Heterogeneous storage infrastructures, in which mass storage solutions from different providers are used, should be easier to manage thanks to the common, open compatibility standard .
Version 1.0.2 of the specification has now been submitted to the International Committee for Information Technology Standards ( INCITS ) in a fast-track process . In 2008, version 1.1 was standardized by ANSI as ANSI INCITS 388-2008 .
