSCSI, fibre channel, InfiniBand and SAS. These offerings are application ready for the Oracle Database, VMware and Microsoft enterprise software, including SQL Server, Exchange and SharePoint.
In addition, the new storage offerings will have heterogeneous support with the flexibility to integrate with SGI compute line environments, operate as stand-alone storage and integrate into other OEM compute lines.
The new partnership will provide SGI partners with access to SGI and LSI product information through the SGI channel portal, including solution definitions, pricing, white papers, use cases, product demos, targeted sales and marketing collateral, and competitive analysis.
Mark Barrenechea, CEO of SGI, said: “This extension of our relationship with LSI will deliver SGI customers and partners superior storage solutions that are built on open standards. This global initiative will enable our partners to better address their rapidly expanding data storage needs with the best solutions from SGI and LSI.”
The new SGI InfiniteStorage Select Product line includes the SGI InfiniteStorage 220-SP, SGI InfiniteStorage 4100-SP and SGI InfiniteStorage 4600-SP.
