QLOGIC SAN INTEROPERABILITY GUIDE JANUARY 2006

IntroductionHistorically, finding interoperability information required endless hours of searching supplier websites or contacting suppliers to obtain interoperability information relating to their products. QLogic Corporation has addressed this challenge by incorporating interoperability information from multiple suppliers within this single publication. To save you valuable time, QLogic Corporation provides wide-ranging interoperability information from the major storage area network (SAN) suppliers in this SAN interoperability guide. The QLogic SAN Interoperability Guide is a comprehensive resource for developers and consultants interested in providing QLogic-powered products, solutions, and services to their customers. This resource represents over 50 Partners, 230 Partner products, and 10,000 certifications. It provides interoperability matrices that, at a glance, let you identify the certified SAN products, solutions, and services best suited to your needs. Information about the certified solutions has been gathered from Partner websites, collateral documentation, directly from suppliers, and storage-industry trade alliances. Interoperability includes not only switches, host bus adapters (HBAs), and storage products; it also extends to the component level. Therefore, the guide includes matrices that list embedded products powered by QLogic solutions. As a key resource for SAN planning and implementation, QLogic Corporation is backed by more than 15 years of storage experience and offers the widest range of SAN-infrastructure experience in the industry. For these reasons, the world's leading storage vendorsincluding Engenio, Dell, EMC, Fujitsu, Hitachi, HP, IBM, and Sunrely on QLogic infrastructure products for their disk, tape, and storage subsystems and software solutions. Last year, more than 10 million QLogic chips shipped inside disk drives, tape devices, servers, workstations, RAID subsystems, and tape libraries delivered to small, medium, and large enterprises around the world.

How to Use this GuideThe information contained in this guide was collected from our Partners. The guide is separated by chapters and organized alphabetically by Partner. Each chapter gives you a snapshot of the Partner and the Partner's SAN solutions. For accuracy and familiarity, we have included the Partner's interoperability matrices in the format provided by the Partner. Different Partners offer different solutions, as well as different test criteria and environments; therefore, the interoperability matrices presented in this guide will vary from chapter to chapter. Another notable difference is that some Partners embed QLogic technology in their product offerings, while others may not. Consequently, you may find some Partners with interoperability matrices, and some with both interoperability and embedded matrices. Despite the differences, all Partner chapters are organized the same way. For a visual representation, see page xxiv. ! The Partner. For your convenience, we have included a Partner primer. In this section is the name and logo of the Partner; company description; contact information, so that you can contact the Partner directly; information about the partnership with QLogic; and the QLogic logo certifications that the Partner products have received. ! Lists of Matrices. This section provides lists of the Interoperability matrices, QLogic Embedded Technology in Partner Products matrices, and Partner Cross-Reference matrices. These lists provide a high-level look at the components included in the matrices, allowing you to move directly to the matrix of interest. ! The Matrices. This section contains the Interoperability matrices and the QLogic Technology Embedded in Partner Products matrices. In addition, refer to the following: ! QLogic Quick Reference Interoperability Matrix (see page xxv) to view which Partners interoperate with which QLogic products ! QLogic Product Reference Matrices (see page xxix) to view details about QLogic products ! General Index (see page 443) for a listing of the information in the guide ! Partner Cross-Reference Index (see page 451) for a listing of Partner matrices that contain solutions from other Partners !
