Allen,
Nice note. You captured things
very well.
You might want to post that to the Aperi
blog just to get more exposure.
Cheers, Tom

and SAN Simulator posted |

Happy new year to the Aperi community!
As we begin 2007, I want to acknowledge our many achievements over the
last 18 months. The community has come together to deliver four milestone
releases since the project was established in June 2006, and we've seen
a steady increase in the worldwide interest in the project. I've attached
a couple charts that illustrate the monthly trend of Aperi downloads, as
well as the countries from which users are downloading the code. You'll
notice there is a correlation between the number of downloads and the weeks
following our presence at Storage Networking World, where we co-sponsored
a small booth and demonstated live code to attendees. The SNW show has
been very valuable in allowing us to show storage professionals Aperi's
capabilities and educating them on our progress and on how Aperi can help
foster interoperability and innovation. Clearly, interest continues to
grow, and for that we should feel very proud.
Over the last couple of months, we've also worked hard to create new tools
to help folks become more familiar with the Aperi software. For instance,
we have just posted the 2nd Flash tutorial to the Aperi Demo
page and the new SAN Simulator
to the Downloads
page. The Flash tutorial shows
how easy it is to use the Aperi GUI to discover and probe elements across
the storage environment and is a great complement to the first tutorial,
which shows how one can easily download, install, and configure the Aperi
software.
For its part, the SAN Simulator is a tool that enables users to simulate
a storage area network (SAN) through software. You can create a SAN configuration,
add devices to the SAN, create arbitrary connections between devices, and
remove connections between devices. The tool aids Aperi development and
testing by removing the dependence on device availability, and we're working
on another Flash tutorial to show how one can easily use it for this purpose.
If you've seen the new tutorials or have downloaded the simulator tool,
please consider sharing your thoughts with the community. Together, we'll
continue to enhance the code and make the framework easier to use.
Again, thanks to everyone for your involvement and contributions over the
last 18 months and let's continue pressing for increased interoperability
across the industry in the years to come.
Best regads,
Allen
