RoamAD has announced the general availability of its converged wireless network solutions for the Taiwanese market following the grant of NCC Type Approval earlier this month.

RoamAD networks are now available in Taiwan through its partners aCure Technology and Taiwanese distributor T-COM Tech Co Ltd.

Earlier this year, T-COM completed the deployment of a multi-spectrum, infrastructure-mesh RoamAD network at a large power plant in Taiwan. The RoamAD network is used to backhaul voice traffic. Taiwan represents a significant market opportunity for RoamAD.

Visionman Computers has announced the release of the latest addition to its Acserva brand. The Acserva ViXone7 family of servers are the first servers worldwide to support Intel’s newly-launched “Nehalem” architecture.

In early November of this year Intel introduced its first CPU releases based upon the Intel Core i7 platform to rave reception from high performance desktop users and gaming enthusiasts. The Intel core i7 processor was actually designed with high performance server applications in mind and Intel plans to officially launch their server-focused, Xeon branded offering based on the Core i7 platform in Q1-2009.

Visionman has successfully engineered a new line of Core i7-based servers ahead of the official Intel Xeon release, launching this new technology as first-to-market, directly into the server space.

The Acserva ViXone7 family of servers is the first to re-introduce hyper-threading, a technology which allows each core to process two threads simultaneously. As a result, Windows and Linux operating systems will actually read eight cores from the four physical CPU cores. The Visionman Core i7 servers are also the first in the industry to offer triple-channel memory support. Memory modules are installed in banks of three, greatly increasing throughput and efficiency on the faster QuickPath Interconnect, delivering a staggering 4.8 giga-transfers per second to the CPU.

This new series of Visionman Acserva Core i7 servers is designed with the small to medium business in mind. Each model delivers improved database performance, and allows businesses to consolidate their IT infrastructure. All form factors are offered, from Visionman 1U rackmounted to tower server based.

All server models are also available with optional remote management capabilities, along with a SAS based storage system allowing 24×7 use. For customized solutions, Visionman can build any of their Acserva Core i7 based servers to the customer’s own specifications.

ACROSSER Technology announces the release of the AR-R5700 Series of Networking Security Appliances based upon the Intel Q35 Chipset. It is a system capable of utilizing the Core 2 Quad, Core 2 Duo and Celeron Intel embedded processors. It is the latest member of ACROSSER’s Networking 1U 19″ Rack Mount System family. These Networking systems are designed for applications where reliability and performance are critical for the applications.

For large enterprise and other applications requiring a large demand for data transfer, High performance Networking appliances are the best choice in this situation. The AR-R5700 series has many desirable design features. The most powerful feature is the Intel Q35 and ICH9R Chipset which can support Intel CPU’s up to the Core2Quad level. This is a new generation supporting CPU FSB at 1333MHz. The wide range CPU support can give you the flexibility to choose the best one for your application. Memory capacity of up to 8GB using 4 DDR2 DIMM sockets also provides for very high level performance.

The AR-R5700 Series uses a modular design to achieve additional Networking ports using the AR-B2003 and AR-B2004. The AR-B2003 adds four Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 LAN ports. For long distance data transfer, Fiber Gigabit Ports can provide the capabilities you need. The AR-B2004 expansion module can fulfill the requirement; it can support not only 2 more SPF Gigabit Ethernet but also 2 more RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet. These 2 modules are connected through a PCIE x 8 channel from Intel Q35 on the AR-B5700.

By pass functionality is also a critical feature for 24 hour operation networking devices. It can also be implemented in this series of models. There is one pair of by pass LAN on the basic AR-B5700 model. However, there is one more pair on the AR-B2003 and AR-B2004 expansion modules.

There are 3 models in AR-R5700 series:

1. AR-R5700: Intel Q35 +ICH9R with 6 x RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet;
2. AR-R5700L8F2: Intel Q35 +ICH9R with 8 x RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet and 2 SPF Gigabit Ethernet;
3. AR-R5700L10: Intel Q35 +ICH9R with 10 x RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet.

AR-R5700 series features:

• Intel Q35+ICH9R chipset supports CPU from Core2Quad/Core2Duo/Celeron, front side bus up to 1333MHz.
• 4 x Memory slots in total, supports maximum up to 8GB using 64bit OS.
• 6 x RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet standard, maximum up to 10 RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet.
• Flexible Extension Gigabit Ethernet module (2 x RJ-45 + 2 x SPF Gigabit Ethernet) or 4 x RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet.
• Console re-direction by serial port (RJ-45 connector with a DB9 cable).
• By pass function controlled by H/W and Software.
• 16 x 2 characters LCD module.

Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia declared that the development team of Wikia Search has been stoped ther work on Wikia Searh project.

Wikia Search was started in January 2008 but didn’t get popularity. This service combines algorithms to select search results from any spam-garbage. It is manually edited search engine. Jimmy Wales thinks that economic situation is the main reason to stop that project. Also he added that all resourced would be transfered to another project like Wikianswers.
