Adaptec has recently introduced 10 ATM NICs that enable desktop computers and departmental servers to connect to corporate computing resources and the enterprise network backbone -- with the scalability and performance advantages of ATM. The NICs operate at the industry-standard speed of 155 Mbps or the Desktop ATM25 Alliance's 25.6 Mbps. The cards are available for SBus-, PCI- and Micro Channel-based computers. Adaptec's Build a Better Server products are designed to enable system manufacturers and resellers to develop and market robust network servers with optimum I/O capabilities. Adaptec CI/O software, an integral part of the solutions, provides network managers with powerful, time-saving tools for remote management and monitoring of Small Computer System Interface (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. ) subsystems in servers. Additionally, Adaptec has launched a family of new SCSI host adapters for PCI, featuring multiple Fast SCSI (10Mbytes/sec.) channels which enable servers to connect to as many as 30 peripherals. Among these board-level products is the industry's first low-cost PCI Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks - Redundant Arrays of Independent Disks (RAID) adapter. Adaptec Inc. (NASDAQ:ADPT), designs, manufactures and markets IOware solutions to eliminate performance bottlenecks between computers, networks and peripherals. Solutions range from simple connectivity products for single-user and small-office desktops, to intelligent subsystem, high-performance SCSI, RAID and ATM products for enterprise-wide computing and networked environments. Adaptec I/O solutions are incorporated into the products of virtually all the major computer and peripheral manufacturers around the world.
