Charismac Engineering Inc. announced support for ATTO Technologyis ExpressPCI Fibre Channel host bus adapters in FibreShare V2.0 today.
FibreShare V 2.0 is Charismacis reliable new Storage Area Networking (SAN) software for OS X. Charismac will also offer users of ATTOis Accelware SAN software for OS 9 an aggressive upgrade path to update their software to FibreShare V2.0 for OS X.
FibreShare V2.0, released in early summer, has been met with very enthusiastic demand as it hits the market as the first SAN sharing solution to ship in volume with support for OS X. FibreShare V2.0 allows multiple users to access shared storage over high-performance Fibre Channel connection.
