New Conduction-Cooled, PMC
Board Breaks Price Barrier for Ruggedized 128-bit Graphics
OAKLAND, Calif - September 29, 2003 - Peritek has introduced its first ruggedized IEEE P1383.1 compliant PMC graphics board. The Duros/PMC is a conduction-cooled high-resolution, dual-head display controller. The first ruggedized graphics card to feature Silicon Motion's 128-bit SM731 graphics accelerator, the Duros/PMC significantly lowers the cost of high-performance ruggedized PMC graphics. Powered by Silicon Motion's 128-bit SM731 graphics accelerator, Duros/PMC supports screen resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 (UXGA) at vertical scan rates up to 91 Hz. The SM731 is supported with 16 Mbytes of high speed SDRAM display memory to provide ample local storage for image and off-screen data such as texture maps, Z-buffer, and backing store. Duros/PMC supports single channel analog VGA, single channel DVI (option) or dual-channel LVDS outputs. With the DVI (PanelLink) option, the Duros/PMC can support simultaneous DVI and VGA outputs. Dual Channel limited to 1024x768 per channel operation. All outputs are via the card's 64-pin PMC Pn4 rear panel connector. Duros/PMC is designed for displays running in VxWorks, Linux and Windows operating system environments. The Duros/PMC is designed for mission-critical military, aerospace, homeland security and industrial applications and is available in two levels of ruggedization. ...Peritek profile | ||||||||||||||

| Sun | SunNetwork Conference a
Yawn Rather than a Wakeup Call to Look Again at Sun Offerings Editor:- September 22, 2003 - the most important announcement at the recent SunNetwork Conference, was one that didn't happen. Sun didn't fanfare a new strategy based on a new family of SPARC/Linux servers. In a recent article I discussed why this would be necessary to turn around Sun's revenue decline. Until then, Sun's long term survival will depend mainly on how good it is at cutting costs while its revenue continues heading south. | ||||||||||||||

McNealy Warms Up Crowd at
SunNetwork Conference SAN FRANCISCO - September 16, 2003 - Scott McNealy, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Sun Microsystems, Inc. raised the curtain at Sun's annual user conference today, and told the crowd of thousands of IT professionals that Sun is on a mission to drive cost and complexity out of Network Computing. He previewed more than 30 new technologies and solutions designed to lower acquisition costs, eliminate virus attacks and security breaches and reduce ongoing management and operations' costs. In his keynote address, McNealy set the SunNetwork agenda and said conference-goers would hear details throughout the three-day event about a radical redefining of software around the system and highlighted the Java Enterprise System as the first game changer in enterprise software since Java. Referencing the recent security issues of Microsoft, McNealy said that the Java Desktop System offers a viable desktop solution that reduces the risk of massive security holes, can run on Linux, and be acquired for a fraction of the typical acquisition and licensing costs. McNealy also previewed three new aggressively priced Sparc based systems intended to redefine the price/performance of servers across the industry. ...Sun Microsystems profile | ||||||||||||||

CAI and AVANU Announce
WebMux Pro - Load Balancer for Gigabit Ethernet
SAN JOSE, CA - September 15, 2003 - CAI Networks and AVANU today announced the availability of the WebMux Pro load balancer for Gigabit Ethernet. WebMux load balancers are stand-alone, self-contained and ready-to-install network appliances that provide high performance management of IP traffic on 10/100 and Gigabit Ethernet networks. Each WebMux unit is just 14" deep and 1U high, in a standard 19" rack. WebMux products deliver maximum performance and flexibility by supporting both network address translation and direct (out-of-path) routing. NAT is the default mode and operates as a firewall as well as a load balancer and health checker. Direct routing mode improves performance from 10X to 100X when servers send large responses to small requests. WebMux uses a unique routing algorithm to achieve maximum server performance and user connections. WebMux Pro includes the recently released WebMux Burst Activity Management feature (BAM). BAM solves the system failure problem that historically occurs in intensive Internet applications where client or application servers repeatedly send a large number of DNS requests to the same DNS server. These messages are often seen by the server as one large message and therefore are not load balanced across all the available servers, resulting in slow site response and a reduction in the site's reliability. CAI's BAM solves this problem by properly distributing the DNS requests on a packet-by-packet basis spreading them across the servers. WebMux Pro Gigabit Ethernet is priced at $8,999 per unit, balances 5,760,000 concurrent connections with 40,000 new connections per second and 1 Gigabit throughput per second. ...AVANU, ...CAI Networks profile | ||||||||||||||
