The newest member of 2C Computing's Cstation line of products, the B1000-HP won top honors in the Enterprise Network Infrastructure category. The B1000-HP enables Hewlett-Packard's BH blade server A server architecture that houses multiple server modules ("blades") in a single chassis. It is widely used in datacenters to save space and improve system management. Either self-standing or rack mounted, the chassis provides the power supply, and each blade has its own CPU, memory and line to be converted to desktop blades. Cstation technology extends all of the benefits of blades outward to the enterprise area, while preserving the inherent benefits of Cstations and centralized PC resources. Cstations - awarded Best New Desktop technology this spring at FOSE FOSE Federal Office Systems Exposition - are driven by Digital Extension Technology, enabling customers to "backrack" PCs to a central, secure data center as far as 800 meters away from the end user. Connected from the data center to the desktop Cstation via CAT 5 or fiber optic cabling, end-users can continue to work with complete PC functionality, multi-media, and full peripheral support. With the addition of the B1000-HP, the benefits inherent to Cstation technology are enhanced with the higher reliability and adaptive on-the-fly reconfiguration capabilities of the HP blade computer to provide both superior uptime and faster failure recovery time. With its compactPCI interface card, the desktop B1000-HP can be connected directly to HP's blade computer over the same CAT 5 wiring already installed and located at every end user's cubicle or office. At the desktop, the keyboard, video and mouse are plugged into the Cstation along with USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. , serial, audio, and parallel devices. The Cstation is expected to be introduced by the end of 2002. "We're very pleased to be acknowledged as the Best Startup Company, as we begin our transition into the next phase of growth.
