storage and high performance computing (HPC), and LSI Corporation
(NYSE:LSI) today announced that the two companies will be working
together to cross-certify InfiniBand(r)-based storage systems from LSI

interface from the first PetaScale-class supercomputer at Oak Ridge
National Laboratory," said Julie Ryan, director of alliances, Engenio
Storage Group, LSI. "With the ability to conduct interoperability
certifications with the very latest solutions from QLogic and other
critical members of the HPC ecosystem, we will be able to optimize the
reliability and performance of our products for the marketplace."
"LSI has been a strong member of our SANtrack program for several years
and with the addition of this important partner to our HPCtrack roster,
we can begin to deliver compatible, best-of-breed InfiniBand solutions
to our mutual HPC customers," said Joe Kimpler, director of business
alliances, QLogic Corp. "We look forward to working closely with LSI as
