Sandial Systems

A: Through our patent pending intelligent connection control technology, Sandial offers the only storage networking solution available today with the capability to provision bandwidth among networked resources on a per-connection basis. This capability empowers IT professionals to manage the storage network backbone to better align their data center resources with constantly changing application requirements and business priorities. Q: How do Sandial's products benefit administrators and businesses? A: Sandial's storage network backbone solutions empower data center managers to dictate network behavior to achieve specific business goals, such as prioritizing bandwidth to a product line management (PLM) application during the final weeks of product launch or optimizing network connections to better enable disaster recovery applications. Sandial solutions, of course, deliver the traditional promise of SAN ROI including storage and server consolidation. More significantly however, is our ability to deliver the SAN's next generation ROI in two additional ways. First, Sandial's solutions can add to a company's bottom line by consolidating SAN islands into a single enterprise resource. Additionally, Sandial delivers further value by optimizing application and storage resources through more efficient bandwidth utilization. Q: Who are some of Sandial's customers? A: Sandial's storage network backbone solutions have already proven themselves in production environments in several household name organizations, including New Balance Athletic Shoe, the world's #3 athletic footwear and apparel manufacturer. We plan to announce other successful implementations over the coming months. Q: Why do you think Sandial has what it takes to be successful? A: In my opinion, there are three key requirements for building a successful and sustainable company today: talent, passion and focus. The Sandial team has decades of experience building some of the world's most successful networking solutions for the LAN, MAN, WAN and now the SAN. We are passionate about building the best foundation possible for the back office data center, and I feel that our focus on the storage network backbone is unrivalled. The overwhelming response we're getting from customers like New Balance is a testament not only to our technology, but also to Sandial's dedication to providing our customers with world-class data center expertise.
