Press Release: 21 September 1998 - High-speed
remote disc storage without cabling is now possible! Existing fibre-optic systems from Aeon Communications have achieved great success in providing remote access for sites where a remote storage facility, or 'data vault' has to be connected to host computers using the industry-standard SCSI interface. The use of optical fibre as a transmission medium lends huge bandwidth and distance capability in excess of 45km over fixed infrastructure. CableFree systems employ advanced optical technology for wireless connectivity and are widely deployed for point-to-point data connections between buildings and temporary sites as an alternative to fixed cabling. Offering large bandwidths up to 622Mbps and all-weather range performance over 1km, CableFree supports virtually all industry-standard formats such as ATM, Ethernet, Token Ring, and G.703 telephony together with both analogue and digital broadcast video. Working in technological partnership, Aeon and CableFree provide a combined solution for wireless disc storage which allows disc arrays at remote sites to be connected with extremely high reliability over a 1km transmission range. Offering the full SCSI data bandwidth of 10 or 20 Megabytes per second, sites can now be connected with no restriction on throughput, access rate or latency to provide resilient or backup storage facilities whilst avoiding the need for cabling. Ideal for banks, corporate headquarters, government estabilishments and military applications, the 'wireless data vault' is a new capability for mission-critical storage of data against natural disasters, targeted vandalism, war or terrorist attack. It is worth bearing in mind that some data vaults may be secure but will probably be connected by cable, which is not secure.
