Mylex Corporation (Nasdaq: MYLX), the world's leading RAID controller vendor in the non-captive network systems marketplace, today announced that ten leading systems vendors have integrated Mylex's high-performance eXtremeRAID(TM) 1100 PCI RAID controller into their mid-range and high-end network servers. The systems vendors covered by today's announcement include Acer America Corporation, Data General Corporation (NYSE: DGN), Fujitsu Limited Japan, Fujitsu Limited Europe, Hitachi America Ltd.

"We're pleased these vendors are choosing Mylex to boost their server performance," said Eric Herzog, vice president of marketing at Mylex. "Most server performance bottlenecks can be traced directly to the storage system. Mylex's eXtremeRAID controller is designed to maximize server performance by eliminating I/O bottlenecks that commonly occur along the data path between the disk drives and the server."

Mylex's ability to eliminate bottlenecks and improve performance and availability has helped several of the top PC server vendors to win TPC-C and TPC-D awards, rigorous benchmarks specified by the Transaction Processing Performance Council. These awards provide real-world server performance in online transaction processing environments.

"We chose Mylex's eXtremeRAID for its unmatched performance," said Lee Hanson, vice president, Intergraph Computer Systems' Enterprise Solutions Division in Huntsville, AL. "We are committed to providing our customers superior performance, manageability and flexibility, and eXtremeRAID fulfills these requirements."

"As the world's 4th largest server manufacturer, Acer has provided hundreds of thousands of reliable servers into a variety of network environments. Acer America has continued this by selecting Mylex's eXtremeRAID controller to complement our full line of Altos servers. Customers require dependable, high performance network solutions, and our Altos servers and Mylex's eXtremeRAID controller provides this," said Tony Huynh, product manager, Commercial Systems Division at Acer America.
