Adaptec's Ultra160 SCSI Technology to Be Included in Fujitsu Siemens Computers' CELSIUS Workstations

Fujitsu Siemens Computers will begin including Adaptec's Ultra160 SCSI technology in its CELSIUS workstations, offering industry-leading performance and compatibility. The 64-bit Adaptec SCSI Card 29160 is designed for the entry-level to midrange server environment, allowing for the connection of Ultra160 SCSI (LVD) or legacy hard disk drives, both internally and externally. This move underscores the importance of Ultra160 SCSI in meeting the demanding needs of high-performance users.

Key Takeaways:

  • Adaptec's Ultra160 SCSI technology will be included in Fujitsu Siemens Computers' CELSIUS workstations, providing twice the performance of Ultra2 SCSI at 160MB/sec.
  • The 64-bit Adaptec SCSI Card 29160 is tailored for the entry-level to midrange server environment and offers full backward compatibility with earlier SCSI versions.
  • Extensively tested by Adaptec on over a dozen operating system versions and more than 160 systems, the Adaptec SCSI Card 29160 assures the highest levels of compatibility and reliability.
  • CELSIUS workstations are designed to meet the most challenging demands of high-performance users, delivering high processing speed, graphics performance, and enormous storage capacity.
  • The Adaptec SCSI Card 29160 allows for connecting Ultra160 SCSI (LVD) or legacy hard disk drives, internally and externally.

Statistics:

  • 160MB/sec: the performance of Ultra160 SCSI technology.
  • 160 systems: the number of systems used for testing the Adaptec SCSI Card 29160.
  • Over a dozen: the number of operating system versions tested by Adaptec for the Adaptec SCSI Card 29160.
  • 2001: the year by which Fujitsu Siemens Computers aims to be the number one computer company in the European market.
