FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contacts: Thomas Skrobacz, Business Development, Conduant Corporation (303) 485-2721 x101, tom@conduant.com Boulder Instruments is a DBA of Conduant Corporation Conduant Expands StreamStor Solutions to Support 2.5” IDE Drives Longmont, Colorado — (September 21, 2001) — Conduant Corporation (www.conduant.com) announced today it has expanded its StreamStor solution offerings with support for the compact and highly portable 2.5” IDE disk drives. Several new StreamStor models support data streaming using IBM’s Travelstar family of disk drives. The 2.5” drives, the same drives found in many laptop computers, are ideal for low power, mobile, high vibration or harsh environment applications. StreamStor disk controllers provide digital streaming (recording and playback) of very high, sustained data rates for long durations to an array of 3.5”, and now 2.5”, IDE drives. Models are available in configurations from 20 Mbytes/sec up to 200 Mbytes/sec. “Many of our military and commercial customers require the reliability and performance offered by disk drives but were looking to push the envelope with low power, mobility or high vibration requirements. Airborne and mobile terrestrial recording stations are just a few examples of environments where the 2.5” drives offer a compelling solution,” said Tom Skrobacz, VP of Business Development. “With a simple adapter we are now able to connect 2.5” drives to StreamStor and offer these drives as an alternative to the standard 3.5” drives. Potential applications include surveillance, high-resolution imaging, and digital TV. ” The StreamStor 2.5” solutions enable recording and playback with capacities from 40GB to 768GB on a single array. Streaming time will exceed 10 hours at the lower speeds and over two hours at the highest speed. This is a significant improvement over the costly RAM based solutions that are typically limited to 4GB or less due to PC architecture constraints. StreamStor offers PCI, cPCI/PXI and Front Panel Data Port (FPDP) connectivity for maximum flexibility in system architecture. Multiple StreamStor controllers can be “chained” together for extremely long duration applications. StreamStor offers the only direct to storage digital PCI and CPCI recording and playback solutions available for the Windows and Linux operating systems. Conduant produces intelligent disk subsystems for real-time streaming applications. Its current products can record and playback hours of digital data with industry leading sustained performance on IDE drives. It is a privately held company located near Boulder, Colo.
