Pathlight Technology

Pathlight Technology was a pioneer in the field of Storage Area Networks. Based in Ithaca, NY, Pathlight was formed in 1994 as a spin-out from Ironics, a manufacturer of VME computer, IO and memory boards.

Pathlight was involved in the development of Serial Storage Architecture products, and in Fibre Channel products.

Pathlight merged with ADIC in 2001.[1]

Products

One of the significant products from Pathlight was the SAN Gateway, which provided multi-directional bridging between multiple Parallel SCSI ports and multiple Fibre Channel ports. IBM teamed with Pathlight to provide the SAN Data Gateway[2] (IBM Product 2108-G07 [3]) and SAN Data Gateway Router (IBM Product 2108-R03 [4]).
