Troika says the product is running in about eight customer sites, allowing data center managers to allocate networked storage (and backup applications) to the virtual servers they configure with VMware's product.
"We've seen immense interest in this," says Troika's O'Brian. "These VMware customers are early adopters of virtualization, and they're happy with what we're doing."
Troika announced its alliance with StoreAge back in March and joined VMware's partner program earlier this month (see Troika Joins VMware Alliance). But the new package is among the first-ever products to combine VMware server virtualization with storage applications.
VMware and parent EMC Corp. (NYSE: EMC) are reportedly demonstrating storage and VMware's virtual servers working together, but have nothing officially for sale. VMware could not be reached for further information at press time.
Troika also reiterated this week its plan to partner with Agere Systems Inc. (NYSE: AGR.A), an announcement originally made last spring (see Agere, Trokia Develop SAN Products). Troika says Agere will ship chips containing ReadyPath, the hardware-acclerating software used in its NSS, in the first half of next year.
