- March 30, 1992 -- Maitland, Florida - Distributed Processing Technology
- (DPT), the first company to develop a caching disk controller for the PC,
- has just introduced a new SCSI Performance Package to be included with all
- of its "cache-convertible" SmartCache Plus SCSI controllers. Innovative
- firmware and software design improvements have produced outstanding
- performance benchmark results in both caching and non-caching
- environments. With these refinements DPT sets another milestone in SCSI
- peripheral performance.
-
- "We're very excited about the performance numbers we've seen thus far,"
- says Steven Paulhus, product marketing analyst at DPT. "We have achieved
- price/performance superiority in all major operating environments with
- both caching and non-caching controller configurations." According to
- Paulhus, SmartCache Plus EISA performs many Netware and Unix benchmark
- tests two to three times faster than the competition.
-
- The new firmware and software that make up the SCSI Performance Package are
- now shipping with all DPT SmartCache Plus controllers. SmartCache Plus is
- a cache-convertible SCSI adapter. Both 32-bit EISA and 16-bit ISA models
- are available. As a non-caching SCSI adapter, SmartCache Plus provides
- superior performance at an entry level price. With the addition of the
- caching module and as much as 16 megabytes of cache RAM, the controller
- provides the performance required for large file servers and multiuser
- systems. The SCSI disk mirroring module, a hardware based implementation
- of RAID 1 technology, can also be added to the controller to satisfy the
- business user's need for disk fault tolerance.
-
- The SCSI Performance Package is included with all SmartCache Plus ISA and
- EISA controllers at no additional cost and is shipping to both domestic
- and international markets. U.S. list prices for SmartCache Plus are $785
- for the EISA model and $595 for the ISA model. Suggested international
- list prices start at $940 for the EISA model and $710 for the ISA model.
- The controllers are shipped with a SCSI cable and device drivers for
- Novell Netware, SCO and Interactive UNIX and OS/2.
-
- DPT manufactures intelligent peripheral controllers for mini- and
- microcomputer markets. DPT is a private company founded in 1977. Corporate
- headquarters are near Orlando, Florida with a sales and marketing office
- in London, England. DPT is the first company to produce a caching disk
- controller and is the leader in high performance peripheral controller
- technology. DPT controllers are sold worldwide through a network of
- distributors and OEMs.
