SYSTIMAX Solutions, the worldwide leader in structured connectivity solutions and services for businesses, today announced that Sun Microsystems is installing the world`s first SYSTIMAX 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper/UTP cabling solution into a major operational hub in the UK.
The SYSTIMAX GigaSPEED X10D Solution provides a full end-to-end 10 Gigabit solution over copper that is compatible with the current IEEE task force standards.
"We`ve worked very closely with IDC, a SYSTIMAX Prestige Business Partner, for over four years and the GigaSPEED X10D Solution is the obvious choice for protecting our future bandwidth needs," said Sun Microsystems spokesman David Cole. "We now have the confidence to adopt emerging and bandwidth-hungry technology without stalling other applications. SYSTIMAX Solutions and IDC have yet again provided us with invaluable advice and support."
John McCarthy, Managing Director, Northern Europe, SYSTIMAX Solutions, commented: "We`re delighted that Sun Microsystems chose to prepare for future bandwidth needs by upgrading their network with the GigaSPEED X10D Solution. We expect this solution to provide Sun Microsystems with exceptional value and flexibility that has not been seen before on a commercial copper infrastructure. Business enterprises face ongoing needs for higher bandwidth solutions as network complexity and traffic increases. We believe the GigaSPEED X10D Solution offers the most cost-effective way to support these demands."
SYSTIMAX Solutions believes it is the first vendor to provide a complete UTP solution that complies with the latest IEEE 802.3an task force guidelines for 10GBASE-T. SYSTIMAX Solutions has developed the GigaSPEED X10D Solution to provide a next generation total solution that supports the bandwidth needs of today`s enterprise networks as well as the needs of more demanding applications such as high resolution video, grid computing and storage area network/network-attached storage.
Systimax is distributed locally through Falcon Electronics (Pty) Ltd, which is currently celebrating its 21st year of trading.
