RAS and RRAS Solution - 14 Sep 2004

For the first time in the 3-year history of the Windows IT Pro Readers' Choice awards, readers selected a hardware product as the Best RAS and RRAS Solution. A healthy share of readers--43 percent--named Equinox Systems' SST Multi-modem PCI Universal Adapters the top product in the RAS and RRAS group. The SST Multi-modem PCI Universal Adapters let servers handle dial-up connections and support both a 3.3V PCI Extended (PCI-X) or 5V PCI bus. The easy-to-install adapters are available in 4- or 8-port models and provide V.90 and V.34 modems. Useful applications for the Equinox adapters include thin-client connections, modem pooling, fax-in/fax-out connections (the adapters support fax speeds of 14.4Kbps), and RAS servers, among others. All SST Multi-modem PCI Universal Adapters include the EquiView Plus and SSDIAG diagnostics and management tools and have a 5-year warranty. The adapters work with a variety of platforms, including Windows 2000, Windows Terminal Server, Windows NT, Citrix MetaFrame and Citrix WinFrame, and several open-systems OSs.
