Intel supplies a wide range of interoperable building blocks and finished products compatible with existing Ethernet storage environments. This open approach fosters a community of providers who are accelerating the availability of interoperable, networked storage solutions that result in lower total costs of storage development and ownership.

Increasing Internet content, rich e-mail, and e-Commerce are driving rapid growth in the volume of data moving across public and enterprise IP networks. The demand for affordable and accessible storage, available anywhere on the network, requires a new mix of complementary technologies and building blocks.

Intel's storage building blocks will include iSCSI, S-ATA, InfiniBand* architecture, and 3GIO enabled solutions that meet the requirements of storage systems while helping to reduce systems costs. From innovations in affordable RAID on motherboard technology - to Ethernet host adapters with iSCSI capability and Intel® architecture-based storage platforms, Intel is helping the industry meet the demand for intelligent, highly available storage - available anywhere on the network.
