ccur&inph vod and fibre? oem March 13, 2000 12:00am Interphase combines LAN, storage technologies By Sonia R. Lelii PC Week Interphase Corp. is readying new network adapters that combine LAN and storage technologies on single cards. The Dallas company this week will introduce a dual-port adapter for Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel technologies that's designed for low-profile Internet and intranet servers. In addition, the company will roll out the 552C Storage Networking Adapter, which combines Ultra2 SCSI and 10/100M-bps Ethernet ports, and the 553C Storage Networking Adapter, which combines Ultra3 SCSI and 10/100M-bps Ethernet ports. Concurrent Computer Corp., of Duluth, Ga., is hoping to strike an OEM agreement with Interphase for the dual-port adapters. Interphase will also sell the cards directly, officials said. "With a dual port, you get more function with less PCI slots," said Bill Oehme, director of custom engineering at Concurrent. "That is the advantage in [systems that have] high I/O demands but don't have a lot of PCI slots." All three adapter cards, which support the 64-bit architecture, are scheduled to ship to OEMs on April 30. The two independent ports on each adapter will use the same bus through the use of a "bride" chip that sits between the two protocol chips, according to Interphase officials. The company is still in the testing phase of the products, especially certifying the devices with various Fibre Channel switches
