FC helps to hold all those internet pages........... Start-Up Quad Research Tops Major Computer Companies to Garner Best of Show Award Small Stratas(TM) Server Delivers 100 Million Internet Page Views a Day RIVERSIDE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 28, 1998-- New Technology Eliminates Web Hosting Server Farms Quad Research executives returned Thursday from Atlanta where they accepted the prestigious Networld+Interop Best of Show award for their Stratas(TM) Web Server. It prevailed over the other nominee, Compaq Computer, because of its innovative design that delivers over 100 million Internet page views a day using a small, integrated, rack mounted system. To give you some perspective on this capability, leading Web Hosting company, Geo Cities, has only 20 million pages of content. The Networld+Interop Best of Show competition recognizes the most outstanding new products, product enhancements and product upgrades unveiled at Networld+Interop '98, held in Atlanta. Sponsored by Data Communications and LAN Times publications, the Best of Show awards' program is one of the most highly visible and successful programs in the telecommunications industry. Entries were evaluated based on innovation, how product advances the art of networking, importance of product to businesses, and how product compares to competitive offerings of other carriers. ''Web hosting companies and Internet Service Providers have responded enthusiastically to the Stratas,'' said Robert Arnon, chief executive officer of Quad Research. ''Some tell us they can pay for the system just from the savings they get from not having to rent more rack space for the hundred servers the Stratas eliminates'' The Stratas accomplishes the 100 million page views by combining the fastest systems available today, the CompactPCI backplane and Fibre Channel hard drives, added dual host adapters and proprietary ASICs to produce the fastest overall data throughput of any Web hosting server -- over two gigabits per second. The Stratas(TM) features two WINTEL fault tolerant and scaleable single board computers integrated with up to 145 gigs of Fibre Channel storage in a 17-inch tall rack mounted chassis. Quad Research will market the Stratas(TM) family of servers to select niches in the Internet, media, and entertainment industries. The Stratas(TM) will compete against servers costing $20,000 to $300,000. About the Company Quad Research has developed patent pending world class products in the telecommunications equipment, storage systems, and high-end enterprise server markets. Located in Riverside, it is the leading high tech company in ''Silicon Desert.''
