At its annual TechEd conference, Microsoft on Monday introduced Windows Storage Server 2003- the successor to its popular Windows Powered NAS product. Already, OEMs are lining up to license the latest version. Hewlett-Packard and EMC have both indicated they'll release products featuring the new file server near September -- the same time Microsoft says the product will ship.
According to Charles Vallhonrat, a product marketing manager at Hewlett-Packard's infrastructure and NAS division, HP is already working with Microsoft and is receiving code. This, he says, is an extension of a long-standing partnership with Microsoft. HP released its first NAS product based on Microsoft code in July 2000.
