For the past twenty years, GIGABYTE creates its elite reputation in superior design and quality. Following on the same philosophy, GIGABYTE’s NCBU (Network and Communication Business Unit) delicately works on complete enterprise solutions for the past five years. Now, NCBU proudly presents its complete product line to visitors in CeBIT as well as audiences worldwide.

Starting from general purpose server boards, through extremely close partnership with industry leaders, such as AMD, Broadcom, Intel, and nVidia, NCBU creates models for entry level uni-processor (3PXSL), entry level dual processor (7VCSV and 7VCSH), and mid-range to high end dual processor (3AESV and 7BESH), with complete master over the specification and features equipped within these processors and chipsets.

In the barebone product line, NCBU outperforms its competitor by offering most complete product line ever: R113S—targeted entry level appliance server, R127L/V/H—designed for power hungry but space critical datacenter and large corporation with SATA, SCSI, and SAS interfaces, respectively, T027L—a simple but feature rich tower barebone for customer care cost the most, and, last but not least, T527/T523—extremely powerful and easy upgradeable pedestal barebones utilizing SCSI or SAS hard disk drives.

Before going directly into other products, it is important to explain the idea while creating other solutions for enterprises.

The booming expansion of storage structure, implementation of small/ medium business solutions of consideration of server solutions, real-time telephone-quality voice transmission using the Internet protocol (IP) is no longer as challenging a task as it was a few years ago. The goals of Gigabyte Tech. appliance/ solution implementation are to achieve (a) significant savings in network maintenance and operations cost and (b) rapid rollout of new services. The objective is to utilize open, flexible, and distributed implementation of services using Fibre Channel/ IP-based signaling, routing, protocol, and interface technologies.

The viewpoints of NCBU for small/ medium business solutions form a few of the emerging strategies for Internet-based networks, built-up storage appliance, server-based projects and solutions consolidating PSTN are as follows:

• Storage area networks (SANs) are network-, server-, or micro/pico-area networks attached to massive data-storage facility. They support the creation and control of services. NCBU SAN solutions/ appliances are useful for data mining/ warehousing, e-commerce, transaction execution, and peering. It is important to consider support for the several functions that the integrated network must provide. Gigabyte Tech. is moving forward on storage development based on storage trend, hard drive interface and technology-driving needs.
• To share the loadings from PBXs and terminals and support DSL-based services and hence eliminate the need for multiple physical lines (DS0s) from a central office to a customers’ premises. One physical line from an Gigabyte Tech. ACR can support multiple virtual circuits. They can handle both data- and packet-based voice services. Use of GIGABYTE’s ACR can avoid scalability and inter-operability constraints as well in certain scenarios.

As outlined above, GIGABYTE NCBU clearly demonstrates its capability and determination in bringing the complete solutions to its enterprise customers, ranging from server board, server barebone, SAN/NAS, to even telephony applications. All in all, CeBIT is a valuable opportunity for corporate buyers and value added resellers to get a closer look on the complete offerings from GIGABYTE Network and Communication Business Unit.
