ADVA Optical Networking and INRANGE Successfully Complete 2G Fibre Channel Interoperability Testing.Business Editors & High-Tech Writers CeBIT 2003 MARTINSRIED/MUNICH, Germany & MAHWAH, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 19, 2003 ADVA ADVA American Deaf Volleyball Association ADVA Advanced Soviet Optical Networking Communications between computers, telephones and other electronic devices using light. An optical network is far more reliable and has far greater potential transmission capacity than networking in the electrical domain. See optical fiber. (FSE FSE 1. feline spongiform encephalopathy. 2. focal symmetrical encephalomalacia. : ADV ADV Advertisement ADV Adverb ADV Advance/Advanced ADV Advantage (tennis) ADV Advise ADV Advocate ADV Advancement ADV Advent ADV Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Datenverarbeitung ADV Adversus (Latin: Against) ), a leading global provider of optical networking solutions, today announced that Inrange Technologies Corporation (Nasdaq: INRG INRG Independent Navy Review Group ), a leading provider of high-availability, enterprise connectivity and storage networking solutions, has qualified ADVA's Fiber Service Platform (FSP FSP - File Service Protocol ) systems with INRANGE's complete line of IN-VSN(TM) FC/9000(TM) Fibre Channel Directors in INRANGE's Interoperability Initiative (I3) Lab, based in Lumberton, New Jersey. Based upon a mutually-agreed test plan, new FSP features including 2:1 Time Division Multiplexing (communications) time division multiplexing - (TDM) A type of multiplexing where two or more channels of information are transmitted over the same link by allocating a different time interval ("slot" or "slice") for the transmission of each channel. I.e. (TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) A technology that transmits multiple signals simultaneously over a single transmission path. Each lower-speed signal is time sliced into one high-speed transmission. ) functionality and 2 Gigabit Fibre Channel card were qualified with the 64-, 128-, and 256-port models of the FC/9000. Given the increasing deployment of storage solutions by carriers and enterprises worldwide, this comprehensive interoperability testing provides customers with a high level of assurance for transportation of their mission-critical applications. ADVA's FSP systems employ parallel use of Coarse/Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing See WDM. (communications) wavelength division multiplexing - (WDM) Multiplexing several Optical Carrier n signals on a single optical fibre by using different wavelengths (colours) of laser light to carry different signals. (C/DWDM) and TDM technology to enable up to 256 applications to be transported over one single fiber pair. Their robust character and ability to transport all protocols between 8Mbit/s and 10Gbit/s make the FSP an ideal solution particularly for large-scale, high-bandwidth storage networks. Since 1995, INRANGE has been partnering with ADVA to provide interoperable solutions that enable customers to benefit from secure, reliable data access across the network. As an Original Equipment Manufacturing (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 ) partner, INRANGE sells and supports the FSP products under the IN-VSN(TM) Spectrum label. With the industry's highest port capacity at 256-ports, INRANGE's FC/9000 Fibre Channel Director provides users with a fully-redundant, non-blocked switching core on which enterprises can simply manage and expand their storage networks. "The qualification of the FSP products with INRANGE's FC/9000 supports our continued efforts to deploy seamless storage networks with guaranteed high levels of assurance for our customers," commented Brian P. McCann, Chief Marketing & Strategy Officer at ADVA Optical Networking. "I3 interoperability testing assures customers that ADVA's Fiber Service Platform is fully interoperable with INRANGE's FC/9000, enabling customers to extend their storage networks across the enterprise and benefit from reliable and economical data availability Refers to the degree to which data can be instantly accessed. The term is mostly associated with service levels that are set up either by the internal IT organization or that may be guaranteed by a third party datacenter or storage provider. ," stated Dale A. Lafferty, Vice President of Marketing and Alliances at INRANGE Technologies. "INRANGE is committed to provide our customers with open interoperable storage networking solutions that enable the seamless integration An addition of a new application, routine or device that works smoothly with the existing system. It implies that the new feature or program can be installed and used without problems. Contrast with "transparent," which implies that there is no discernible change after installation. of newer technologies such as 2 Gigabit Fibre Channel."
