Cisco Systems, FORE Systems and Newbridge Networks participate in multivendor, ATM interoperability demonstration; ARIES project revolutionizes the process of energy exploration and production.SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 12, 1995--Networking systems vendors Cisco Systems “Cisco” redirects here. For other uses, see Cisco (disambiguation). Cisco System,Inc. (NASDAQ: CSCO, HKSE: 4333 ) is an American multinational corporation with 54,000 employees and annual revenue of US $28.48 billion as of 2006. Inc., FORE Systems Inc. and Newbridge Networks today announced their participation in a multivendor demonstration of Asynchronous Transfer Mode See ATM. (communications) Asynchronous Transfer Mode - (ATM, or "fast packet") A method for the dynamic allocation of bandwidth using a fixed-size packet (called a cell). See also ATM Forum, Wideband ATM.

The demonstration is part of the ATM Research and Industrial Enterprise Study (ARIES Aries (âr`ēz) [Lat.,=the ram], constellation lying on the ecliptic (the sun's apparent path through the heavens) between Taurus and Pisces; it is one of the constellations of the zodiac. It contains the bright star Hamal (Alpha Arietis). ) project, a joint development of member companies of the American Petroleum Institute The American Petroleum Institute, commonly referred to as API, is the main U.S. trade association for the oil and natural gas industry, representing about 400 corporations involved in production, refinement, distribution, and many other aspects of the industry. that will explore the capabilities of ATM technology to revolutionize the process of energy exploration and production. The demonstration will take place during NASA's Advanced Communications Technology Satellite (ACTS) Results conference at the Stouffer Renaissance Hotel in Cleveland, Ohio, on Sept. 13, 1995. ARIES is supported by a network that demonstrates interoperability between Cisco Systems' LightStream 2020, FORE Systems' ForeRunner ASX-200 and Newbridge Networks' 36150 Main Street ATMnet Access ATM switches. The network will link high-speed digital satellites to ships at sea and data processing centers on land. This demonstration is the second in a series building toward a fully interactive digital information transfer that will support U.S. defense, weather forecasting and natural resource exploration and production applications. "This project illustrates the ability to form partnerships among private and public sectors to tackle complex technical challenges," said David Beering, ARIES project director. "ATM technology will allow us to deploy the type of network needed to support our real-time, graphics-intensive applications. With the support of vendors like Cisco, FORE and Newbridge, we are confident of meeting our objectives." Cost Savings In order to reduce the risks and costs associated with finding and developing new sources of energy, the global energy industry relies on joint ventures in exploration and production. The current process involves the collection of data (which is stored on tape media), transfer of the data to a processing center and delivery to the joint venture partners for further processing. This method is costly, time consuming and often delays the decision-making process. The use of a high-speed ATM communication network represents a potential savings of tens of millions of dollars per year. ATM networks offer a number of significant advantages, including scalable bandwidth, virtual networking and integrated traffic support. ATM technology's connection-orientation and self-routing capabilities support high-speed switching and minimize network delays. The worldwide market for ATM equipment and services will grow to more than $4.5 billion by 1997, according to Gartner Group, a Stamford, Conn., consultancy. Cisco Systems Inc.
