“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.”
