*** Silicon announces 100 percent gigabit Fibre Channel storage

Silicon Graphics Inc. Tuesday announced the industry's first true
gigabit Fibre Channel storage subsystems. The subsystems, Origin
FibreVault and Origin Fibre Channel RAID, are designed for
high-performance applications and can transfer data up to
two-and-a-half times faster than the current SCSI (small computer
system interface) technology. Unlike current leading storage
solutions, the Silicon Graphics subsystems offer the first Fibre
Channel-to-Fibre Channel combination. Origin FibreVault and Fibre
Channel RAID offer an enhanced speed at 100MB per second. For the full
