Bridgeworks will use the iReady components as part of a low-cost bridge (what else?) solution that allows customers to upgrade to iSCSI; Elipsan will employ iReadys bundle as part of its storage appliance manager; and Raidtec will integrate iReady hardware and software into its SNAZ file server appliances to provide its customers with easy IP SAN connectivity.
Koyama says the company expects to announce more storage OEM partners in the first quarter of 2004.
And Evaluator Group's Kerns foresees significant interest in the target suite. I expect theyll pick up quite a few more [OEMs] between now and the middle of next year, he says. This is the quickest path to get there for anybody who wants to get into that market and doesnt have the code. The iSCSI market is the small-to-midsize storage market. Its a big market.
If Kerns is correct, iReady should hit its target of penetrating a crowded field of TCP offload engine (TOE) contenders (see Is iReady?).
