OnSite Systems -Santa Clara, California
OnSite offers carriers and service providers a unique, simple and low cost migration path towards a pure IP/Gigabit Ethernet packet network that delivers:

* Flexible, high-bandwidth aggregation over TDM or IP/Gigabit Ethernet networks
* Universal interfaces for Quad-Play connectivity (voice, data, video, mobility)o
ver fiber, copper and Microwave radio networks
* Secure and scalable carrier-class Ethernet for PBT transport
* Multi-protocol backhaul and aggregation of 3G/4G mobile network services

Achieva Networks-Santa Clara, California
Achieva Networks has been founded with a mission to develop low-cost next generation multi-protocol NAS and IP-SAN storage solutions that solve the complex environment of mixed storage devices and all the associated issues that make it difficult for customers to access their mission-critical and large volume of data while performing high speed backup/restore and disaster recovery very quickly compared to other solutions.

 

Persist-Pleasanton, California
PERSIST Technologies, Inc. is the leader in storage appliance software that offers enterprises the ability to simplify storage, reduce costs and empower users with immediate and intelligent access to critical information assets. With PERSIST, companies can leverage powerful storage solutions that deliver reliable, anytime access to a their critical data. PERSIST combines its proprietary AppStor™ software with hardware from leading storage vendors to create an active-archive appliance that enables companies to handle the explosive content demands that are taxing their current primary architectures. Now large organizations can manage their reference information, including email, document imaging, and digital media—with application-intelligent technology that outperforms any other solution on the market.

Data and storage needs are rising at a tremendous rate due to the explosive growth of reference information. In fact, according to analysts’ estimates, some 52 billion emails will be transmitted daily within the worldwide enterprise market by the end of 2006. Additionally, new regulations that require some companies to archive and retain all business communication for a minimum of three years has generated an even greater need for reliable, scalable digital storage.

 

High Connectivity Systems -Framingham, Mass and Fredericton, NB
High Connectivity Systems (HCS) is a new company focused on delivering first to market a family of WiAD (Wireless integrated Access Devices) based on the WiMAX IEEE 802.16 standard. It is also complementary to existing Wi-Fi and extending 3G. HCS’s WiAD will be a cost effective broadband wireless solution for network service providers enabling them to realize a return on their investment within 6 months. HCS will equip SOHO (Small Office Home Office), enterprises, and rural users with broadband support for Ethernet, Wi-Fi, voice and video streaming.

HCS traces its roots to R&D in broadband networking and CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access). Most of its founding members have advanced degrees and the products they developed were widely deployed. HCS technology expertise heralds from innovators such as AT&T Bell Labs, Lucent, GTE Labs, Motorola and Nokia. HCS is currently designing software as part of its initial product development. HCS has patentable technology and in the process of filing the claims.

 

Okapi Software -San Diego, California
Okapi Software, Inc. is the storage industry’s pioneering provider of backup acceleration appliances used as key components in business continuance and data protection strategies. Using iSCSI to build applications that competing storage technologies are unable to deliver, Okapi’s technology and products are competitively priced and go beyond solutions using Fibre Channel and NAS. Okapi was acquired by Overland Storage.

Problem: IT administrators must back up more data to off-site locations in less time; restore processing must be done more efficiently and in less time
Solution: ipXpressBackup™ is up to 20x faster than tape and reduces Disk-To-Disk backup time up to 50 percent; makes restores almost instantaneous
Solution: ipXtensionCords™ keep backup tapes, tape drives and libraries remote and secure.

 

PlanarN - Portland, Oregon
The unique PlanarN network is focused on serving the needs of enterprise customers rather than on becoming a universal service carrier for legacy services like voice. Large enterprises are not satisfied with the telecommunications services because they simply do not provide the bandwidth and geographical coverage to meet their business and applications requirements.

The network is based on proven supercomputer architecture distributed across a national footprint much different than legacy telecom networks. The design produces a 10X performance improvement while requiring only 20% of the capital, operational cost and provisioning effort (time to market) of the current (and projected) network transmission solutions. The end result provides an application platform that addresses the emerging new requirements in the enterprise deploying:

  • embedded video marketing
  • enormous storage libraries
  • new peer-to-peer collaboration
  • grid computing
  • very high-speed IP delivery
  • new architecture to enable VPNs
  • faster and more efficient peering
  • DNS
  • new levels of security.
