Emulex is an active participant in many key associations in the storage industry.
ANSI T10 - www.t10.org
T10 is a Technical Committee of the International Committee on Information Technology Standards (INCITS – www.incits.org). INCITS is accredited by, and operates under rules that are approved by, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI – www.ansi.org). These rules are designed to insure that voluntary standards are developed by the consensus of industry groups. INCITS develops Information Processing System standards, while ANSI approves the process under which they are developed and publishes them.
T10 operates under INCITS and is responsible for SCSI Storage Interfaces. Its principal work is the Small Computer System Interface (SCSI), including the family of SCSI-3 projects. T10 is responsible for SCSI architecture standards (SAM, SAM-2, and SAM-3), which SCSI, SAS, Fibre Channel, SSA, and IEEE 1394 use. T10 is also responsible for many SCSI command set standards (e.g., SPC, SPC-2, SPC-3, SBC, SBC-2, SSC, SSC-2, SSC-3, MMC, MMC-2, MMC-3, MMC-4, RBC, etc.). These standards are used by almost all modern I/O interfaces, including SCSI, SAS, Fibre Channel, SSA, IEEE 1394, USB, and ATAPI (ATA).
Emulex is an active participant on T10 committees for both monitoring activity and proposing recommendations to ensure standards work for the benefit of industry players and end-users.
