Adaptec(r) ATM155(tm) for SBus Standards-based 155 Mb/s ATM network interface cards for high-performance SBus systems --------------------------------------------------------------------------- PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS * Full-duplex 155 Mb/s connection to ATM networks for Sun workstations * Classical IP over ATM and LAN Emulation for transparent integration with existing LANs * Up to 1,024 virtual circuits supported with either SVCs and PVCs * Manageable through SNMP using the ATM Forum ILMI * Ideal for either workstations or workgroup server applications --------------------------------------------------------------------------- OVERVIEW With the Adaptec ATM155 family of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network interface cards (NICs), users can now take full advantage of powerful, business-critical applications. The Adaptec ATM155 NICs increase network performance by helping to eliminate bottlenecks, increase data transfer rates, and enable users to preserve investments in legacy systems through standards compliance and interoperability with the products of all major ATM router, switch and adapter vendors. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- KEY BENEFITS Accelerated performance The Adaptec ATM155 NICs are single-slot SBus adapters with high-performance, high-efficiency, standards-based custom silicon architectures that implement the ATM Adaptation Layer (AAL) 5 protocol. AAL5 cells are reassembled on-board into frames, and non-AAL5 cells are passed through into host memory. The Adaptec ATM155 NICs deliver 155 Mb/s of full-duplex data stream capacity with up to 1,024 virtual channel identifiers (VCIs). Interoperability made easy The Adaptec ATM155 NICs support both permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) and switched virtual circuits (SVCs) with signaling software that conforms to ATM Forum UNI 3.0 and 3.1 standards. By supplying ATM Forum standards-based interoperability with switches and routers of major network vendors, and taking full advantage of Classical IP over ATM (RFC-1577) and ATM Forum-based LAN emulation, the Adaptec ATM155 family gives users freedom of choice in ATM solutions and enables them to integrate new products with Sun workstations. This high level of interoperability optimizes LAN technology investment, eliminates dependence on a single vendor, and enables users to migrate at their own pace. A growth path for the future Adaptec is committed to supplying the most technologically advanced solutions available. The Adaptec ATM155 family includes complete ATM software for Solaris 2.3 and 2.4. As new products and technologies emerge, Adaptec updates software drivers to meet user needs. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Adaptec family of ATM adapters The Adaptec ATM25(tm) and Adaptec ATM155 family of network interface cards currently supports PCI, SBus and Micro Channel bus hardware platforms, plus Solaris 2.3 and 2.4 and Windows NT(tm) software environments. Support will also be added for the NetWare, DOS, Windows(r) and OS/2 operating systems. Please check with Adaptec suppliers, Adaptec's Interactive Fax or the World-Wide Web server for the latest information on environments supported. Adaptec IOware(r) Adaptec IOware solutions eliminate performance bottlenecks between microcomputers, peripherals, and networks.
