ADVISORY/ Sandburst Corporation's Eric Spada to Present at the Network Processors Conference East.Business/Technology Editors Network Processors Conference East 2002 ADVISORY..for Thursday (June 27) ANDOVER, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 24, 2002 Presentation Will Focus on Delivering Optimized Chip Technology for Packet Switched Environments Sandburst Corporation, a leading developer of packet switching A network technology that breaks up a message into small packets for transmission. Unlike circuit switching, which requires the establishment of a dedicated point-to-point connection, each packet in a packet-switched network contains a destination address. solutions for the networking industry, is pleased to announce that Eric Spada, senior systems architect, will be a featured panelist pan·el·ist n. A member of a panel. Noun 1. panelist - a member of a panel panellist panel - a group of people gathered for a special purpose as to plan or discuss an issue or judge a contest etc and presenter at the Network Processors Conference East, to be held in Framingham, MA June 25-27. To remain competitive in the metropolitan area network and enterprise data center markets, network service providers must develop more sophisticated services while maximizing their return on new investments. To meet these requirements, equipment providers are challenged to deliver mission critical networking equipment that can support advanced services such as Virtual Private Networks (VPN (Virtual Private Network) A private network that is configured within a public network (a carrier's network or the Internet) in order to take advantage of the economies of scale and management facilities of large networks. ), transparent LAN services A service from a carrier that links remote Ethernets together. It is called "transparent" because the connected Ethernets are viewed as one Ethernet by the customer, regardless of the technology employed by the carrier in between. , and differentiated quality of service. Developers must also offer cost effective solutions that can easily scale to 10 Gbps line rates as bandwidth demands increase. Spada's presentation discusses the market advantages of using optimized chip sets for packet switched environments. He will present the details of Sandburst's HiBeam packet switch architecture and chip technology. In addition to his presentation, Mr. Spada will participate in a roundtable with other industry luminaries to discuss innovations in the switch fabric market.
