What the Experts Say"A drool-proof interface is part of what makes Xiotech much beloved among the 2000-plus customers that the company currently supports, about half of whom have deployed multiple boxes from the company. What is significant about the ICON Manager is that it sits on top of a Web services foundation that enables other companies, including SRM providers, to interface simply with the box and add value to the platform. Tek-Tools has already taken advantage of this interface method to add a complementary trend analysis and reporting capability in its Storage Profiler SRM package, and I'm sure that other vendors will follow shortly . From where I'm standing, Xiotech's Web services-based management is more important than all of the other aforementioned value-add features combined. It holds out the hope of doing something meaningful and strategic to reign in the costs of storage infrastructure by enabling better heterogeneous management." Jon Toigo "What's truly interesting is how Xiotech revamped its software. Its new apps are based on a Web services platform and, while I'm not sure if this is a first for a storage hardware vendor, it's a pretty cool idea. Rich Castagna
