ADLINK Technology Joins Continuous Computing Corp. PROACT Program.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 23, 2003 Continuous Computing the Intel-Based Products in the OPENblade(TM) Architecture family of HA Platform Solutions Continuous Computing Corp. (CCPU CCPU Continuous Computing Corporation (stock symbol) CCPU Cash Cost Per User (Sprint) CCPU China Criminal Police University CCPU Cryptographic Central Processing Unit ), which produces platform solutions for network equipment manufacturers, today announced that ADLINK Technology, the leading manufacturer of PC-based industrial computers for measurement, automation, and communication, has joined the Partnership for Reliable, Open-Architecture Computing Technology (PROACT PROACT Neurology A clinical trial–Prolyse in Acute Cerebral Thromboembolism (TM)) alliance program as a strategic Intel-based product partner. "We're delighted to welcome ADLINK Technology into the PROACT program," said Bryan Gurganus, hardware product manager, Continuous Computing Corp. "ADLINK's participation in the program reflects their strong commitment to interoperability and allows CCPU to provide customers with an even wider selection of Intel based See Intel-based system. products as part of our OPENblade(TM) Architecture family high-availability platform solutions for Intel, SPARC (Scalable Performance ARChitecture) A family of RISC CPUs from Sun that runs mostly under Sun's Solaris, but also under Linux and BSD operating systems. After development began in the mid-1980s by David Patterson of the University of California at Berkeley and Bill and PowerPC." Adding to an already impressive line of cross platform solutions, ADLINK brings a full line of Intel based products to PROACT. One of the ADLINK products that CCPU will introduce into the program is the world's first dual Low Voltage Low voltage is an electrical engineering term that broadly identifies safety considerations of an electricity supply system based on the voltage used. While different definitions exist for the exact voltage range covered by "low voltage", the most commonly used ones include "mains Intel(R) Xeon(TM) Processor based 6U CompactPCI single board computer. This single board computer supports state-of-the-art Xeon(TM) processors with CPU speeds up to 2.4 GHz, as well as Low Voltage Xeon(TM) 2.0 GHz processors for power sensitive applications. It is also the industry's first CompactPCI board to utilize the Intel(R) E7501 chipset, which supports up to 4GB of DDR-200 registered memory with ECC (1) (Error-Correcting Code) A type of memory that corrects errors on the fly. See ECC memory. (2) (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) A public key cryptography method that provides fast decryption and digital signature processing. . Dual Gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 Gbps. Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub. controllers provide the high-speed communications channels required for fault tolerance and redundancy. As a 66/33 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. 64/32-bit CompactPCI system controller, the single board computer supports PICMG An industry consortium that develops specifications for backplanes and interconnects for electronic equipment in the industrial and telecom fields. It was founded in 1994 as the PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group, hence the acronym. 2.16 packet switching backplane and PICMG 2.9 system management capabilities for high-end compute servers, telecommunication computers and mission-critical applications. "ADLINK is very pleased to be part of the Continuous Computing Corporation PROACT program," said Bruce P. McGrath, VP of sales and marketing, ADLINK Technology. "Our high performance Intel computing products will assist CCPU with their network platform solutions. In addition, this program will provide ADLINK with the opportunity to participate in this segment of the market." About PROACT The Partnership for Reliable, Open-Architecture Computing Technologies (PROACT) was established to ensure interoperability between CCPU computing solutions and industry-leading third party products. By partnering with other industry leaders, CCPU provides OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and customers with the widest array of hardware, protocol, and software product choices to meet their specific application platform requirements with the assurance that these products will integrate seamlessly.
