Wong will be joined by CTO's from Adaptec, Alacritus Software, Hitachi, DotHill Systems, Infinicon Systems and Network Appliance (1) A specialized device for use on a network. For example, Web servers, cache servers and file servers can be implemented as general-purpose computers with the appropriate software or as network appliances, which are computers dedicated to a single function and cannot do anything . At the conference, Wong will also demonstrate Akara's "Storage over SONET" solution for affordable and reliable storage extension. Akara's OUSP OUSP Optical Utility Services Platform will multiplex data center protocols such as Fibre Channel (FC), ESCON (Enterprise Systems CONnection) An IBM S/390 fiber-optic channel that transfers 17 Mbytes/sec over distances up to 60 km depending on connection type. ESCON allows peripheral devices to be located across large campuses and metropolitan areas. and GbE over SONET payloads and transport them over an extended fiber distance. Wong will also be presenting at Opticon 2002, a conference running in parallel with Storage World Conference at the San Jose Convention Center. He will participate in a panel discussion that will address "Bringing Optical Services to the Enterprise." Where: San Jose Convention Center, San Jose, CA When: The Storage World Conference CTO panel will take place on Tuesday, August 20, 2002 at 2:00 pm.

About Akara Akara, the Storage over SONET market leader, is the only equipment supplier with a singular focus on extending business continuance applications between data centers with the lowest MByte per mile cost across existing MAN/WAN networks. Akara's solutions significantly reduces operational and capital expense by leveraging the existing SONET/SDH, dark fiber or DWDM (Dense WDM) The term given to wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) when significantly more channels were being added. Since WDM is increasingly more "dense" all the time, both terms are used synonymously. See WDM. DWDM - wavelength division multiplexing networks, and ensures the performance of Fibre Channel, ESCON, FICON (FIber CONnector) An IBM mainframe channel introduced with its G5 servers in 1998. Based on the Fibre Channel standard, it boosts the transfer rate of ESCON's half-duplex 17MB/sec to a full-duplex 100MB/sec. and Gigabit Ethernet in geographically dispersed business continuance applications.
