MILPITAS, Calif., June 26 /PRNewswire/ -- LSI Logic Storage Systems, Inc., a leading supplier of innovative storage solutions for the open enterprise, today announced that VERITAS Volume Replicator(TM) has been qualified to provide comprehensive replication services for the LSI Logic MetaStor® E-Series storage arrays.

In conjunction with LSI Logic MetaStor E-Series storage arrays, VERITAS Volume Replicator provides a seamless, state-of-the-art solution for remote mirroring of data across any IP network (LAN or WAN) without disruption to continuing online operations. Applications of the remote mirroring technology include disaster planning and recovery, remote backup, backup consolidation, load balancing, and site migration.

``LSI Logic Storage Systems has long been a pioneer of sophisticated storage solutions for the open enterprise,'' said Gerard Meluso, director of business development, LSI Logic Storage Systems. ``By combining forces with VERITAS, we have created the ability to deliver our customers a high performance, low cost, and open remote mirroring solution that can scale and outperform closed solutions from proprietary vendors.''

VERITAS Volume Replicator reliably, efficiently, and consistently mirrors data to remote locations over any business network for maximum business continuity. It supports all commercial database management systems, scales to support 32 secondary replication links for one-to-many or many-to-one scenarios, allows administrative tasks to be performed online and replicates fully consistent data in both synchronous and asynchronous mode. Because the VERITAS Software replication technology is far less sensitive to network latency than some competing solutions, long-distance or even transcontinental replication becomes possible without compromising data integrity, risking substantial data loss or requiring additional proprietary network hardware.

``VERITAS Volume Replicator's performance, flexibility and openness enable new possibilities for the enterprise customer and make it the premier remote mirroring solution available today,'' said John Maxwell, vice president of product marketing, VERITAS Software. ``Bringing the fully integrated VERITAS Volume Manager(TM) and VERITAS Volume Replicator solution into a MetaStor E-Series environment produces a solid storage infrastructure capable of delivering complete online management and remote data replication for any mission-critical application.''

The LSI Logic Systems MetaStor E-Series is a family of Enterprise Storage Systems built for storage area network (SAN) operations. The MetaStor E-Series can be configured for RAID levels 0, 1, 3, 5 and 1+0, supports Fibre Channel connectivity to many different host computers, and features family scalability from 32 gigabytes to 16 terabytes of data.

Qualification of the VERITAS Volume Replicator for use with MetaStor E-Series storage systems is another important element of LSI Logic Storage Systems' strategy to enable medium and large enterprises to reduce the total cost of computing in today's heterogeneous IT environment. This is accomplished by reducing the number of servers and storage systems needed to provide high performance, high availability computing, and by significantly increasing storage and systems administrator span of control.
