QLogic has licensed ARC's user-customisable processor technology for a new generation of storage area network infrastructure components

ARC was chosen to provide the new embedded processor in Qlogic's devices, with the first implementation in its future iSCSI (Internet SCSI) technology products. QLogic addresses a market need for faster data access between companies' network servers, workstations and data storage devices, especially in the light of the astronomical growth of data usage by large corporations and on the Internet.

Its controller chips are built directly into system motherboards, as well as storage devices, such as disk drives, redundant array of disks (RAID) devices, tape drives and tape libraries.

The company also produces host adapter boards that plug into computer systems and storage subsystems, and develops the world's most innovative storage area network (SAN) switch and switch management products.

Jerry Alston, vice president of engineering at QLogic, said, "We have had our own embedded processor for the past ten years.

When we reviewed requirements for our next generation products, we selected the ARCtangent-A4 for our product line because of its small size, speed, and the development tools available with the processor".

The first developments to use ARC's processor will be Qlogic's iSCSI line of products.

The QLogic iSCSI engineering team is currently developing this technology for use in adapters and storage controllers to enable a new generation of Ethernet SANs.

QLogic's iSCSI solution will include innovative, hardware-based TCP/IP acceleration for high performance SAN implementations in Ethernet-based storage architectures.
