The key to successfully deploying and selling SAN solutions in today’s market
is through Fibre Channel device and software interoperability.

QLogic partners with Computer Associates International, Inc. (CA) to
accelerate joint efforts between QLogic’s SANtrack ™ Strategic Partner
program and CA’s Solutions Partner Program, leveraging resources, strengths,
and experience to deliver worldclass storage management solutions to our
mutual customers.

QLogic Corporation’s industry-leading SANblade Fibre Channel Host Bus
Adapters (HBA) and SANbox switches are fully certified with CA BrightStor
ARCserve Backup and BrightStor Enterprise Backup storage software for SAN
solutions. QLogic SANblade HBAs and SANbox switches are also supported
in CA’s BrightStor SAN Manager. The combination of these components
allows Fibre Channel HBAs and switches from a single source, QLogic, to be
managed from SAN Manager’s central console.

CA also offers Certified Solutions that represent the highest quality and
innovation built on CA’s industry-leading technologies. These solutions can
be recognized by the ca smart logo, which certifies interoperability. Based on
close collaboration between CA and QLogic, three families of QLogic’s HBAs
have received the ca smart Seal of Excellence. When you see the ca smart
logo, it indicates interoperability, and assures that CA and QLogic will stand
behind the quality and reliability of the products.

QLogic SANblade and SANbox products, the world’s broadest
and most innovative line of Fibre Channel HBAs and switches,
complement CA’s BrightStor ARCserve and Enterprise Backup.
Together, they deliver complete data protection and permit an
organization to manage heterogeneous storage environments,
increase scalability, and insure data integrity.

BrightStor SAN Manager allows discovery, visualization, monitoring
and administration of QLogic HBAs and switches. With BrightStor
SAN Manager, storage administrators are assured the optimum
health and availability of their SAN infrastructure and can maximize
the return on their SAN infrastructure and deployment.

The partnership between CA and QLogic spans from small business
integration and will scale to a corporate disaster recovery solution,
offering customers unlimited flexibility. That flexibility is evident
at CA World, the Computer Associates’ annual conference. Great
emphasis at CA World is placed on showcasing the breadth of
CA solutions, with an expansive offering of educational classes,
technical sessions, and business demonstrations on the latest
software storage strategy. The classes feature technical “how to”
lessons and are designed to help individuals realize the full potential
of CA Software.

Each of the BrightStor applications is showcased in the Storage
Pavilion. The BrightStor SAN LAB was designed to offer hands-on
training of BrightStor applications. The BrightStor SAN LAB consists
of 40 SAN attached Classroom PCs, eight SAN attached Windows
servers, eight SAN attached Solaris workstations, and a variety
of tape libraries and multiple SCSI, Fibre Channel and Network
Attached Storage arrays.

QLogic is the exclusive provider of Fibre Channel HBAs for all of
CA World. In total, over 80 QLogic QLA2340 HBAs are featured in
demos being shown in the Storage Pavilion and on servers in the
