Aperi project gains Eclipse approval
Published: 11 Sep 2006 12:40 BST
The Eclipse Foundation formally accepted Aperi as an open source storage management project on Thursday. Aperi — which is backed by Cisco Systems, IBM and Novell, among others — seeks to develop a standardised open source code for storage management systems according to specifications established by the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA).
SNIA is a large group that includes leading players in the storage management industry. Aperi consists of a smaller group of SNIA members.
The Eclipse Foundation, which was originally founded by IBM, is now an independent entity that oversees open source projects.
