Dean, FYI; the news keeps coming on CHAT: ubj: ChatCom to Deliver Voice/Data/Video Infrastructure Premise Equipment Date: 97-11-10 12:10:50 EST From: AOL News BCC: Tiric CHATSWORTH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 10, 1997-- ChatCom Offers Redundant Platform for Integrated Voice/Video/Data ChatCom, Inc., (NASDAQ:CHAT) the industry's leading manufacturer of highly managed rack mounted server platforms announced today their intent to enter into the Computer Telephony market by providing innovative product combinations which centralize hardware required to support video/voice/data storage and movement. Gary Dunham, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for ChatCom said, "For some time now ChatCom has been positioning our products as a platform on which end users can build their data networks. We recognize the forthcoming convergence of data (traditional networking practices) with voice and video services as a huge opportunity for ChatCom. Wireline equipment spending totals 5 to 10 times the spending on traditional networking gear. Voice and video carried over data network infrastructure offers compelling economic advantages for those companies with the foresight to implement such solutions. To leverage those advantages for our end customers, ChatCom has been working feverishly over the past few months to build active partnerships, such as the StarVox alliance announced earlier this year." "Infrastructure Premise Equipment (IPE), a subset of ChatCom's RAINS(TM) hardware, affords customers the capability to rapidly deploy a fault-tolerant rack mounted solution that offers fully integrated data networking, computer telephony services such as Voice over IP, call center applications, and if desired, even live streaming video." Dunham continued, "The ability to put an entire branch office infrastructure (video/voice/data) into a single robust rack, ship it anywhere in the world, un-crate it, plug in four wires to the back and simply turn it on - removes significant costly logistical problems that our customers deal with day to day in providing the support services their customers or users demand. ChatCom's IPE's tight integration and pre-configuration will allow IT and telecommunications managers to build complex business networks without having to field large outside engineering teams." "ChatCom's rack mounted Intel(TM) based processor engines will initially form the basis of this offering, but are expected to be augmented early next year with more powerful NT and Unix based processor engines." Dunham indicated, "ChatCom believes that our concept of divorcing the processor from the storage (a key feature of the RAINS(TM) architecture) will in the near future allow our customers to choose the processor engine type that represents the appropriate 'data-pump' for the job to be performed. ChatCom is the first manufacturer to carry the values of RAID, redundancy, true hot-swap, scalability, and reasonable costing - upward to the processor level. This gives both our customers - and our own research and development engineers tremendous flexibility and will prove to be a key accelerator for ChatCom's imminent growth."
