Adaptec First to Deliver ISP Server Storage Connectivity to the Channel.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 12, 2000 Low-Profile Ultra160 SCSI Adapter See SCSI host adapter. Brings Industry's Fastest Storage Bandwidth to Rack-Mount Servers Used in ISPs, Enterprises, and E-Businesses Adaptec, Inc. (Nasdaq:ADPT ADPT Automated Data Processing/Telecommunications ADPT Adaptec Corporation (stock symbol) ADPT Adaptive Prediction ADPT Auger Depth Profiling Technique ADPT Automated Data Processing Telecommunications ADPT Adapter ), the global leader in innovative storage solutions, today announced the availability to VARs and resellers of its Ultra160 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. low-profile host bus adapter See host adapter. designed for modular rack-mount servers. This adapter, the Adaptec SCSI Card 29160LP, doubles the speed of Ultra2 and provides all the performance, functionality and affordability of the acclaimed Adaptec Ultra160 SCSI line in a low-profile format. As the first to deliver this new solution to the distribution channel, Adaptec extends the leadership it established by first delivering the Ultra160 SCSI technology to the channel, solidifying the widespread industry acceptance and rollout of Ultra160 solutions. "Low-profile rack-mount servers are increasingly popular with ISPs, ASPs and large enterprises," said Jeff Loebbaka, vice president of corporate and channel marketing at Adaptec. "These servers are smaller, require high storage bandwidth, are easier to use and are more cost-effective compared to traditional servers. Servers running e-business applications require the fastest in storage connectivity performance and Adaptec is leading the way." The Adaptec SCSI Card 29160LP conforms to the MD2 low-profile form factor standard and provides the highest performance on a single channel 64-bit PCI card A circuit board that plugs into the computer's PCI bus and contains the control electronics for a peripheral device. Starting in the latter half of the 1990s, PCI became very popular. See PCI. . Ultra160 SCSI provides twice the performance of Ultra2 SCSI See Ultra SCSI. at 160 MBytes/sec, offering the storage bandwidth that ISPs and Internet solutions require within an increasingly popular platform for Intel Architecture-based server deployment. Extensively tested by Adaptec on over a dozen operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. versions and hundreds of computer systems, Adaptec's Ultra160 SCSI solutions offer the highest levels of compatibility and reliability. The Ultra160 SCSI cards use the same accessories as Ultra2 SCSI, eliminating the need for new LVD See LVDS. LVD - Low Voltage Differential SCSI cables or terminators. In addition, new management features provide greater data integrity preservation at higher transfer rates. Adaptec's Ultra160 SCSI technology is well positioned to be a crucial part of what empowers the Internet industry: the ability to move and transfer data at the speed of e-business. Offered in a form factor that suits modular rack-mount environments, Ultra160 performance is prepared to be an integral part of ISP (1) See in-system programmable. (2) (Internet Service Provider) An organization that provides access to the Internet. Connection to the user is provided via dial-up, ISDN, cable, DSL and T1/T3 lines. , enterprise and e-business solutions.
