DPT announces new PCI to Ultra Wide SCSI Host Adapter, doubling SCSI bandwidth and performance from 20 to 40Mbytes/second.MAITLAND, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 14, 1995--Distributed Processing Technology (DPT), a leading supplier and pioneer of high performance 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. and Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) solutions, Tuesday announced the development of a PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). to Ultra Wide to SCSI adapter while exhibiting at Booth No. 2668 at the Las Vegas Convention Center The Las Vegas Convention Center is owned and operated by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority and is located in Clark County, Nevada. It is one of the largest Convention centers in the world. At the end of 2004, the center had 3. during Comdex/Fall '95. The Ultra Wide SCSI technology increases the SCSI bus clock from 10MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. to 20mhz and doubles the data transfer rate from 20Mbytes/second to 40Mbytes/second. "Ultra SCSI is an evolutionary enhancement to the proven parallel SCSI technology," said Dave Race, vice president of strategic planning for DPT. "It provides system vendors with a significant increase in performance with minimal effort. We anticipate the majority of our 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 customers will adopt Ultra SCSI within the next 12 months." DPT is a leading supplier of high performance peripheral controllers, disk array products and storage management software for microcomputers. DPT's innovative technology includes the first caching disk controller and disk mirroring (RAID-1) controller for the PC. DPT products are made in the U.S.A. and are sold worldwide in more than 70 countries through a network of major distributors and OEMs, with 30 percent of DPT sales to international markets. The privately held company privately held company A firm whose shares are held within a relatively small circle of owners and are not traded publicly. was founded in 1977 by DPT President Steve Goldman.
