Adax Announces SS7 Power for Sun's Netra ft 1800 Fault Tolerant Telecommunications Server.Business Editors/High Tech Writers BERKELEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 2, 2000 Adax Inc., a world leader in innovative Wide Area Network (WAN) hardware and software solutions for OSI (1) (Open System Interconnection) An ISO standard for worldwide communications that defines a framework for implementing protocols in seven layers. Control is passed from one layer to the next, starting at the application layer in one station, proceeding to the layers 1-3, today announced availability of its powerful, best-in-class, Common Channel Signaling
Adax's SS7 PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). controller boards combined with Sun's fault tolerant, carrier-grade Netra ft 1800 server, deliver increased bandwidth and minimal CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. utilization for telco applications. In addition, Adax's ANC-TCX daughter cards can now be used to bring T1/E1 functionality straight to the Netra ft 1800. Adax and Sun provide best-in-class solutions for the telco industry, with many of the world's premier network equipment providers and telecom carriers using them together with great success. &uot;Working with Sun, and integrating our products on their carrier-grade fault-tolerant ft 1800 server, strengthens Adax's ability to deliver 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. architectures to our customers worldwide,&uot; said Mike Ghodoosian, V.P. of Sales and Marketing at Adax Inc. &uot;We believe Adax's products are well suited for the Netra ft 1800 server. The telecommunications industry demands a server that can offer carrier-grade reliability and scalability, along with fault-tolerance for continuous computing  This article about a company does not make it clear whether the subject meets the Wikipedia criteria for . ,&uot; said Neil Knox, Vice President and General Manager of Network Systems at Sun Microsystems. &uot;Adax's line of high performance products easily integrate with the ft 1800 server. This allows network service providers to develop and deploy services on a common Sparc/ Solaris Operating environment platform, including the ft 1800, which greatly minimizes time-to-market.&uot; About Adax Adax designs, develops, and supports WAN hardware and software solutions for high-value datacom and telecom Network Equipment Providers. Adax has demonstrated compatibility with Sun's SPARC (Scalable Performance ARChitecture) A family of RISC CPUs from Sun that runs mostly under Sun's Solaris, but also under Linux and BSD operating systems. After development began in the mid-1980s by David Patterson of the University of California at Berkeley and Bill CPUs on both the SBus and PCI bus with the Solaris Operating System. The product line is modular and highly flexible allowing any reasonable product combinations to support rapid application development and quick time to market. Our protocol controllers, network controllers, and software modules maximize connectivity on open-systems servers and form the foundation of computer networks that connect the world. Common channel signaling software is available for both Signaling System 7 (SS7) and Signaling ATM Adaptation Layer (SAAL) in addition to standard WAN protocols including Frame Relay/PPP, ATM, and X.25. Fielded solutions are server-based wire-line and wireless applications that include adjunct processors, Internet/intranet access multiplexers and the Advanced Intelligent Network.
