“LSI Logic…announced a Linux open-source operating system
initiative that will expand its suite of software drivers
supporting Symbios-brand SCSI and Fibre Channel devices. LSI
Logic will provide the necessary tools, hardware and development
support for the Linux development community to ensure full
compatibility. LSI Logic will demonstrate its Linux solution
during Comdex in Room N206, upstairs in the Las Vegas Convention
Center.”
“”LSI Logic is seeing real interest and activity from our
customers regarding the open-source movement, particularly with
Linux,” said Harry Mason, director of strategic alliances in LSI
Logic’s Storage Components Division. “As a result, we have
partnered with the Linux community to make our SCSI and Fibre
Channel storage solutions available to Linux users worldwide. LSI
Logic will strive to ensure that future releases of Linux will have
high performance full LSI Logic SCSI and Fibre Channel hardware
support capability. Our feedback indicates that there is great
demand for robust, high-performance storage solutions among Linux
users, and this new working model will allow users to immediately
address these needs.”
“LSI Logic is committed to providing hardware, integration
testing, and technical support to our Linux partners to ensure
compatibility and interoperability in mission critical enterprise
server environments. LSI will also work with the Linux community to
drive other server management initiatives to Linux such as Desktop
Management Interface (DMI) and Common Information Model (CIM).”
