LeWiz's PCI-Express 4-port GigE NIC Certified for the Solaris 10 Operating System; LeWiz Communications' Talon3008(TM) Board Achieves Solaris Ready Certification for Both SPARC and x64 (x86, 64 bit) Server Platforms.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. -- LeWiz Communications' unique, patented low-profile PCI-Express 4-port GigE card achieved Solaris Ready certification for multiple Sun platforms through Sun's Solaris Ready Program. The card has been successfully tested for the Solaris(TM) 10 Operating System operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. (OS) on Sun's T2000 SPARC (Scalable Performance ARChitecture) A family of RISC CPUs from Sun that runs mostly under Sun's Solaris, but also under Linux and BSD operating systems. After development began in the mid-1980s by David Patterson of the University of California at Berkeley and Bill (R) machines and x64/Opteron(TM)-based platforms such as X2100 server and Ultra workstations. For the T2000 SPARC servers, 3 Talon3008 cards can be plugged into the 3 available PCI-E See PCI Express. slots adding up to 12 GigE ports to the system for multi-zone networking and more network throughput. The card's low-profile form factor fits neatly into this server's small 2U platform with the card plug in straight up. LeWiz's Talon3008 card is designed for customers who are opting for better performance, reliability, and interoperability. The board uses chips that are proven. It has a very wide range of supporting software available. In bit rate performance, it can reach full wire-rate of Gigabit per second on each port while running the 4-ports simultaneously. It has the capability to throttle the network interrupt in the system, thus reducing interrupt overhead to the system CPUs better for application performance. LeWiz card's wide range of operating system support allows customers to use Sun's x64 platforms with other operating systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. in addition to the Solaris 10 OS. In such environments, multiple ports on the card can be teamed or aggregated together achieving even much higher throughput. "We are pleased to award the Solaris Ready Logo to LeWiz's products," said Dan Powers, director of Market Development Engineering at Sun Microsystems, Inc. "This qualification assures our joint customers that these products can benefit from the Solaris 10 OS' industry leading features." Achieving Solaris Ready status allows LeWiz's Talon3008 card to display the Solaris Ready logo, enabling customers to readily identify the solution having proven interoperability with the Solaris 10 OS on SPARC and x64 (AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, www.amd.com) A major manufacturer of semiconductor devices including x86-compatible CPUs, embedded processors, flash memories, programmable logic devices and networking chips. Opteron processor-based) server platforms. The Solaris Ready logo informs customers that the product has met the rigorous testing requirements of the Solaris Ready Program for system compatibility, interoperability, ease-of-installation, functionality, and network interoperability as defined and controlled by Sun. Participants in the Solaris Ready Program such as LeWiz have also committed to provide long-term support for their Solaris Ready-certified products leading to greater customer confidence. LeWiz will be showing its PCI-Express Talon and PCI-X (PCI eXtended) An enhanced PCI bus technology originally developed by IBM, HP and Compaq that is backward compatible with existing PCI cards. PCI and 32-bit PCI-X slots are physically the same, and PCI cards can plug into PCI-X slots.
