McDATA's
New 140 Port Director
BROOMFIELD,
Colo. - October 1, 2002 - McDATA Corporation today announced the
worldwide availability of its Intrepid™ 6000 Series 140-port Director, the
industry standard for building the world's largest, most scalable and reliable
enterprise storage networks.
The Intrepid 6140 provides anywhere
from 64 to 140 ports in four-port increments, in a compact, 12U package. The
Intrepid 6140 is complementary to McDATA's widely deployed 64-port Intrepid
6064, providing Director-class connectivity attributes to larger SANs and
mainframe FICON deployments requiring hundreds or even thousands of ports. The
customer-driven, common architecture of the Intrepid 6140 is completely
backwards compatible with McDATA's entire core-to-edge SAN product family.
McDATA's Intrepid 6140 and 6064 Directors ensure the highest levels of
availability on the market, exceeding 99.999% uptime or less than 5 minutes of
downtime per year.

I-TECH Announces the Release of 3010 and 3020
SANmark™ Test Suites
Eden
Prairie, MN - September 24, 2002 - I-TECH announced today the release
of the 3010 and 3020 SANmark Test Suites which have been qualified under the
FCIA's SANmark Qualification Program.
These new test
suites relate specifically to switch developers. The 3010 Test Suite tests the
operation of the fabric with respect to registered state change notifications
(RSCNs). The 3020 Test Suite tests zoning to verify that a device will be
visible and able to locate other devices on the name server when the devices are
in the same zone and that they will not be visible if they are not in the same
zone. It also verifies that the correct frames are exchanged on interswitch
links (ISLs) when zones are configured, changed, or deleted.
