GENROCO Breaks Own TCP/IP Record
PORTLAND, Ore., June 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Six months ago,
GENROCO, Inc. (GI) (OTC Bulletin Board: GRCI) reported achieving a record
127 megabytes per second (MB/s) of sustained TCP/IP throughput using the
Company's GSN-6466 PCI Gigabyte Systems Network (GSN) host bus adapter (HBA)
on a Sun Microsystems Ultra 60 running the Solaris operating system. Last
week at a Sun Benchmarking Center here, GI demonstrated a new, Solaris-based
Sun Microsystems Sunfire 6800 receiving 270 MB/s via TCP/IP with the GSN HBA
-- better than twice the December record. The previous best ever reported on
an open systems platform had been 67 MB/s on a Sun machine using SBus OC12
ATM. Only SGI's proprietary XIO bus GSN HBA has achieved better results than
the GENROCO hardware and software.
Don Woelz, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for GENROCO, said, "We
have now clearly shown customers and partners that our Company can deliver
real, open systems interfaces which can sustain streams of uncompressed HDTV,
4K film, and other high bandwidth imaging. GENROCO is grateful to be working
with Sun on pushing the edge of the data movement envelope. We believe we can
further improve on these results in the months to come."
GENROCO expects to announce several GSN design wins during the next
several months.
