[Speakers] 3ware speaking opportunity

[Pete Kisich]

No Problem Steve.  We can keep it at a very technical level. 

Founded in 1997, 3ware, Inc., the technology leader in switched storage
solutions, delivers reliable, scalable, high-performance storage. 3ware
products are based on 3ware's StorSwitch(tm) architecture, which applies
network packet switching to PCI ATA/IDE storage controllers. 

By using ATA drives in place of SCSI drives, storage costs are significantly
reduced while the StorSwitch architecture increases the performance beyond
that of the Ultra SCSI 160. Recently, with the introduction of 160GB drives
from Maxtor, 3ware has broken the terabyte limit on a single 64 bit PCI
card. This, coupled with 3ware's open source Linux driver, allows Linux
system builders to create muti-terabyte systems for under a penny per MB,
while getting the performance and features (such as hot swap and hot spare)
users have come to expect in more expensive SCSI and Fibre Channel
solutions.

Lastly, 3ware continues to expand the StorSwitch architecture to include
Serial ATA and iSCSI technologies.  This will allow 3ware to continue to
hold its position as the leader in affordable/high performance storage
solutions. 

Let me know if you need anything else.  Thanks.
