Serial Attached SCSI and Serial ATA are storage interface technologies that enable data to move between PCs or servers and peripherals, such as hard disk drives. The two technologies are intended to replace current parallel versions of SCSI and ATA. Serial technology overcomes the performance barriers forecast for current parallel technologies. The serial technologies will meet the need for faster data throughput in servers and storage devices over the next decade as new Internet-based applications demand greater bandwidth and performance. The companies will work with the Serial ATA II Working Group and the SCSI Trade Association, the industry associations responsible for developing and promoting the two interface technology specifications, to create open standard interfaces that give rise to next-generation server storage systems that utilize the benefits these two technologies deliver. "Serialization is the future for storage interface technologies both inside and outside of the server," said Bruce Bell, vice president of Dell PowerEdge server development. "With parallel SCSI and ATA becoming increasingly complex, a serial architecture provides customers better performance, with greater signal integrity for better reliability, based on industry standard technology." The companies expect that SATA technology will evolve as a price-performance choice in market segments where cost is a key selection criterion in desktops, servers and storage solutions. Serial Attached SCSI will become a complementary alternative with a robust feature-set for mainstream server storage solutions. ...Dell Computer profile, ...HP profile, ...Intel profile See also:- Serial ATA, Serial Attached SCSI Las Vegas, NV - June 10, 2002 - NSI® Software today announced the availability of expanded OEM integration capabilities that allow Double-Take®'s data replication engine to be optimized for NAS appliances built on the Microsoft Windows Server Appliance Kit (SAK).

The new Smart Identity Card System (SMARTICS) which will be implemented by the Hong Kong SAR starting in July 2003, will ultimately replace laminated plastic photo ID cards now carried by all citizens 11 years of age or older. The system uses a multi-application smart card that incorporates the MULTOS operating system of Australian Keycorp Limited and secure microcontrollers manufactured by Infineon. The SMARTICS card will be used for personal identification and authentication, as a drivers license, and as a library card. Printed information and a photo will be visible on the card surface. The microcontroller chip incorporated into the card securely stores an individual name, date of birth, and ID number. Additionally, it will store data on the digital characteristics of the card holder's thumbprint. This will allow officials to verify identity using biometric data. This data only includes the relative position of the fingerprint characteristics and not the fingerprint as a whole. This technique eliminates the possibility of reconstructing the original fingerprint from this data. Under the first phase of this project, the Government of Hong Kong SAR has ordered 1.2 million SMARTICS cards. The estimated total number of cards to meet this requirement is about 6.8 million. ...Infineon Technologies profile |
