The HP StorageWorks Ultrium 960 Tape Drive represents HP's third-generation of LTO tape drive technology. Positioned as the highest capacity drive in the StorageWorks family, the Ultrium 960 features an 800 GB compressed (2: 1) storage capacity using new LTO 3 media. By doubling the capacity of current Ultrium drives, HP customers now require fewer data cartridges to meet their storage needs, significantly reducing their IT costs and increasing their ROI.

The Ultrium 960 also features a compressed (2: 1) data transfer rate of 160 MB/s. Using a new 16-channel recording head, an Ultra320 SCSI interface, and increases in media tracks and bit density, the HP Ultrium 960 sets a new performance benchmark as the world's fastest tape drive. For customers that continually experience shrinking backup windows, the Ultrium 960 is the ideal direct-attach backup storage solution for enterprise and mid-range server, as well as entry-level hard drive arrays.

As more critical and revenue-based applications flow across company networks, data networks are becoming the corporate "competitive" edge. Lack of performance in the wiring closet, more stringent application bandwidth requirements, and the lack of qualified network experts are all challenges that have to be met before implementing the next "killer application." Fixed port desktop routing switches provide core network routing features without the large rack space requirements and large capital expenditure required by traditional core routing switches. By enabling better bandwidth utilization, application performance increases and both employee productivity and revenue can be enhanced - creating a truly competitive network.

The Nortel Networks Passport 1424T routing switch is an application-based fixed port desktop Ethernet switch that delivers enhanced network performance, simplicity, and flexibility required by today's bandwidth-sensitive applications. Simple to install and maintain, the Passport 1424T combines network core routing features with wiring closet type efficiency. Twenty-four 10/100 Ethernet ports and two GBIC slots combine to provide connectivity for workgroups, servers, and switches in a 1U high solution. Wire-speed routing and a non-blocking architecture provide the performance required by today's bandwidth-sensitive applications. For applications that are more sensitive to network jitter and delay, four priority queues - with support for 802.1p and DiffServ - provide Qualtiy of Service within the network.

The 3Com Switch 5500-EI is a premium managed 10/100 switch with advanced features, perfect for medium-sized businesses looking to deploy advanced edge applications. Layer 3 routing makes the Switch 5500 ideal for businesses looking to deploy the most advanced applications.
