We design, manufacture, market and service networking and switching
solutions for storage, data and telecommunications networks. Our solutions
provide fast and reliable connections among networks of computers and peripheral
devices and are used in large-scale, mission-critical systems in Fortune 1000
businesses and other large enterprises. Our products are designed to be
compatible with various vendors' products and multiple communication standards
and protocols. Our solutions for serving the three networks include:
- Storage Networks. We offer our IN-VSN family of directors, switches,
channel extenders and optical networking products for storage networks,
which are networks used to manage the storage of information. Our
storage solutions are critical to storage networks because they direct,
or facilitate the transport of, data between storage devices, computers
and other networks. We focus on mission-critical datacenters where
reliability and continuous availability are essential. Our products are
compatible with popular storage network communication standards,
including ESCON and Fibre Channel. The flagship of our IN-VSN product
family is our 64-port FC/9000 Fibre Channel director class switch, the
largest Fibre Channel storage network switch available.
- Data Networks. We offer our Universal Touchpoint product family of
matrix switches, control systems and management applications used in
data networks, which are networks used for data transmission and
processing. These products provide real-time test, access and
monitoring functions that are critical to maintaining a data network's
high level of service. Our solutions are tailored to very large complex
data networks as evidenced by our 24,000-port Mega-Matrix switch, the
industry's largest switch.
- Telecommunications Networks. We offer our 7-View product family of
performance monitoring products for telecommunications networks, which
are networks used primarily for voice communication. Our 7-View
surveillance system provides management applications such as call
tracing, fraud detection and billing verification and enhances
