TowerJ is the only multi-platform deployment solution that allows server-side Java ap demand from enterprise developers who are usinnly product that supports this requirement acro investments that Data General is making for outform," said Rick Strom Rick Strom may refer to:
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). Marketingill be available with Data General's high-end AVIX and Windows NT Servers AV 25000 NUMA (Non-Uniform Memory Access) A multiprocessing architecture in which memory is separated into close and distant banks. NUMA is similar to SMP, in which multiple CPUs share a single memory. However, in SMP, all CPUs access a common memory at the same speed. Server Data General's AV 25000 server, using the DG/UX operating system, can support up to sixty-four 500-MHz Pentium(R) III Xeon(TM) processors with up to 2MB of cache per processor, 64 GB of memory, and over 100 Terabytes of CLARiiON(R) Fibre Channel storage. The AV 25000 continues Data General's high-availability tradition with dedicated diagnostics processors, AV/Alert(SM) "phone home" remote support, redundant, hot-swappable power and cooling, as well as clustering capabilities including Disaster Recovery Clusters. AV 8700 High-end Server The AV 8700 is the industry's first Windows NT server designed specifically for clustering, with an advanced server chassis that can support two four-way systems in a high- availability NT Cluster-in-a-Box(R) configuration which includes CLARiiON full Fibre Channel storage. Each AV 8700 system has two or four 500-MHz Pentium(R) III Xeon processors with up to 2 MB cache, 8 GB of ECC-protected memory, 10 PCI slots, and 13 internal 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. bays. AV 3700; AV 3700R; AV 3704R Midrange Servers The AV 3700 supports up to four 500-MHz Intel Pentium III Xeon processors with a choice of 512-KB, 1-MB, or 2-MB L2 cache, and up to 4 GB of memory. Both tower and rackmounted versions support seven 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 slots, plus three onboard SCSI channels. The AV 3700R (the rackmounted version of the AV 3700) can be configured in NT Cluster-in-a-Box(R) or TermServer-in-a-Box(TM) packages. TermServer-in-a-Box includes up to four AV 3700 servers running Microsoft Windows NT Server, Terminal Server Edition and user applications. The AV 3704R is available with one-to-four 500-MHz Intel Pentium II Xeon (processor) Pentium II Xeon - The successor to Intel Corporation's Pentium II processor. The Xeon has the same P6 core as existing Pentium Pro/Pentium II units, but it supports a 100 MHz system bus and offers as much as 2 MB of level 2 cache. http://intel. processors and may be configured in a 34-, 60-, or a 73-inch rackmount cabinet in which up to nine systems may be installed. The AV 3704R also can be utilized in Data General's pre-configured, pretested rackmounted high availability "in-a-Box" packages, including NT Cluster-in-a-Box(R) running Microsoft Cluster Server Clustering software from Microsoft for Windows NT/2000. It provides rudimentary load balancing and two-node failover, which allows a second server to take over if the first one fails. Cluster Server was formerly code named Wolfpack. and TermServer-in-a-Box(TM) running Windows Terminal Server An option in Windows NT and 2000 that enables an application to be run simultaneously by multiple users at different Windows PCs. In NT, it is known as the Terminal Server Edition. . Pricing and Availability TowerJ is expected to be made available on Data General's AViiON servers running DG/UX in the third quarter, and is available today for Windows NT. Commercial TowerJ licenses start at $5,000. For more information please call Data General at 1-800-DATAGEN or visit their Web site at www.dg.com. About TowerJ TowerJ is the performance leading server-side Java deployment solution. It allows the creation of highly optimized self-contained binary native "Enterprise Ready" executable from platform-independent Java bytecode. This alternative "Write Once, Compile Anywhere Write once, compile anywhere (WOCA) refers to writing software that compiles and is thus usable on all platforms. As opposed to Sun's Write once, run anywhere slogan, cross-platform compatibility is implemented at the source code level, rather than at the compiled binary " approach provides unsurpassed execution performance for demanding server-side Java applications while preserving the platform-independent benefits of Java. Due to the decoupling Decoupling The occurrence of returns on asset classes diverging from their normal pattern of correlation. Notes: Take for example stock and corporate bond returns, which normally rise and fall together. of development and deployment made possible by Java bytecode, TowerJ s and services focused on the robust high performance execution of advanced object- oriented enterprise applications. Tower's products allow companies to maximize hardware investments, improve time-to-market, reduce application deploymencross a broad range of server-class computers. al (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :DGN DGN Design (file) DGN Dirección General de Normas (Standards Organization in Mexico) DGN MicroStation Design File (file format/extension) ), based in Westboro, Massachusetts, is a major supplier of storage and enterprise computing solutions for customers worldwide.
