LSI Logic Receives Brocade Fabric Aware Certification

LSI Logic Corporation announced today that the LSI44929O Host Bus Adapter (HBA) has been verified by Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. as interoperable with Brocade-based Storage Area Networking (SAN) infrastructures. Testing was conducted through the Brocade Fabric Aware Program, a multi-vendor end-to-end interoperability initiative for enterprise SANs.

“We are pleased that LSI Logic has successfully completed the Fabric Aware testing with Brocade fabric switches in heterogeneous SAN environments,” said Jay Kidd, Brocade vice president of product marketing. “Storage area networks are being deployed worldwide at a rapid rate as a scalable, high performance networking foundation for storage environments. End users are implementing large fabric SANs comprising hundreds of storage subsystems, servers, and networking technologies, all from multiple vendors. The Fabric Aware program is an example of our continued investment in delivering end-to-end SAN interoperability to our partners and their customers.”

Testing was conducted at the Brocade interoperability labs. The Brocade Fabric Aware Program has added more than 40 partners since its launch in 2000
