Cost-Effective Family of Fast-Ethernet Switches With Easy-To-Use Web Browser
Management Interface Anaheim, May 11, 2000 - Compex Inc. announces a family of Fast-Ethernet switches with a user-friendly Web browser management interface. Featuring 16 and 24 10/100 Mbps RJ45 ports respectively, the SXP1216WM and SXP1224WM switches come with built-in Web servers supporting Compex's Web-based management application. This allows users to easily control the switches' functions via any popular Web browser such as Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. Capable of Port Trunking support, the SXP1216WM/1224WM allow users to group up to 4 ports into a single trunk or link, attaining an aggregate transmission speed of up to 800 Mbps through the trunk. This is useful in cascading two or more SXP switches. The management interface allows users to specify both the number and position of the ports to be used as trunk ports. The graphical management interface also allows for flexible grouping of ports into VLANs (Virtual LANs). Its VLAN support provides a secure isolation of network traffic and suppresses broadcast storms by keeping data packets within the logical VLAN group. This is a useful feature for high-powered workgroup users. Having a backplane capacity of 4.8 Gbps, the SXP1216WM/1224WM can be mounted onto any standard 19" rack and offer an optional 100Base-FX fiber module, which users can use to link up to another switch over a distance of 2 km. Offices of the enterprise that are in different locations within a 2 km range can be connected within the same LAN with the SXP1216WM/1224WMs' fiber module. The SXP1216WM and SXP1224WM have MSRPs of $699 (US) and $899 (US) respectively and are available now through Compex Inc.'s extensive network of distributors, value-added resellers and system integrators in Asia, the United States and Europe. ...Compex profile | ||||||||||||||
| SCO | SCO and Industry Leaders
Establish Free Standards Group SANTA CRUZ, CA May 10, 2000 - The Santa Cruz Operation, Inc. (SCO) announced today it has become a charter member of the Free Standards Group, an assembly of industry-leading companies driving to establish the Linux Standard Base (LSB). SCO has been involved since late 1999 in an effort to standardize Linux. LSB is designed to help the Linux market reach a new level of maturity and give ISVs a single target port rather than multiple ports for multiple platforms. Currently, there are minor variations among Linux distributions that make it difficult for ISVs to support Linux. The ultimate goal of the LSB is to provide a single, standard reference that will allow vendors to reap the benefit of seeing greater ISV support for Linux. Charter members of the Free Standards Group include IBM, LinuxCare, Sun, Red Hat, VALinux, Caldera Systems, TurboLinux, SuSE and others. Specifically, the LSB project consists of Linux developers, users and companies who have a vested interest in the overall success of the Linux market and share SCO's goal and vision of standards and interoperability. | ||||||||||||||

Introduces EMERALD: A Novel Approach to Network Surveillance and Intrusion
Detection Menlo Park, CA May 9, 2000 - Silicon Valley-based SRI International, a leading independent technology innovator, announced today the release of an evaluation edition of one component from a suite of advanced technologies being developed for the Department of Defense's cyber defense research program. Available for free download on the Internet, the component, called eXpert-BSM, provides a complete host-based intrusion detection solution for Sun Microsystems SPARC Solaris™ servers and will run on other major systems in the future. Funded by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the technology suite, EMERALD (Event Monitoring Enabling Responses to Anomalous Live Disturbances), further underscores the need to develop advanced technologies for cyber defense against hacking and other malicious activities. To widely distribute this state-of-the-art intrusion detection and surveillance technology, SRI applied EMERALD to the Sun Solaris™ Operating Environment™ -- the most widely-deployed platform used in eBusiness today -- so that it is available to a large number of users. This free Internet distribution of eXpert-BSM is the first in a series of proactive measures SRI and DARPA will be taking this year to give corporate security administrators a glimpse into the capabilities that will set the standards for next-generation intrusion detection products. First in a series of advanced EMERALD intrusion detection sensors, eXpert-BSM is now available for free download and use at http://www.sdl.sri.com/emerald/releases/ | ||||||||||||||

Receives Sun Microsystems' Solaris Ready Certification MINNEAPOLIS-May 9, 2000 -Transition Networks, the conversion technology expert, today announced that its Conversion Center chassis has received the Solaris Ready certification from Sun Microsystems, Inc. for its TN-View management suite. Transition is the only conversion technology platform to receive this certification. The Solaris Ready certification indicates that Transition's TN-View management suite is compatible with the Sun SolarisTM Operating Environment. The Conversion Center's TN-View management suite underwent extensive testing to provide this level of interoperability. The Conversion Center is a high-density, multiprotocol and multimedia converter mounting option. Capable of accepting converter modules from numerous networking protocols, the 16-slot chassis-like design is an ideal solution for many media interface problems. The Conversion Center can convert many networking protocols, including UTP to fiber conversions for Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, ATM, FDDI and Token Ring, as well as single-mode to multi-mode fiber conversions for these and Gigabit Ethernet and OC-12 environments. A redundant power option provides additional network and data protection. "As the industry-leading provider of conversion technology, it is crucial that our products work the first time every time," said Cheri Podzimek, vice president of marketing for Transition Networks. "The Solaris Ready certification provides our customers with seamless plug and play installation in a Sun environment." | ||||||||||||||
