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 HP StorageWorks Ultrium 1760 Tape Drive is HP's fourth-generation of LTO tape drive technology capable of storing up to 1.6TB per cartridge in under 3 hours. HP Ultrium half-height drives are designed for server customers in direct attached storage (DAS) environments where hard disk and system bottlenecks can impede data transfer rates. To further protect the most sensitive data, AES 256-bit hardware data encryption provides easy-to-enable security to prevent unauthorized access of tape cartridges. By using LTO-4 hardware data encryption, not only is data fully capable of being compressed therefore maximizing capacity, encrypted backups are completed without a loss in performance. Capable of data transfer rates up to 160MB/sec, HP's exclusive Data Rate Matching feature further optimizes performance by matching speed of host to keep drives streaming and enabling the fastest performance of any tape drive in the industry. The Ultrium 1760 provides investment protection with full read and write support with LTO-3 media, and the ability to read LTO-2 cartridge. By doubling the capacity of previous generation Ultrium drives, HP customers now require fewer data cartridges to meet their storage needs, significantly reducing their IT costs and increasing their ROI.
