Why I'm still bullish on INPH: Huge Growth, profitable, great numbersiphase.com ALSO: Plans to Demonstrate Key Fibre Channel Initiatives at Comdex Business Editors COMDEX Fall 99 DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 4, 1999-- --Company to Participate in Numerous Fibre Channel Technology Demos-- Interphase Corporation (Nasdaq:INPH), an international supplier of enterprise networking technologies, plans to demonstrate several new Fibre Channel initiatives at the Comdex tradeshow taking place in Las Vegas later this month. Key highlights of the company's demonstration activities include: -- 2 Gigabit Fibre Channel HBA Demonstration -- Interphase will be showing the capabilities of its 2 gigabit PowerSAN(tm) Fibre Channel HBA which will be announced during the first quarter of 2000. Targeted for high-end storage and server vendors, this 2 gigabit per second Fibre Channel adapter provides simultaneous transmit and receive operations yielding up to 400 MBps throughput for bandwidth-intensive applications. Also featuring a 64-bit/66 MHz PCI bus architecture and an efficient state machine processor design, this new product delivers the superior performance and reliability demanded by today's server storage and storage area network environments. -- FibreAlliance MIB-compatible SAN Management -- Interphase has recently added support for the FibreAlliance Management Information Base (MIB) profile to its FibreView(tm) Enterprise SAN Management software. FibreView Enterprise is a Java-enhanced management tool which gives storage and system administrators unmatched global control, monitoring, and troubleshooting capabilities over Fibre Channel server connections in storage area networks (SANs). FibreView Enterprise is the first HBA SAN management tool to implement the open, shared technology developed cooperatively within the FibreAlliance. -- Fibre Channel IP Interoperability Demonstration -- In conjunction with other leading Fibre Channel HBA vendors JNI Corporation and QLogic Corporation, Interphase will be demonstrating the multi-vendor interoperability of its Fibre Channel IP (Internet Protocol) technology. The need for IP protocol support over Fibre Channel continues to grow, and the ability for disparate Fibre Channel equipment to interoperate on a common network is a key milestone in the emergence of SAN technology. -- Technology Partner Demonstrations -- Interphase will be demonstrating its Fibre Channel HBA technology in conjunction with key technology partners including IBM Storage System Division in IBM's Technology Group Suite at the Riviera Hotel, and Seagate Technologies in the FCIA Solutions Showcase. Interphase and Seagate will be jointly displaying 2 gigabit Fibre Channel products. "The product demonstrations at this year's Comdex show make it clear that we intend to deliver on our commitment to become the market leader in creating high performance connectivity solutions for SAN environments," said Greg Kalush, Interphase president and CEO. "The company is excited about the success of our current products and the potential for the enhancements we will be rolling out during the first half of 2000." Interphase will be demonstrating its Fibre Channel products in Booth no. 1539 located in the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center, in the Fibre Channel Industry Association (FICA) Solution Showcase in Room N250 located on the second floor of the convention center, as well as in various partner locations throughout the show.
