Mr. Divatia: Aarohi Communications was founded in mid-2001 to develop highly integrated system-on-a-chip solutions for a new generation of storage networking systems. Aarohi is headquartered in San Jose, California, with about 50 employees, mostly engineering, and also maintains a development center in Bangalore, India. We have built a strong management team with experience across the systems, software, storage and networking industries. Our Storage Processor product line is optimized to address the need for simplified enterprise storage management and large scale storage consolidation.
TWST: Is there anything like that available today?
Mr. Divatia: Not really. First generation Storage Processors are
designed primarily for the emerging IP Storage market with TCP/IP
offload engines (TOE) and protocol mediation between fibre
channel and Ethernet connections. Aarohi Storage Processors not
only address the multi-protocol requirement, but also provide
capability to handle storage application processing as well as
10Gbps fibre channel and Ethernet. These additional functions
simplify enterprise storage management and improve network
scalability by enabling storage applications, currently isolated
to individual hosts or storage arrays, to be redistributed into
the fabric. By centralizing storage management applications, a
variety of storage resources from multiple vendors can be
consolidated and managed with fewer resources under the same
management umbrella.
