In volume next quarter..GENROCO to Show Optical 10 Gigabit Network at SC2000
DALLAS, Nov 7, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- GENROCO, Inc. (OTC Bulletin
Board: GRCI) announced today that it will be showing its new GSN-6466 PCI
Gigabyte Systems Network (GSN) optical Network Interface Card (NIC) and the new
TSX-8864 8 Port GSN Switch with optical GSN modules at the SC2000 Supercomputing
Conference and Exhibition in Dallas this week.
GSN is the world's fastest network with full duplex data transfers of 8 gigabits
per second. The GENROCO exhibit at SC2000 (booth 856) demonstrates both copper
and optical GSN connections between the Company's GSN switch, Compaq, Sun, IBM,
and SGI UNIX computer platforms, and GENROCO GSN bridges to Gigabit Ethernet,
Fibre Channel, HIPPI, and OC48 networks. "This is one of the most comprehensive,
high performance networks ever shown at SC2000," stated Don Woelz, GENROCO V.P.
of Marketing.
The GSN-6466 is the first GSN NIC available for PCI-based computing machines.
With support for Compaq Tru64 UNIX, Sun Solaris, IBM AIX, and Linux operating
systems, the GSN-6466 provides users with flexibility and the highest
performance, standards-based network connection commercially available today.
"GSN networks, which can deliver payloads up to 800 megabytes per second, are
now accessible to commercial computing sites," commented Woelz. "High speed
networks consisting of heterogeneous platforms, and supporting TCP/IP, Scheduled
Transfer, and IP SAN are easily configured using either copper or optical GSN
ports on the GENROCO GSN-6466 PCI NIC and TSX-8864 GSN Switch."
GENROCO made initial shipments of the GSN NIC last quarter and expects to begin
shipping these cards and switches in volume by next quarter.
