Siemens Nixdorf unveils line of PCI Ethernet connectivity solutions for new PCI power servers and desktops.AUGSBURG, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 23, 1995--Siemens Nixdorf Information Systems (SNI (1) (Subscriber Network Interface) The point of interface between the customer's equipment (CPE) and a communications service from a common carrier. (2) (SNA Network I ) and ZNYX Corp. Monday announced an 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 Agreement to deliver to Siemens Nixdorf's customers worldwide, ZNYX's award winning PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). (Peripheral Component Interconnect See PCI. (hardware) Peripheral Component Interconnect - (PCI) A standard for connecting peripherals to a personal computer, designed by Intel and released around Autumn 1993. PCI is supported by most major manufacturers including Apple Computer. ) Ethernet adapters to compliment its new PCI Intel Pentium based systems. Siemens Nixdorf See Fujitsu Siemens. , a major provider of high end systems, thrusts its new PCI product line into a new generation by providing customers with a complete PCI solution, which now includes the highest quality PCI Ethernet connectivity options available. Designed for speed and efficiency, the PCI EtherAction(TM) ZX312 offers a 32-bit data path with 33 MHz (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. clock rate and provides complete Ethernet connectivity to the PCI bus PCI bus - Peripheral Component Interconnect , offering a 20 times faster data transfer rate than the standard ISA bus. The PCI Bus Master architecture with burst mode DMA (1) (Digital Media Adapter) See digital media hub. (2) (Document Management Alliance) A specification that provides a common interface for accessing and searching document databases. (Direct Memory Access) is ideal for high performance servers and workstations. The PCI EtherAction ZX312 provides the user with full duplex Ethernet which simultaneously transmits and receives packets, thereby doubling the bandwidth of the network backbone. "Today the industry is converging around PCI with more than 300 leading semiconductor and computer vendors supporting this newly emerging local bus standard," explained Connie Austin, ZNYX's president and chief executive officer. "We are looking forward to working with Siemens Nixdorf, one of the world's leaders in open client/server solutions from personal computing to integrated worldwide information systems." "We are pleased to work with ZNYX, a communications company that specializes in PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) technology, and are looking forward to the next product generation which will include a 10/100 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter, as well as ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode See ATM. (communications) Asynchronous Transfer Mode - (ATM, or "fast packet") A method for the dynamic allocation of bandwidth using a fixed-size packet (called a cell). See also ATM Forum, Wideband ATM. ATM acronyms. Indiana acronyms. ) connectivity solutions. "Our customers want high speed technology, and manufacturers like ZNYX are the key to bringing these products to the market," said Rainer Zettl, product marketing manager, Siemens Nixdorf, Augsburg. Siemens Nixdorf has an organizational structure that can respond to the even more sophisticated requirements of the market, and has promoted itself from a role as a mere supplier for individual segments to that of a systems partner with full line expertise across the Information Technology spectrum. As part of this full line strategy the Siemens Nixdorf PC Group will introduce and lead Siemens Nixdorf into the next generation of advanced information connectivity products. ZNYX Corp., founded in 1992, is a communications company that specializes in PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) technology. The company was first to market with its award-winning EtherAction 312, a 32-bit PCI Ethernet adapter, and its award-winning EtherArray(TM) ZX314, a 32-bit PCI Multi-Channel adapter. The company may be contacted at (USA) 510/249-0800, or 510/656-2460 FAX. CONTACT: Siemens Nixdorf, Augsburg Herr Zettl, + 821 804 2662 or ZNYX Corp., Fremont, Calif. Connie Austin, 510/249-0800 |
