Continuous Computing Launches switchUp 8G; A New 8-Port Gigabit Switch for CompactPCI Telecom Systems.Business Editors & High-Tech Writers SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 3, 2001 Continuous Computing Corp.(CCPU CCPU Continuous Computing Corporation (stock symbol) CCPU Cash Cost Per User (Sprint) CCPU China Criminal Police University CCPU Cryptographic Central Processing Unit ), the leading provider of high-availability platform solutions for telecom equipment manufacturers, today announced the launch of its switchUp 8G(TM) Gigabit Ethernet switch for CompactPCI applications. The first Gigabit Ethernet switch in a 6U compactPCI form factor, the switchUp 8G is an 8-port non-blocking, fully managed switch with eight 1000Base-TX ports accessible through the rear transition board. With rear I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output for clean system cabling and easy card replacement, the switchUp 8G also provides full support for either standard compactPCI or PICMG An industry consortium that develops specifications for backplanes and interconnects for electronic equipment in the industrial and telecom fields. It was founded in 1994 as the PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group, hence the acronym. 2.16 packet switched backplane systems. The switch provides full-wire speed Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching supporting up to 8k MAC address, 512kB of packet buffer memory, full-duplex flow control and half-duplex backpressure handling, and IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 802.1p/Q Quality of Service. Designed around industry standards, the switchUp 8G enables high-speed communication between elements in compactPCI high-availability systems without the need for external hubs that often block airflow. Its vertical, low-power design increases system density, lowers cost and provides seamless system integration. Operating in either a CompactPCI slot or in an isolated backplane, the switchUp 8G supports both TCP/IP TCP/IP in full Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Standard Internet communications protocols that allow digital computers to communicate over long distances. and serial management interfaces. Offering 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. (Simple Network Management Protocol) and Web-based network management, as well as telnet for remote console control and RMON (Remote MONitoring) Enhancements to the management information base (MIB) structure used by the simple network management protocol (SNMP). In 1991, RMON added comprehensive network monitoring capabilities. (Remote MONitoring) support, the switchUp 8G provides a complete network management solution. Prices for switchUp 8G start at $5,200 (USD USD In currencies, this is the abbreviation for the U.S. Dollar. Notes: The currency market, also known as the Foreign Exchange market, is the largest financial market in the world, with a daily average volume of over US $1 trillion. ), depending on configuration.
