(BSNS WIRE) Interphase Chosen for Sun's Solaris Ready for Netra Program; Testing and
Certification of Interphase Controllers for Carrier-Class Sun Servers
Business Editors
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 27, 2001--Interphase Corporation
(Nasdaq:INPH), an international supplier of next generation networking
technologies, today announced its inclusion in Sun Microsystems,
Inc.'s Solaris Ready for Netra program.
The Solaris Ready for Netra program, which was formally introduced
at the recent GSM World Congress in Cannes, France, certifies third
party products developed for the family of Netra systems to accelerate
solutions for Sun customers.
As part of the program, Interphase's Solaris Ready products are
being certified and tested in Sun laboratories to meet specific
performance requirements for integration with Sun(TM) platforms. Sun
is working with Interphase and other industry-leading vendors to
provide a comprehensive open platform to build new telecommunications
solutions for the core network. Interphase is also currently working
on Solaris Ready certified telecommunications products and technology
to complement Sun's new Netra ct 400 and 800 cPCI systems.
"The natural, continued migration that Sun is making toward
carrier-class CompactPCI systems works well with our strategy in the
Internet access and 3G wireless markets," said Felix Diaz, vice
president and general manager of the Telecom Products Group at
Interphase. "By combining our broad product portfolio and expertise as
a world-class provider of communications controllers with Sun's
leading hardware and software platforms, we're bringing our customers
the best solution options."
In addition to the Solaris Ready for Netra Program, Interphase is
one of the vendors chosen to provide products to complement Sun's core
Solaris and ChorusOS(TM) based platforms.
"Our support of Sun's ChorusOS will enhance our products' ability
to target next-generation wireless technologies," said Diaz.
"Initially, our 4532 ATM OC-3/STM-1 PMC controller will support the
new operating system, though continued development of ChorusOS for
other Interphase products will ensure future benefits for all our
customers."
