CLARiiON introduces TeleStor disk array for demanding central office and switch room applications in the telecommunications industry.LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 4, 1997-- CLARiiON TeleStor Designed Specifically To Bellcore Network Equipment Building System (NEBS) Requirements Motorola and CLARiiON Demonstrate Specialized Computing Solutions at Computer Telephony See CTI, VoIP and IP telephony. Computer Telephony - Computer Telephone Integration Expo `97 CLARiiON(r), the leading provider of open RAID-based storage solutions and a business unit of Data General Corporation, today announced its new specialized storage solution for the telecommunications industry - the CLARiiON TeleStor(TM) Disk Array. TeleStor provides users with a complete storage solution for paging, multimedia, voice messaging Using voice mail as an alternative to electronic mail, in which voice messages are intentionally recorded, not because the recipient was not available. systems, billing, and operations administration maintenance and provisioning systems. The announcement was made in conjunction with the Motorola Computer Group at the Computer at the Computer Telephony Expo '97 (booth #3735, at the Los Angeles Convention Center The Los Angeles Convention Center (abbreviated LACC) is a convention center in downtown Los Angeles. The LACC hosts annual events such as the Greater Los Angeles Auto Show, and was best known to video games fans as host to E3 until its cessation in 2006. ). The companies displayed the new TeleStor disk array attached to Motorola eXchange Ready(TM) XR Series PowerPC Server, demonstrating the combination's ability to manage demanding Central Office and switch room applications. Motorola is one of the first server vendors to resell the CLARiiON TeleStor disk array. "The CLARiiON TeleStor disk array sets a new standard for open systems storage capabilities in the telecommunications industry," said Gary Wright Gary Wright (born 26 April 1943, Cresskill, New Jersey, U.S.) is an American musician, most famous for his song, "Dream Weaver". Career Wright, a personal friend of George Harrison, appeared in a TV show at the age of seven. , director of product marketing for CLARiiON. "TeleStor delivers the highest capacity, highest performing, NEBS-compatible storage solution available today." CLARiiON TeleStor Features CLARiiON TeleStor provides the following specialized packaging features: -- Protection against extended temperature ranges and earthquake shock and vibration as specified by NEBS -- Fire resistance and front serviceability as specified by NEBS -- Dual isolated -48 VDC VDC Volts Direct Current VDC Venture Development Corporation VDC Vehicle Dynamic Control VDC Village Development Committee (Nepal) VDC Virtual Data Center VdC Verband der Cigarettenindustrie power feeds as well as, the proven architectural features that have already made the other members of the CLARiiON disk array family leaders in their respective markets (i.e., UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). , NT, etc.), such as: -- Uninterrupted access to data and applications -- Uncompromised data integrity -- Exceptional online performance -- Scalable capacity for future growth requirements -- Redundant architecture - no single points of failure "The CLARiiON TeleStor disk array is just the storage solution we have been looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment. Antithesis of in touch with. to complement our industry leading XR Series Server," said Cousy Maher, product marketing manager of technical OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and systems at Motorola Computer Group. "The Motorola/CLARiiON telecommunications computing solution offers customers unmatched performance, superb data integrity, and scalable capacity for future growth." Motorola will attach the CLARiiON TeleStor disk array on its eXchange Ready XR Series PowerPC Server. The XR Series computer platforms feature high-performance PowerPC-based processors and an AIX (Advanced Interactive eXecutive) IBM's Unix-based operating system which runs on its Intellistation workstations and pSeries, p5, iSeries and i5 server families.
