R&M unveils new cabling solutions for high-speed data networks

Presents its newly developed Cat. 6A module to the industry, catalyzing opening up of new dimensions in copper cabling

BANGALORE / MUMBAI / NEW DELHI, India – November 21, 2009 – The Swiss cabling specialist Reichle & De-Massari (R&M) today unveiled the new cabling solutions for high-speed data networks in Bangalore today. Mr Martin Reichle, CEO, R&M and Mr Laurent Amestoy, President – APAC, R&M unveiled the latest R&M Cat 6A Module in a product launch event held in Bangalore, India. The Swiss cabling specialist showcased how broadband infrastructures can be efficiently set up today for computing centers and city networks, as well as office and residential buildings.

R&M had selected Bangalore in India as the venue for presenting its newly developed Cat. 6A module to the industry. Cat. 6A, with the A written as a subscript in accordance with the future ISO/IEC standard, is a key for opening up new dimensions in copper cabling. Cat. 6A module are used in the kind of high-performance data networks found in computing centers and in commercial and administrative buildings.

With the advent of 10Gigabit Ethernet over copper twisted pair cabling, new classes of cabling standards were introduced. EIA/TIA released the Cat. 6A standard in February 2008 and ISO/IEC the Class EA channel standard in the same timeframe. Unfortunately, these two standards do not define the same performance, leading to confusion in the market. This confusion is compounded when looking at the components, especially the connecting hardware. EIA/TIA and ISO/IEC specify different performance for the modules, but the component naming is very similar. Therefore special care must be taken or else users will not obtain the performance they expect.

“R&M is focused on achieving higher earnings and revenue growth rate, and delivering increased value to our shareholders,” said Martin Reichle, CEO at R&M. “At R&M, innovation is the key word. We will continue to build on our core competitive advantage of market-driven scientific innovation and our strong position in targeted global growth markets, carefully prioritized investments and industry-leading productivity.”

ISO/IEC Class EA offers the highest performance available using RJ45 technology. In practice, this higher performance translates to higher operational reliability which minimizes errors. In addition, the life of the cabling infrastructure is maximized. Today, a Class EA channel is the highest performance channel available based on the prevalent RJ45 technology. It not only ensures support for the 10 Gigabit Ethernet application, but it also extends the life of the cabling and ensures higher operational reliability. For these reasons, R&M recommends installing a Class EA channel in new installations.

If interoperability is a requirement, then it is important to choose Cat. 6A connecting hardware. Cat. 6A modules simply cannot guarantee the higher Class EA performance. Although the Cat. 6A component standards are taking longer, it will be worth the wait for the added performance the cabling system will achieve, which will translate to less headaches for the user.

“R&M has been able to make impressive inroads in India market, replicating its growth in the APAC region. We have moved in to the top five vendors within last two years,” added Laurent Amestoy, President – APAC at R&M. “By delivering on the commitments we made at the start of 2009, R&M is meeting the economic recovery as a stronger, faster and more agile global competitor. We are well-positioned to outperform the rate at which markets recover and improve.”

Array Networks launches ABC Pre-Paid Licenses, Slashes Business Continuity Costs

Cost-Effective DesktopDirect solution enables normally deskbound employees to work remotely during business disruptions such as H1N1 and Bandhs

BANGALORE / MUMBAI, India – November 9, 2009 – Array Networks Inc., a global leader in secure application delivery, is making affordable business continuity planning a reality with today’s launch of the Array Business Continuity (ABC) Pre-Paid License. The ABC licenses are included in Array’s desktop remote access solution DesktopDirect, which allows office users to continue to work remotely as if they were at their desktop. With these pre-paid licenses, small-to-medium businesses and enterprises can now be fully prepared for potential business disruptions – at a fraction of the cost compared to traditional business continuity licenses.

“In designing a business continuity plan, companies face tough decisions in choosing the level of preparedness compared with costs, especially on a smaller budget,” said Sunil Cherian, Vice President of Product Marketing for Array Networks. “Facing this trade-off, some companies opt not to include remote access due to costs – leaving them vulnerable to productivity and revenue loss in the event of a swine flu outbreak, strikes and bandhs or similar disruption. With this built-in pre-paid license approach, we’re offering a middle ground where all businesses can be fully prepared without breaking the bank.”

The pre-paid ABC license enables desktop remote access for ten non-consecutive days of emergency use. When used within a pre-defined normal usage threshold, the license allows concurrent users to access DesktopDirect without depleting multiple days of pre-paid licenses. This enables companies to maximize each daily license, which minimizes costs by avoiding new license purchases sooner than necessary. These ten non-consecutive days may stretch over years.

Desktop remote access is provided for employees through DesktopDirect’s premise-based architecture, which keeps office data secure through authentication, strong network security and flexible administrative control. The solution’s unique WAKE-on-LAN technology allows users to turn office computers on and off remotely – resulting in significant energy savings and improved security by only requiring office computers to be turned on as needed.

DesktopDirect is available on any Array SPX Universal Access Controller, a highly flexible appliance that supports a variety of access products.
