has been able to reinvent itself and grow from the LAN
to the home and the metro networks.
| This
webinar will: |
| • |
provide
an overview of the basic mechanics of Ethernet networking
|
| • |
discuss
its evolution leading to Ethernet's ubiquitous adoption
in the home, the enterprise and the metro networks
|
Join
in a live Q&A after.
WHO
SHOULD ATTEND

Demonstrating Ethernet-over-SONET/SDH Interoperability For Metro
Ethernet Networks |
 |
PMC-Sierra
announced the completion of extensive interoperability testing
of its
PM5329 ARROW 24xFE and
PM5333 ARROW 8xFE Ethernet-over-SONET/SDH (EoS) mappers
in multi-vendor environments and with Agilent Technologies'
OmniBER OTN J7232A 2.5 Gbit/s analyzer. PMC-Sierra's proven
interoperability testing for metro Ethernet transport services
including Add/Drop Multiplexers (ADM) and Multi-Service Provisioning
Platforms (MSPP) provide design engineers with increased reliability
and reduced development costs.

| Introducing
System Clock Generator Optimized for MIPS-Based Printer and
Consumer Applications |
 |
PMC-Sierra
introduced the CM5470
system clock generator, the latest addition to its family
of Advanced Clock Management (CLK™) products. The highly
integrated CM5470 device, designed for direct compatibility
with
PMC-Sierra's 200 to 900 MHz RM7000™
and RM5200™
MIPS-based™ microprocessor product families, is optimized
for MIPS-based printer and consumer applications (see Figures
1 and 2). The CM5470 device provides a single-chip clocking
solution to drive all of the components commonly implemented
alongside MIPS® processors, including CPU clocks, USB,
LAN, PCI, and RAM clocks. PMC-Sierra's industry-leading system
clock generator will enable OEMs to accelerate their design
process and time-to-market.

Demonstrating System Level Interoperability at Serial Attached
SCSI (SAS) Plugfest
|
 |
At
the SAS Plugfest, PMC-Sierra demonstrated system interoperability
with multiple SAS controller vendors and SAS and SATA Hard Disk
Drive (HDD) vendors including Fujitsu, Hitachi, Maxtor and Seagate.
This milestone assures OEMs of an interoperable solution for
next-generation SAS servers and server attached storage systems.

FCIA
Endorses New Class of Hybrid Fibre Channel Disk Drives
|
| |
The
Fibre
Channel Industry Association (FCIA) announced that it is
endorsing a new class of hybrid disk drives conceived by HP,
Hitachi Global Storage Technologies and Seagate Technology.
These hybrid drives combine a Fibre Channel interface with a
low-cost-per-gigabyte, high-capacity disk drive mechanism to
enable a new class of storage devices costing significantly
less per gigabyte than mission-critical Fibre Channel drives.

"Tackling
Delay in Today's Global Voice Networks"
Gordon
Oliver, Senior System Validation Design Engineer, PMC-Sierra,
talks about "Tackling Delay in Today's Global Voice Networks"
in the July issue of Internet
Telephony.
There are three very important components of voice quality
in today's global telecommunications network: clarity, echo,
and delay. These attributes must be understood and managed
in order to maintain voice quality in the Public Switched
Telephone Network (PSTN). While many consumers take voice
quality for granted even in telephone conversations halfway
around the globe, the network has evolved considerably over
time to ensure this level of service.
