BiTMICRO's E-Disk SAN Solutions Achieve Solaris Ready Certification from Sun Microsystems.FREMONT, Calif. -- Solaris Customers Benefit from Ease of Installation, Seamless Operation and Interoperability BiTMICRO(R) Networks, a maker of intelligent flash IDE/ATA IDE/ATA Integrated Device Electronics/Advanced Technology Attachment (hard drive interface standard) , 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. , 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. , VME (Virtual Machine Environment) An operating system from Fujitsu Services (formerly ICL) that runs on its Series 39 mainframes. Introduced in 1975, VME is a comprehensive product that provides a variety of utilities for datacenter operations. , Compact PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). , PMC (1) See Portable Media Center. (2) (PCI Mezzanine Card) A PCI-based mezzanine card that is widely adapted to VMEbus, CompactPCI and PCI cards. , FireWire, Ethernet, and Fibre Channel solid state storage solutions, today announced it will support the Solaris(TM) 10 Operating System operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. (OS) on both 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 (R) and x86 platforms. Additionally, it has achieved Solaris Ready(TM) certification from Sun Microsystems Sun Microsystems, Inc.

Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :SUNW SUNW Sun Microsystems, Inc (former stock symbol; now JAVA) SUNW Stanford University Network Workstation (Sun Microsystems, Inc) ) for its line of E-Disk(R) SAN Fibre Channel rack mount systems. Today's announcements build on the E-Disk(R) IDE/ATA, Fibre Channel and SCSI Wide solid state disks (SSDs) product line strength by achieving the Solaris Ready certification. BiTMICRO's E-Disk(R) SAN Fibre Channel and SCSI rack mount systems provide fast access times to stored data for military, industrial and enterprise networks and also data integrity in case of power degradation or failure. Its scalability feature enables users to protect their investment in the SSD See solid state disk. arena. As demand for solid state storage grows, users can easily add the needed capacity by scaling up at the E-Disk(R) level or by easily interconnecting BiTMICRO's network solid state subsystems to create extremely large SSD storage pools. With enterprise storage requirements escalating and becoming more complex, factors such as data center consolidation, security, scalability and accessibility are becoming critical. BiTMICRO's E-Disk(R) SAN solutions can deliver the performance and scalability that IT managers require when running high-transaction applications on business-critical systems. Similarly, E-Disk(R) SAN solid state storage is suitable for industrial and military applications where ruggedness, reliability, high performance, and the ability to withstand very hostile environments off premises and field deployments are of utmost importance. "Customers want open, standards-based management for their storage platforms," stated Rudy Bruce, President of BiTMICRO Networks. "We strongly feel that earning customer confidence in the interoperability arena will further boost acceptance of our solid state SAN solutions in the military, industrial and enterprise market segments," adds Bruce. "Sun is pleased that BiTMICRO continues to deliver world-class SAN solutions that support Solaris 10 for both SPARC and x86 platforms," said Juan Carlos Soto, software CTO (Chief Technical Officer) The executive responsible for the technical direction of an organization.
