InterSan® Pathline®

InterSAN Inc.’s Storage Area Management (SAM) software product PATHLINE is the first application-based SAM software that aligns the management of storage networks with business policies and objectives. PATHLINE helps customers efficiently manage large, multiprotocol, multivendor storage area networks (SANs) by taking an applications-oriented view that masks the complexity of the underlying storage- networking infrastructure.

IP

The IP (Internet Protocol) is the underlying protocol for routing packets on the Internet and other TCP/IP-based networks. IP is an internetwork protocol that provides a communication standard that works across different types of linked networks, for example Ethernet, FDDI, or ATM.

Java™

Developed by Sun Microsystems™, Java is now a standard software language for developing plug-in applications.

LAN

Local area networks or LANs are networks of computers that are geographically close together; this usually means on the same campus. Most LANs are confined to a single building or group of buildings. However, one LAN can be connected to other LANs over any distance via telephone lines, high-speed fiber optic backbones, and radio waves. A system of LANs connected in this way is called a wide-area network (WAN).

Lightning 9900™ V Series

The Hitachi Freedom Storage™ Lightning 9900™ V Series was announced in May 2002 (Lightning 9980V™ and Lightning 9970V™ models). It represents a major advance in enterprise-class storage systems with its Hierarchical Star Network switched internal architecture, which provides for many times more simultaneous transfers to and from the host compared to shared-bus architectures.

Logical Fibre Channel Port

The Lightning 9900 V Series Fibre Channel adapter cards each contain four physical Fibre Channel ports. Each physical port can be subdivided into multiple logical Fibre Channel ports. Each logical Fibre Channel port supports a Host Storage Domain (HSD), which is a collection of LUNs matched to assigned hosts based on WWNs.

Logical Unit

The SCSI term for a logical disk drive.
