Self-developed high speed & high response server that is well adapted to the broadband age
Sales launch of the "Intelligent Memory Server n"
The NTT COMWARE CORPORATION (hereinafter, NTT COMWARE, Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo, President: Yuji Matsuo), has developed the "Intelligent Memory Server n" , which will bring forth the maximum processing power of your computer, and will launch sales on July 1st. Up until now, the various hardware manufacturers have competed on CPU performance as a measure of computer processing powers. However, this is a product born from the reverse idea. The company has focused attention on the point that it is possible to enhance a computer's total processing power by re-examining low speed devices such as hard disks and the internal control methods of the computer.

Installed in the "Intelligent Memory Server n" is a non-automatism newly developed memory engine, which replaces the conventional low speed hard disk, which writes data while rotating a diskette recording medium. Furthermore, not only merely replacing the hard disk with a memory engine, but by focusing attention on the data flow of the intra server and by fundamentally reviewing the structure of the hardware, quantum advancement of the usability of the CPU as well as the speeding up of the total computer performance has been realized. This product has been developed based on the following concepts: "construction of a stressless environment", "a system without the drive part of the automatism", and "the realization of excellent response ability".
By utilizing the "Intelligent Memory Server n", various advantages can be realized such as (1) faster operation just by replacing the established system using your current application, (2) economical efficiency made possible due to being able to handle load sharing of multiple servers with just one server in instances of video transmittance, programming, and liaisons of large volume data bases, (3) decrease of part replacements as abrasions such as those for hard disks do not occur and significant elongation of the life span of the hardware itself, and (4) decrease in facilities and activations to handle breakdowns as the durability is excellent and radical reduction of the system life time cost. Realization of "high speed & high response computing" in company business.strongly supports "a stress free environment due to expeditious response to the customer" and "expeditious development & execution of company strategies", which will realize a strengthening of the company's competing power.
Access concentration in limited amounts of time with the necessity to conduct massive processing instantaneously such as ticket reservations and internet auctions, as well as data mining that directly links to sales strategy upon analyzing massive customer data are adaptation fields that can be considered for the "Intelligent Memory Server n". Also, it will exert it's performance ability in Web & Mail servers, video transmittance servers, programming servers, image data processing servers, share file servers, front-end and back-end servers of OSS (Operations Support Systems), real-time control servers, and NAS (Network Attached Storage *1).
The product will be sold not only directly by NTT COMWARE, but by its agency distributors as well. Regarding after service, with the cooperation of Yokogawa Engineering Service Corporation, atc Inc., a support organization to cover the entire nation will be developed. In future, setting the "Intelligent Memory Server n" as the core hardware of service providers including network integration and system integration, the sales goal for the 2002 fiscal year is 40 billion yen and the target sales for the 2003 fiscal year is 100 billion yen.

Currently, the broadband network and technology is significantly advancing due to (1) the popularization of broadband access such as ADSL and FTTH, (2) the demand expansion of broadband media streaming system accompanying the contents increase of such as image transmissions, (3) massive data transmission that includes moving images of next-generation mobile phone communications, and (4) the popularization of next-generation internet protocol "Ipv6" connection service as well as its appliances and the increase of internet connection devices accompanying this. Also, with the diversification of services by the various business categories and operation types massive transaction processing and massive volume data accumulation by corporate systems will become inevitable. Therefore, it can be said that realization of high speed & high response computing will become absolutely imperative in strengthening the business competitive edge of corporate systems such as the Web, which is the "face of the company" and data mining. In such a situation, what the market is demanding is a high speed & high response server that can become an infrastructure system that can continue to operate without stopping 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
[Product name explanation]
The initial letter of the words, "neo", "nil", "noetic", and "non mechanical" have been taken to be used in the product name.
[Glossary]
NAS (Network Attached Storage)
An exclusive device for the file server to be used directly connected to the network. It is called such because it looks as if the memory device is directly connected to the network by the single function server (appliance server), which has integrated the hard disk and network interface, the OS, and the management utility. From other computers connected to the network it is possible to use it as a share disk such as in the case of common file servers. As the file system and network communication functions are integrated from the beginning, installations and supplementations to systems are simple and sharing of data from multiple servers of different types is also simple.
[Notice of presentation at an exhibition]
The "Intelligent Memory Server n" will be presented at the "Data Storage Expo & Conference in Tokyo", which is to be held at the Tokyo Big Sight from June 26th (Wed) to the 28th (Fri). By all means, please come to the exhibition and experience first hand the "Intelligent Memory Server n", a server which has realized a whole new architecture.
