RisingTide Systems is a privately-held company headquartered in San Ramon, CA that develops SAN systems and software. History RisingTide Systems was founded by Marc Fleischmann and Nicholas Bellinger in 2008, spurred by the inflection point that 10 GbE, virtualization and cloud computing technologies have brought to SANs and data storage systems. Products The company builds commercial storage systems and software, based on the Linux operating system and its open source Linux multiprotocol target engine LIO, including a highly available version. RisingTide together with Neterion have been among the first shipping multifunction virtualization (SR-IOV) compliant 10 GbE products that enable virtual guest environments to run iSCSI at or near 10 GbE line rates. The company provides the online storage component for the open-source Cloud Reference Stack of LiSoG, a German non-profit organization with more than 100 academic and corporate members. Open Source RisingTide LIO has been listed as one of the major iSCSI targets for Linux, and will be included in Linux as the standard multiprotocol target from kernel version 2.6.37. LIO is used by a number of storage devices, including the Netgear ReadyNAS, the QNAP NAS, the Data Robotics DroboElite, etc., and allowed them to achieve VMware ESX 4.0 and vSphere certifications. The company has released a free Linux/LIO USB bootable image that turns the Sony PS/3 into a network media jukebox for BluRay and DVD content. An early version of Linux/LIO (called PyX) for network playback of DVDs over iSCSI from the Sony PS/2 was named the "most interesting visual demonstration" at LinuxWorld 2004.
