(2) (Small-Scale Integration) Less than 100 transistors on a chip. See MSI, LSI, VLSI and ULSI. 1. (electronics) SSI - small scale integration. 2. ) announces the new NetSPARC Internet Server line of product which combines the popular Sidus 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 FT (Full Tower/Fault Tolerant) with an Internet Server for Solaris. The NetSPARC which is powered by original SunSPARC Engines 5/85, 5/110, 20/60 or 20/75 enables business communities to publish information on the World Wide Webb through an easy to use httpd web server software. The NetSPARC can also be an Internet Gateway (1) See cable/DSL gateway. (2) A router or server that converts IP packets to IPX, AppleTalk or some other non-IP format and vice versa. It is used to connect non-IP networks to the Internet. for companies who wish to stay competitive by allowing employees gain the vast amount of information on the Net. The security feature of the software allows the administrator to set only authorized types of TCP/IP TCP/IP in full Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Standard Internet communications protocols that allow digital computers to communicate over long distances. services and hence maintains an overall control of the Internet usage. The NetSPARC also features tools such as: -0- -HTML-based administrative interface to allow the user to use their own Mosaic, Netscape, HotJava, etc, and to invoke remote login, TCP/IP using a web browser. -One-button configuration of Internet Information - once configured, a novice user can turn on the NetSPARC. Crash recovery is simplified by the "save" and "restore" configuration diskette. -Mail server which support multiple electronic mail clients (POP version 2 and 3 and IMAP). -Support of three modes (primary, secondary, and cache only) Domain Name System (DNS). -Dynamic Host configuration Protocol (DHCP) which allows LAN client to dynamically configure IP address. -Facility to automatically setup anonymous File Transfer Protocol (FTP). -Enhanced administrative security for the server by allowing administrator to enable/disable TCP/IP services. Sidus NetSPARC offers the benefit of the tower configuration which has room for 2 internal 5-1/4" half-height drive bays and 8 internal 5-1/4" exposed-half-height bays. Disc drive can be mounted in the hot-swamp tray to facilitate hot-spare. Optional industry standard RAID controller can be integrated to form a RAID 0, 1 or 5 configuration for a fault tolerance feature. Additional peripherals such as 8mm or 4mm tape backup can easily be integrated in the tower to form a self contained solution. Options supported for NetSPARC includes SBUS Originally a proprietary bus from Sun, the Sbus has been released into the public domain. The IEEE standardized a 64-bit version in 1993. (hardware) SBus - The hardware interface for add-in boards in later Sun-3 (and Sun-4?) workstations. graphic cards and other SBUS devices such as the SPRITE An independent graphic object controlled by its own bit plane (area of memory). Commonly used in video games, sprites move freely across the screen, passing by, through and colliding with each other. T1 from Newbridge Microsystems which simplifies a T-1 connection. Sidus Systems Inc., a publicly traded company publicly traded company A company whose shares of common stock are held by the public and are available for purchase by investors.
