Microsystems, the industry leader for redundant and bypass
Ethernet technology, has now added Span Port Replication to its
portfolio. This product expansion exemplifies the company’s
uncomprising commitment to providing well-proven and innovative
products, services and support to round off its comprehensive
range of redundant, bypass and now port-handling technology needs.
Using Shore’s recently enhanced port mirror
capabilities, the issue of too few span ports can now be handled
easily, reliably, and with reasonable expense. The Span Port
Replication features are provided in multiple hardware choices
based on media and the amount of replication required. When placed
in span mode, data is received on the router port and copies it
exactly to the Appliance 1, Appliance 2, and switch ports. This
multiplies the Span port count by a factor of 3. By adding other
daisy-chained port cards to the system, additional multiplication
is achieved.
“This feature simpifies span port capacity
planning for network administrators for our customers with minimal
rack space impact. Features such as this are possible due to the
flexibility of our Network Protection Chassis system.“ said Jiri
Hlavaty VP of Engineering.
Shore Microsystems delivers quality redundant products for
advanced networks with satisfied clients in commercial,
industrial, and military applications and is considered the
industry leader in Redundant Ethernet LAN technology. The Link
Protector products insure data flow during network failures by
creating redundant connections for mission critical Ethernet
links. Shore also provides Bypass Switch technology to prevent
downtime due to inline appliance failure.

Long Branch, NJ – July 31, 2009 - Shore Microsystems today announced the
addition of a new port card for
its Network
Protection Chassis (NPC) product line. The new card, dubbed the SM-2701CS,
duplicates and extends the functions offered by Shore's SM-2512 and SM-2508
Ethernet Link Protectors. This card allows customers to move their Link
Protection
applications
into the modular chassis offered by the NPC series systems while retaining the
cost-effective functionality offered by the previous generation SM-2512 and
SM-2508 Link Protectors. The SM-2701CS provides traditional Link Protection
using high-reliability relay
technology
with the density and serviceability advantages of a chassis/blade design. This
card fills a need for less sophisticated requirements at a lower cost than the
more extensive features offered by other SM-27XX port cards.
“The
SM-2512 and SM-2508 Link Protectors have been very popular products for over 10
years in both commercial and military applications. Our customers continue to
ask for the level of functionality offered by these products. With the SM-2701CS
card, we can now provide this functionality in our current NPC chassis/blade
product line.” said Gary Steidl, Director of Sales/Marketing at Shore
Microsystems. “Another advantage of this new card is that users can mix lower
cost/lower sophistication SM-2701CS port cards with other more advanced SM-2700
cards based on the high-availibility requirements of individual applications.”
Shore Microsystems delivers quality redundant products for advanced networks
with satisfied clients in commercial, industrial, and military applications.
Shore Microsystems leads the industry in Redundant Ethernet LAN technology.
Shore’s Link Protector product line insures data flow during network failures by
creating redundant connections for mission critical Ethernet links. Shore also
provides Bypass Switch technology to prevent downtime due to inline appliance
failure.

Long Branch,
NJ - July 30, 2009 - Shore
Microsystems today announced the availability of dual fixed
redundant power supplies for its 1RU Network Protection Chassis(NPC)
product line of Ethernet Link Protectors and Bypass
devices. The dual internal power supplies are an optional feature
for the NPC-2 2-slot chassis to insure exceptionally high
availability of mission-critical Ethernet links. The dual power
inlet design uses high MTBF internal 110/220V 50/60HZ autosensing
AC power supplies each of which can power the unit individually. Power supplies are
monitored for proper operation and alarms are raised for failure
conditions. The NPC-2 is also available in a single high MTBF
power supply configuration for lower cost applications.
“The use of
dual AC power inlets and redundant power supplies in the NPC-2
chassis was requested by our customers to add even more assurance
of continuous uptime for their mission critical Ethernet links and
applications” said Gary Steidl, Director of Sales/Marketing at
Shore Microsystems. “Our engineers implemented this capability
with dual filtered AC power inlets – not afterthought cheap
wall-wart solutions - in keeping with Shore's high availability
approach to Ethernet Link Protection. This capability further
extends Shore's layered approach to Ethernet redundancy including
power redundancy backed up with our Straight Through Wire™ technology for our
smaller port-count NPC-2 chassis system.

Long Branch, NJ - May 20, 2009 - Shore Microsystems
released today a new firmware version for the Network Protection
Chassis and corresponding SM-2700 Link Protector and SM-2800
Bypass Switch Cards. This firmware nicknamed “Portection” allows
protection from failure of mission critical Ethernet devices while
individually, on a port-by-port basis, select failover times,
delay times, alarm modes, packet watching, and packet launching
capabilities. This full feature firmware is available as the
Enterprise package for all Network Protection Chassis versions and
is available immediately. Shore’s Network Protection Chassis
allows networks to mix and match their protection needs into one
chassis and to manage those functions through one interface. The
NPC also offers a selection of failover and restore speeds,
managers often wish to implement fast failover and restore delays.
The NPC also passes traffic in Zero Power scenarios. The chassis
is available in 2u twelve port or 1u
two port versions.
SM-2700 Intelligent Gigabit Ethernet Link Protectors allow network
managers to create redundant connections for their "mission
critical" Gigabit (and subrate) connections by allowing
simultaneous connections to both a primary and backup network port
from servers, routers, and other key
network
equipment. SM-2700 cards operate by monitoring the
primary link and, in the event of failure, automatically switching
to the backup link. Switchover speeds are adjustable. The SM-2700
Link Protector is Shore Microsystems next-generation link
protection platform offering the combined advantages of electronic
switching technology and proven Straight Through WireTM
relay/optical switch technologies. SM-2800 Bypass Switches allow
network security
managers to
implement IPS and other inline devices while maintaining
connectivity and integrity within a network. An appliance failure,
which traditionally causes a network failure, can now be detected
by the Switch and have the appliance in essence be “bypassed” so
the normal operation of the network can be maintained. SM-2800
cards operate by monitoring the links and/or traffic, to the
inline appliance and in the event of failure, automatically
switching to form a straight through network connection. The
SM-2800 Bypass Switch is Shore Microsystems third generation link
protection platform with proven Straight Through WireTM
relay/optical switch technologies.

Long Branch, NJ - April 20, 2009 - Shore Microsystems today
announced the release of the SM-2501P (Power Over Ethernet) Link
Protector. The
SM-2501P Gigabit Ethernet Link Protector provides a programmable
automatic link backup capability to "mission-critical"
10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet links. The SM-2501P protects vital
connections to servers, routers, and other key Ethernet devices
that require fail-safe link operation. The SM-2501P operates by
non-intrusively monitoring a "primary" link and, in the event of a
failure, automatically switching to the backup link.
The SM-2501P does not require any additional network cards in a
server and does not require router-level switch-over if a failure
occurs. The backup link can be connected to either another port on
a switch or an entirely different switch altogether for greater
protection. The SM-2501P is powered from the Ethernet connection on
the Primary or Backup link and is compatible with IEEE 802.3af
standard, eliminating the need for a local power supply. The
SM-2501P can also pass power to the protected device, thus
providing a simple solution for adding redundancy to IP phones,
Wireless Access Points, and other PoE powered devices.
