BiTMICRO Networks Delivers Rugged and Highly Secure Solid State Storage in a Unique, Transportable Form Factor.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers COTScon West SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 2, 2003 E-Disk(R) Transit Introduced at Military & Aerospace Electronics COTScon West 2003 BiTMICRO(R) Networks, a pioneer in intelligent flash ATA (1) (AT Attachment) The specification for IDE drives. See IDE. (2) See analog telephone adapter. ATA - Advanced Technology Attachment / IDE, 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). , Firewire, Ethernet, and Fibre Channel non-volatile flash disk drive solid state storage solutions, announced today a new member of the rugged family of its flash solid-state storage solutions at Military & Aerospace Electronics COTScon West 2003. BiTMICRO Networks continues to provide innovative solutions in the field of portable and highly reliable solid-state storage solutions with the introduction of E-Disk(R) Transit. A lot of interest is being generated by the military as well as the industrial market in the fields of high-speed data acquisition and recording such as those in airborne applications, transportation and even off-premises telecommunications equipment where harsh environments prevail. Ideal for applications requiring rapid, frequent swaps, BiTMICRO's High Cycle (HC) receivers and drive modules bring frequent insertion and removal capabilities to systems with the patented SCSI Disconnect technology, providing true "hot swap To pull out a component from a system and plug in a new one while the main power is still on. Also called "hot plug" and "hot insertion," hot swap is a feature of USB devices, allowing an external drive, network adapter or other peripheral to be plugged in without having to power down the " removal for secure and rugged needs. In-line patented SCSI Disconnect modules provide SCSI bus isolation in shared devices and host environments where devices can be physically or logically removed from the bus while guaranteeing uninterrupted operation of the remaining connected devices. For mission critical security requirements, BiTMICRO's patented secureErase(R) software utility kicks into action upon receipt of a SCSI erase command from the host or while in transport -- upon user intervention with a press of a button on the carrier in the module. Moreover, its U.S. Government compliant data security feature guarantees that device sanitization sanitization /san·i·ti·za·tion/ (-ti-za´shun) the process of making or the quality of being made sanitary. san·i·ti·za·tion n. of sensitive data is performed quickly beyond retrieval. When complemented by patented PowerGuard(R), ungraceful power shutdowns or loss will not prevent the erase procedure from completing or automatically reactivating to complete the erase process. The user may even choose to delay the securErase(R) process by up to a maximum of 6 hours of losing power to the E-Disk during transport. "Industrial and military applications have usually been restricted to employing bulky and heavy payloads for the physical movement and transport of highly sensitive Adj. 1. highly sensitive - readily affected by various agents; "a highly sensitive explosive is easily exploded by a shock"; "a sensitive colloid is readily coagulated" data. E-Disk(R) Transit takes the lead in providing a much more convenient data loading and reloading Reloading A term lenders commonly use to refer to the habits of borrowers taking out loans to repay the balance on other loans. Often reloading is done to take advantage of lower interest rates offered by other loans, and potential tax benefits. process for our customers' data transport requirements," comments Rudy Bruce, President of BiTMICRO Networks Inc. "Not only does E-Disk(R) Transit ensure confidentiality of our customers' data, BiTMICRO has also gone the extra mile with its unique and rugged drive carrier packaging that provides enhanced post-mission protection for extremely valuable data," adds Bruce. E-Disk(R) Transit products come in SCSI Narrow, SCSI Wide and Fibre Channel interfaces using proven solid-state Flash-based E-Disk(R) technology, in a rugged industry standard 5.25-inch half-height or low profile module. The removable drive modules also come with an optional write protect switch. E-Disk(R) Transit does not require device drivers for installation and operation, with capacities ranging from 512MB to 122.9GB on the half-height modules and 512MB to 53.4GB on the low profile series. The E-Disk(R) Transit is being showcased at the Military & Aerospace Electronics COTScon West 2003 Conference, San Diego Concourse, Booth 307, San Diego, California “San Diego” redirects here.
