Ideal Hardware Win
Exclusive UK Distribution Deal for Fujitsu Siemens Enterprise Products UK, February 02 2001 - Ideal Hardware announced today that it has beaten off strong competition from other channel distributors to win, by competitive tender, rights to be the exclusive UK distributor for Fujitsu Siemens Enterprise products. "We are delighted to win this tender," says Mark Walker, Enterprise solutions director at Ideal Hardware. "We have had a strong relationship with Fujitsu Siemens for several years now and this new alliance further reinforces this association. It is particularly rewarding as it demonstrates the strength of our Enterprise Solutions Group (ESG) here at Ideal. The business critical model promoted by Fujitsu Siemens demonstrates our shared thinking on the direction in which the market is progressing." Ideal's ESG is able to provide the reseller with an excellent service to successfully implement and complete an enterprise solution from concept to fulfilment. Ideal will be distributing the Fujitus Siemens Computers' range of enterprise products. This includes the Primepower line of highly scalable Solaris/SPARC64 servers, along with a range of best-in-class products including SAN, NAS and backup solutions. Fujitsu Siemens Computers, ...Ideal Hardware profile Editor's comments:- it's interesting to see that someone is finally taking an interest in marketing these products. Fujitsu Siemens may be good at making products, but I've rated their marketing efforts as zero out of ten, because I've seen little or no evidence that these products have ever been actively promoted in the UK. Ideal has historically been an aggresive and active promoter of the products they distribute so that may change. But I don't think that anyone in Sun UK will be losing sleep over this announcement because Fujitsu Siemens SPARC brand awareness is weak, and rated a lower awareness among readers of this directory than long defunct Axil Computer when I checked it out recently for an interested 3rd party. | |||||||||

SBE Launches a New HighWire™
Telecom Product with a Twist SAN RAMON, CA, February 1, 2001— SBE, Inc. today announced the HighWire 400p/M, offering a new level of development flexibility for PCI applications. The HW400p/M is designed specifically to provide an interface to a variety of Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and datacomm networks through the versatility of its PMC site. The HW400p/M brings the flexibility of a carrier-class core processing platform to the PCI Bus form factor. By combining a standardized PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) site with a full featured PowerPC processor core, the HW400p/M can be used to address a wide range of I/O and protocol processing requirements. When fitted with one of SBE's wanPMC line of PMC modules, the HW400p/M provides high-density T1/E1/J1, DS3 (T3), and HSSI communications interfaces. At the same time, it can offload the host by processing protocol layers on board. The HW400p/M also accepts most third-party PMC modules, allowing integrators to address a wide range of requirements with a single common core architecture. "SBE has been focused on increasing the choices of application developers and simplifying the design process," said William B. Heye, Jr., president and CEO of SBE. "With the HW400p/M, we provide PCI application developers with the power and performance of the HighWire platform plus the flexibility to accommodate a wide variety of PMC modules for the design of customized solutions." SBE offers an optional HW400 Software Developers Kit (SDK), a sophisticated developer tool that combines a VxWorks board support package with high-performance VxWorks device drivers for all major hardware components on all HW400 platforms. The HW400 SDK maintains a common API across the entire HW400 family, with solutions for PCI, cPCI, front panel I/O, and PMC carrier applications. Products developed with the HW400 SDK can be quickly ported between popular form factors for maximum flexibility with minimum effort. ...SBE profile |
