Allied Telesyn's New Gigabit Ethernet Adapter: Always On, Always Up, Always Fast.Business Editors, High-Tech Writers BOTHELL, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 27, 2000 Server-Strength AT-2970T 1000Base-T NIC (1) (Network Interface Card) See network adapter. See also InterNIC. (2) (New Internet Computer) An earlier Linux-based computer from The New Internet Computer Company (NICC), Palo Alto, CA. minimizes 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, maximizes network speed, and secures network up-time with optional port redundancy Allied Telesyn International (www.alliedtelesyn.com), a worldwide leader in simplifying IP networking for businesses of all sizes, today announced the newest in its line of flexible, reliable, high-performance, networking tools -- the AT-2970T series Gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 Gbps. Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub. Server Adapters. This introduction presents yet another strong addition to the company's product lines, and further demonstrates Allied Telesyn's commitment to high-speed, highly reliable networking products. Optimized to support both 64bit/66MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). and 32bit/33MHz PCI bus PCI bus - Peripheral Component Interconnect systems, the AT-2970T 1000Base-T adapter utilizes a highly-advanced and efficient ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Pronounced "a-sick." A chip that is custom designed for a specific application rather than a general-purpose chip such as a microprocessor. that enables support for true 64-bit wide throughput between the Gigabit Ethernet MAC interface and the PCI bus. This ensures complete compatibility and maximum performance while reducing CPU utilization for Gigabit throughput, Gigabit performance and Gigabit reliability. "Allied Telesyn is entering the Gigabit-over-copper market at a time when demand for the technology is increasing," said Melvyn Wray, Allied Telesyn's Senior Vice President of Corporate Marketing. "By delivering a best-of-breed solution to high-end Gigabit connectivity, Allied Telesyn is bringing to the market precisely what it needs and at a price point that meets a growing expectation for improved price/performance." Companies that depend on their networks need performance and reliability -- the AT-2970T has features designed to ensure the best of both. Because time spent transferring data to and from the network is time taken away from applications, the AT-2970T was designed specifically to minimize demands on the CPU, so that the CPU is free for other tasks. To keep mission-critical networks up and running, the AT-2970 series offers a dual port version, the AT-2970T2, that delivers full service on one port, and keeps its second port active as a redundant link which takes over full service -- automatically -- in the event of a cable, port or switch failure. Its limited lifetime warranty further demonstrates the reliability of the AT-2970T. These new high-performance server adapters support the 64bit/66MHz PCI bus bandwidth specification of 533MBps. At speeds four times that of conventional 32-bit systems, the full-duplex AT-2970 will never be the bottleneck, and compatibility with 32-bit systems is ensured through dual address cycle mode. In addition, both the single and dual port AT-2970 adapters allow 64-bit addressing in a single cycle to address more than 4 GB of RAM -- a huge performance-enhancing feature in itself. The single-port AT-2970T and dual-port AT-2970T/2 are available now at U.S, list prices of $749 and $1699, respectively. A great value now for optimizing network performance, the AT-2970T adapters' lifetime warranties and free technical support will maintain their value well into the future.
