Reduced Prices for Intelligent Stackable Products
HIGHLIGHTS
o Digital is announcing new packaged solutions and pricing for its industry
leading "intelligent rack and stack" products
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Client/server computing has accelerated the demand for "rack and stack"
networking products. These "LAN infrastructure" products offer simple,
low/moderate density (that is, less than 100) connections for desktops and
servers at relatively low per port prices. Increasingly, however, users are
recognizing a need to add functionality such as internetworking and
management to supplement these basic connectivity solutions. This trend has
led to the emergence of "intelligent rack and stack" products, which combine
remote connectivity, local connectivity, and management.
Digital has become an acknowledged leader in these products with its DEChub
90/900 family of intelligent networking products. Now Digital is introducing
limited-time packaged solutions for the U.S. and permanent, worldwide low
pricing for key products, reinforcing its commitment to deliver
cost-effective, universal network access through modular, scalable,
easy-to-use platforms. Digital's integrated approach to networking ensures
comprehensive connectivity and multivendor interoperability for small LANs
as well as for global enterprise networks.
The new, limited-time packaged solutions include some of Digital's most
popular DEChub Ethernet products:
o A network "starter package" (one DEChub 90 and three DECrepeater 90Ts) at
more than 40 percent off individual list prices.
o A five-pack of DECrepeater 90Ts at $100 off per repeater list price.
The permanent pricing actions are as follows:
o Reducing the DECrepeater 90T single unit list price by more than 20
percent.
o Reducing the DECbrouter 90 two-port list price by more than 18 percent.
Specific applications for these products include:
o DEChub 90 and 900 modules in stackable DEChub ONE configurations for
low/moderate density, unmanaged connectivity.
o Single DEChub 900 modules or multislot DEChub 90 configurations for
moderate density connectivity where network management is important.
o Multislot DEChub 90 configurations for a mix of local connectivity,
internetworking, and management functionality.
o A mix of DEChub ONE, DEChub 90, and DEChub 900 MultiSwitch configurations
for integration of both "rack and stack" and enterprise solutions.
