PacketLight to Focus on Storage Transport

PacketLight Networks, a developer of metro multi-service optical transport and access systems, announced plans to focus on the growing storage transport market. PacketLight offers a range of products for storage over DWDM and SONET/SDH, using the latest GFP/VCAT and FC-BB standards. The company's new product line offers high-speed storage services, such as Fibre Channel, FICON, and ESCON over large distances--without performance degradation--using SONET/SDH and DWDM.



PacketLight also named Hezi Lapid as chairman of the board of directors. Lapid was one of the pioneers of SDH development in ECI Telecom and served as CEO of Innowave, an ECI company that was acquired by Alvarion last year. http://www.packetlight.com
