Hot-pluggable transceiver for Fibre Channel
Agilent Technologies has announced volume availability of its 2Gbit/s small-form-pluggable (SFP) fibre-optic transceiver for Fibre Channel storage area networks (SANs).
Today's information technology infrastructures are complex environments to control and manage.
OEMs are expected to provide customers with solutions to address this challenge.
The new RMP chip's digital KVM and remote management features provide end users (IT administrators) with tools needed to increase IT productivity, such as using the web to restore service and fix computer-related issues from anywhere on the network without the need for additional hardware.

IR transceiver slims down to fit latest PDAs
Agilent Technologies has announced a new serial infra-red (SIR) transceiver that is ideal for new-generation personal information devices, such as PDAs, which are becoming increasingly thinner.
The feature-rich N2533A is Agilent's fourth-generation, standards-based RMP.
It performs IPMI 2.0 baseboard management and includes KVM over LAN and remote storage to control several management tasks.
The N2533A minimises server downtime while remotely managing power cycling, OS installation and BIOS upgrades.
Agilent's highly integrated RMP solution reduces external component count, board space and system costs.
"There are companies that provide remote-management or KVM-only solutions, but Agilent is the first to combine these two important features in one chip", said Thomas Goetzl, Worldwide Marketing Manager for Remote Systems Management and KVM Solutions in Agilent's Semiconductor Products Group.
"As the market leader, our customers look to us to raise the bar and push remote management technology to the next level".
"We already offer the industry's most complete portfolio of chips, cards and turnkey software solutions for BMC, KVM over LAN and remote storage".
The Agilent N2533A RMP is being used by leading server OEMs such as HP and Stratus.
The N2533A remote management processor is a fully integrated system-on-chip with a small and flexible hardware design that fits all server architectures.
Features include: an ARM 926 embedded CPU, providing compatibility with Agilent's third-generation RMP processor; integrated video processing unit for KVM over LAN, supporting maximum video resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 at 70Hz; integrated encryption hardware, ensuring highest level of security; integrated high-speed USB 2.0 device, simulating virtual keyboard, mouse and storage; integrated LAN interface and sideband interface, providing support for latest server LAN chips; and integration of all interfaces needed for an IPMI-compliant baseboard management controller (BMC), including LPC, up to 9 I2C buses, and up to 54 GPIOs.
The N2533A is supplied in an RoHS-compliant 384-pin PBGA.
Samples and production quantities, as well as development boards, are available now through Agilent's direct sales channel. Request a free brochure from Avago Technologies ...
