Managing the units can either be done using standard (SNMP) operating system tools, or via platform-independent Web browsing using a standard browser, such as Netscape's Navigator or Microsoft's Internet Explorer. A system administrator can restrict user-group access to the server and to individual discs, if needed. The native security system of the respective NOS's are used for mount access restriction, such as authorization in NDS on a NetWare 4x server, and PCNFSD for UNIX environments. Upgrading of new software is done by downloading new software versions to the unit's Flash Memory over a network. Upgrades can be done centrally for all units on a network, which saves time and resources.The AXIS StorPoint CD is priced at $799 for Ethernet and $999 for Token Ring.

In addition, the switches support IP switching and distributed routing.Digital offers several 12-port versions of the VNswitch modules, including switches with two Fast Ethernet ports, one ATM port and one FDDI port, and a 24-port pure Ethernet switch.
For ATM connectivity, Digital unveiled the ATMswitch 900, which brings ATM's performance and quality of service features to department and workgroup environments. The ATMswitch has six 155M bit/sec ATM ports and two modular PHY interfaces.Agile will use tiffany and co money clip to demonstrate how it has made good on its promise to port Layer 3 VLAN capabilities to multivendor ATM networks (NW Feb. 26, page 1 ) .
The new ATMizer LS Layer-3 LAN Emulation Server brings Agile's automated VLANs to other vendors' switch and edge devices, including equipment from Cisco Systems, Inc., Fore Systems, Inc., 3Com Corp., Bay Networks, Inc. and Whitetree Networks, Inc. The server is a five-port device that offers five 155M bit/sec ATM ports and connects to other ATM endstations, routers, workstations, servers and edge devices that comply with the ATM tiffany and co necklace LAN Emulation (LANE) 1.0 standard.The ATMizer LS server is aimed at customers that want Layer 3 VLAN capabilities as well as LANE service benefits such as multicast control, but cannot yet get them from their current vendor.In related news, HP last week rolled out three Ethernet switching hubs and a switch module for its popular AdvanceStack hub designed to make it easier for workgroups and remote offices to migrate to switching.
