-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am contacting you to seek your advice. What is the best way for my company to make your members aware of a new technology now available for the Linux community?
Coraid has developed a new product called EtherDrive specifically designed to meet the networked disk storage needs of Linux systems. We have visited numerous Linux User Group meetings in the USA and have found that the members are very interested in this technology, since there no suitable networked storage solution for Linux users. Arranging a personal visit to locations outside the USA is not feasible for us at this time but perhaps there is another way that you have found effective for your members to become aware of new technologies. The EtherDrive Storage Blades are a way to connect disk drives directly on an Ethernet network. A GPL device driver for Linux completes the picture by making the disks appear local. We've defined a new protocol, AoE or ATA-over-Ethernet, to do this. Shared (networked) storage is a common need for any system. Current storage manufacturers offer only choices that are expensive and complicated. EtherDrive storage blades are like Storage Area Network but much, much less expensive. Now the Linux community can do a lot of new things that were too expensive before. Please contact me if you think this technology would be of interest for your LUG members. We would be happy to forward technical presentation materials or other documents that you feel are appropriate. Our website contains more information. http://www.coraid.com/indexc.html Thank you for your help. Sincerely, Chris [EMAIL PROTECTED] Anyone have any thoughts on this? - -- Jarrod Major GPG Fingerprint: FA4A 1EA3 A0EE A842 07BB 804C 0090 14F6 BE6E DE3D Registered Linux User: #224211 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iQCVAwUBQav5RgCQFPa+bt49AQKQ0AP8DIYl5FFrINdx3X04YZ/RBeL4UETB4GyF TBdJ2ej8H+vkdF9GbXFJHkbfjHqNtPDq9bKC16akYyU4oSOBYrcYfcfuCEeZfFWH fgTw2THjGmYoJNhX7VPSeK2LkHoj+x/xC+cdhoj41x7gTkfk5n8p+0mNGfmKBuh1 Lglhx2rjzNg= =yRT6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
