Allied Telesyn Votes for Gigabit Ethernet with New Copper and Fiber Adapters.Business Editors/Technology Writers BOTHELL, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 11, 2001 Richly featured and attractively priced AT-2930 series leave few barriers to deploying desirable 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. performance 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-2930 series Gigabit Ethernet adapters. These 10/100/1000 PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). Gigabit Ethernet server adapters are designed to match the high bandwidth server and switch connections available in today's sophisticated network environments. By providing ten times the speed of traditional Fast Ethernet An earlier name for 100Mbps Ethernet. See 100Base-T. (networking) Fast Ethernet - A version of Ethernet developed in the 1990s(?) which can carry 100 Mbps compared with standard Ethernet's 10 Mbps. It requires upgraded network cards and hubs. adapters, the AT-2930 series can instantly and cost-effectively improve application response, server reliability, and network scalability. Designed for both copper and fiber networks, the AT-2930 series can be rapidly deployed for immediate performance improvements. For the most cost-effective upgrades to an existing copper LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. backbone, the AT-2930T will meet the challenge. For designs that require the distance benefits of fiber, the AT-2930SX delivers Gigabit connectivity up to 2km. "Allied Telesyn continues to aggressively target markets where demands on price/performance are rapidly increasing. The Gigabit adapter market is no exception," said Jim Berthot, Head of the Americas and Senior Vice President of Allied Telesyn. "By delivering a best-of-breed solution to high-end Gigabit connectivity, Allied Telesyn is bringing to the market copper and fiber Gigabit adapters at price points that meet a growing expectation for improved performance at achievable prices." 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 and 32bit/33MHz PCI bus PCI bus - Peripheral Component Interconnect systems, the AT-2930 series 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 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 Gigabit throughput, Gigabit performance and Gigabit reliability. The AT-2930 series also combines high performance with rich functionality. Full duplex (Computers) arranged so that the information may be transmitted in both directions simultaneously; - of communications channels between computers; contrasted with VLAN - Virtual Local Area Network tagging for up to 64 VLANs and 802.1P Layer 2 priority tagging. The AT-2930T and AT-2930SX/SC are available now at U.S. list prices of $199 and $499, respectively. A great value for optimizing network performance, the AT-2930 series are shipped with lifetime warranties and free technical support.
