HIPPI

"Our expertise in both HIPPI and Fibre Channel technology, plus our relationships with the major computer and storage vendors, make us a unique solution provider for the network attached storage community," remarked Chris Good, GENROCO executive vice-president and chief technical officer.

HIPPI is a dual simplex, point-to-point interfacing technology which operates bi-directionally at an aggregate of 1600 megabits (200 megabytes) per second.

The Distributed Computing team will also evaluate next-generation desktop LAN technologies, such as Gigabit Ethernet, to determine whether they should replace current ATM and HiPPI LAN backbones.

The air duct is made by Cambridge with Ashland's HIPPI resin system, a high-impact structural-grade polyester.

A new high-performance parallel interface, HIPPI, operates at 800 megabits/sec.

By then the HiPPI standard supported by NSC, Ultranet, and others should have wide acceptance in the market."

Hippi Country was a 700 square kilometer island with a population of five million people.

The authors wish to thank all the partners of the Carlink project, especially Pertti Nurmi, Marjo Hippi, Sami Suopajarvi and Timo Ryyppo from FMI, Pekka Eloranta and Tommi Joutsiniemi from Mobisoft, Kimmo Ylisiurunen and Juha Laakso from Infotripla and Esa Suutari from Sunit.

The systems are inter-connected through network interfaces such as Ethernet, HiPPI, or ATM.
