Ciprico to Demonstrate Storage Solutions for High Fidelity Imagery Applications During I/ITSEC 2000.Business Editors MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 21, 2000 Ciprico Inc. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : CPCI See CompactPCI. ) announced today that attendees at I/ITSEC I/ITSEC Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation, and Education Conference (Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference) in Orlando, Florida The city of Orlando is a major city in central Florida and is the county seat of Orange County, Florida. According to the 2000 census, the city population was 185,951. A 2006 U.S. , November 27-30, 2000, will see Ciprico's bandwidth capabilities with the FibreSTORE RAID storage solution as well as Ciprico's latest Fibre Channel product, NETarray, in booth 1157 at the Orlando Convention Center. Ciprico's newest product, the NETarray, will be providing playback for a demonstration of HDTV (High Definition TV) A set of digital television (DTV) standards that offer the highest resolution and sharpest picture. Although some HDTV sets are available in standard (rather square) screen sizes, the overwhelming majority of sets are wide screen, which eliminates resolution motion imagery. The NETarray simplifies storage management and maximizes Fibre Channel throughput by moving management out-of-band to an integrated Ethernet port. The configuration and monitoring of the array are supported over standard industry protocols SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) A widely used network monitoring and control protocol. Data are passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware and/or software processes reporting activity in each network device (hub, router, bridge, etc. , SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) The standard e-mail protocol on the Internet and part of the TCP/IP protocol suite, as defined by IETF RFC 2821. SMTP defines the message format and the message transfer agent (MTA), which stores and forwards the mail. , and FTP FTP in full file transfer protocol Internet protocol that allows a computer to send files to or receive files from another computer. Like many Internet resources, FTP works by means of a client-server architecture; the user runs client software to connect to . These tools make the NETarray a truly platform independent solution. It also provides multiple RAID levels of 0,1,1+0, 3, 5 and 5+1, and industry leading storage density by packing 730 GB into a 5.25 inches high enclosure. This overall performance provides an outstanding solution for applications found in modeling, simulation and imagery. The NETarray will also be part of a demonstration in Edgemark Systems booth 1058. Edgemark Systems is a Federal reseller of Ciprico storage solutions. Ciprico's second demonstration will feature the SAN ready FibreSTORE RAID as the source for all terrain and texture data for 360,000 sq. mile geo-specific database and material map, with resolutions up to .5m/texel. AFRL Noun 1. AFRL - a United States Air Force defense laboratory responsible for discovering and developing and integrating fighting technologies for aerospace forces Air Force Research Laboratory U. S. and Aechelon Technology will feature this database in a high fidelity, multi-spectral flight simulation application in the SGI (SGI, Sunnyvale, CA, www.sgi.com) A manufacturer of workstations and servers, founded in 1982 by Jim Clark. The company was founded as Silicon Graphics, Inc., but changed to its acronym in 1999. booth. The FibreSTORE RAID provides the real-time consistency and high bandwidth performance necessary for high fidelity playback, full redundancy for 7X24 operation, and can be scaled to tens of terabytes as the size of the imagery databases grow. "Ciprico is the pre-eminent storage provider for the modeling, simulation and image market place," said Ciprico's Director of Vertical Marketing, Rich Vignes. "Our product line covers the demands of vis-sim applications including solutions for databases of geo-specific imagery and sensor simulation, as well as sharing files between different computer platforms using Storage Area Networks (SAN) technology." Aechelon Technology, a leader in real time computer graphics applications, will also be utilizing the Fibre STORE RAID storage solution in all of its I/ITSEC demonstrations. Aechelon Technology is a supplier of COTS-based, geo-specific image generators, OTW OTW Otherwise OTW Off The Wall OTW On the Way OTW On the Whole OTW Of The World (online TV network) OTW On The Web OTW Out the Window (display/graphics) OTW On The Water and correlated sensor databases and integration services. Members of the Aechelon Technology team have developed and deployed several training and engineering simulators for gunnery, ground warfare, and aircraft such as Eurofighter EF2000, F16 and F15 and mission training databases for the Air Force Research Labs in Distributed Mission Training (DMT See DSL. ) and Night Vision Training System environments. Most recently, Aechelon Technology successfully completed the delivery of the visual system for the AV-8B Harrier Radar Night Attack Trainer Visual Upgrade Program in Yuma, AZ. Ciprico's end-to-end storage solutions can also be found demonstrated with Aechelon Technology solutions in the Barco booth 1242 and the Navy booth 440.
