APCON APCON Advertising Practitioners Council of Nigeria APCON American Power Conversion, Inc Inc. is proud to announce a comprehensive UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). solution for continuous server uptime. POWERSWITCH is an affordable high availability Also called "RAS" (reliability, availability, serviceability) or "fault resilient," it refers to a multiprocessing system that can quickly recover from a failure. There may be a minute or two of downtime while one system switches over to another, but processing will continue. solution for UNIX Servers. The POWERSWITCH provides switching of external storage devices between primary and standby servers to ensure rapid recovery from system failures and avoid the potential disasters of system downtime. APCON's POWERSWITCH provides fully automated switching between similar or dissimilar servers to an external disk sub-system. The dual server design enables the standby server to be an active device on the network. APCON's POWERSWITCH for UNIX monitors data integrity. When it detects data corruption Data corruption refers to errors in computer data that occur during transmission or retrieval, introducing unintended changes to the original data. Computer storage and transmission systems use a number of measures to provide data integrity, the lack of errors. , the primary server is shut down and the standby server reboots and takes over. Automatic failure detection and corresponding failover services ensure the integrity of data without impacting network users. Systems can be configured to support multiple servers in a number of dynamic high availability configurations. With the POWERSWITCH solution, administrators can perform maintenance and trouble shooting without affecting mission critical applications or users. With the standby serving the network, there are no on demand maintenance costs to bring the network back on line. The POWERSWITCH is available for all common platforms and operating systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. . The UNIX POWERSWITCH high availability solution starts at $6,200 and does not require expensive systems training or administration. APCON is the industry leader in high availability solutions, designing network SCSI SCSI in full Small Computer System Interface Once common standard for connecting peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, etc.) to small and medium-sized computers. SCSI has given way to faster standards, such as Firewire and USB. solutions for all systems needs. Founded in 1986, APCON Inc. is located in Wilsonville. Formerly known as Applied Concepts, APCON provides complete customer satisfaction through technological innovation quality solutions and outstanding service and support.
