ALISO VIEJO, Calif., May 29, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- QLogic
Corp. (Nasdaq:QLGC) today announced it is a founding member
of the HP ProActive Insight Architecture (PIA) Alliance,
selected by HP for its networking solutions developed to the
HP standards and interfaces that contribute to the
industry-transforming performance and reliability of HP
ProLiant Generation 8 (Gen8).
HP ProActive Insight Architecture, now available in the new
HP ProLiant Gen8 servers, transforms data center economics
with built-in intelligence that improves performance and
uptime, while lower operating costs. As a founding member of
the HP PIA Alliance, QLogic will continue to contribute to
the elimination of common problems caused by
human-to-technology interaction that lead to system downtime
and data loss. Through embedded HP ProLiant Gen8 server
technology, HP PIA Alliance members, along with HP, can
evaluate data and other critical analytics to continually
optimize and improve on business results.
The HP PIA Alliance brings together the collective value of
the world's leading technology innovators to complement
HP ProLiant Gen8 servers. Alliance members, drawn from
leaders in memory, storage, I/O, power and infrastructure
solutions, build technology components to HP Proactive
Insight architecture standards and interfaces. These
components help to analyze thousands of system parameters and
automate processes that consume critical data center
resources. Additionally, they provide insight into aspects of
application performance and IT infrastructure optimization
that had once been nearly impossible to capture and utilize.
"QLogic has been a key partner in developing networking
solutions for HP ProLiant servers for more than a decade and
has an active role in the HP ProActive Insight Architecture
Program," said Chris Humphrey, vice president of
corporate marketing, QLogic. "QLogic adapter technology,
combined with the power of the HP Insight Architecture in
Gen8 ProLiant Servers overcome storage I/O driven performance
bottlenecks, keeping pace with the increased power of server
processor and memory to maximize overall application
performance."
"The cost of manual operations and system optimization
needed to support growing IT requirements is
unsustainable," said Jim Ganthier, vice president,
Marketing and Operations, Industry Standard Servers and
Software at HP. "The PIA Alliance brings together some
of the world's leading technology companies to eliminate
manual maintenance tasks and significantly improve data
center efficiency."
QLogic will use the HP PIA qualified insignia as visible
assurance of meeting HP's stringent quality and
performance standards.
The HP PIA Alliance will be featured at HP's premier
client event, HP Discover, which takes place June 4-7 in Las
Vegas.
