APCON Reduces POWERLINK Pricing.PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 15, 1998-- Highlights: -- Priced for Performance -- New price effective immediately -- Supports Disaster Recovery applications -- Supports Digital Linear Tape (storage) Digital Linear Tape Refers to magnetic tape in which one or more recording tracks run parallel with the length of the tape. Contrast with helical scan. - (DLT) A kind of magnetic tape drive originally developed by DEC and now marketed by Quantum. DLT drives implement the Digital Lempel Ziv 1 (DLZ1) compression algorithm in a combination of hardware and firmware. They use a popular chip by Stac (now hi/fn) to do the string searching. Counting, sorting and Huffman encoding are done in firmware (with hardware support for the Huffman algorithm?). Units In an effort to assist Digital Linear Tape users to enhance disaster recovery and data backup plans, APCON APCON - American Power Conversion, Inc, Inc. is pleased to announce a price reduction in its POWERLINK fiber optic SCSI bus extender extender /ex·ten·der/ (ek-sten´der) something that enlarges or prolongs. artificial plasma extender a substance that can be transfused to maintain fluid volume of the blood in event of great necessity, supplemental to the use of whole blood and plasma. .

As an ideal tool to support businesses in developing disaster recovery plans, POWERLINK provides remote access to high-speed DLT libraries, located up to 10 Km from the host computer. Additionally, the fiber optic extender is fully compatible with other peripheral devices including RAID arrays, optical jukeboxes and CD-ROM towers. The POWERLINK is an easy to setup, space-saving unit that is fully rack mountable. System administrators can utilize POWERLINK's control software to remotely operate and control selection of other extender interfaces, gather performance statistics and initiate on-board diagnostic testing for system maintenance and overall operation. APCON, Inc. designs, manufactures and markets a complete line of SCSI enhancement products including SCSI bus repeaters, extenders, differential converters, and SCSI switches Shared Vs. Switched Switched SCSI eliminates many limitations, including bandwidth, cable distance and number of devices. The switch has a backplane capable of handling the full SCSI bandwidth at each of its ports.  Extending the Limitations GigaLabs pioneered the SCSI switch, but later went out of business. This JigSaw 8-slot model provided 16 non-blocking ports between SCSI devices.. Products are sold worldwide through a network of distributors and resellers.
