BW: Digi Adapters for Linux-based Internet POP Solutions in Japan

"Sumisho Datacom (Sumisho) and Internet Pro Corporation (IPC) have chosen RAS (Remote Access Server) products from Digi International(R) Inc. (Nasdaq: DGII), the world's leading provider of communications adapters, to help build Linux-based Internet point-of-presence (POP) servers for Japan's fast-growing community of Internet Service Providers (ISPs)."

"Linux-based systems incorporating Digi(TM) DataFire RAS(TM) adapters make ideal POP servers for ISPs, offering benefits such as high performance, reliability, and scalability at a cost-per-port significantly lower than router-based solutions. The first project, comprising 78 servers, has been deployed and is successfully operating in a high-traffic 24 x 7 x 365 application...."

"Sumisho and IPC are marketing Pentium-based PC Servers equipped with Digi DataFire RAS 24/48 remote access adapters and running Red Hat Linux. The two companies are initially targeting small- and medium-sized ISPs, with plans to expand into the large ISP and corporate IT markets. Product offerings are scalable from 24 to 384 ports in a single server."
