Posted on: Thursday, 4 September 2008, 09:00 CDT

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Sept. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc., a leading supplier of innovative computer products including hard disk drives, peripherals and biometric security solutions, today announced that its XG series of switches has received yet another industry award for product excellence. Network Products Guide, a Silicon Valley Communications publication and world-leading publication on technologies and solutions, has named the Fujitsu XG2000 10-Gigabit (Gb) Ethernet Switch a winner of the 2008 Best Products and Services Award. This respected annual award honors products and services that represent the rapidly changing needs and interests of technology end-users worldwide.

The Fujitsu XG2000 is a revolutionary 20-port, 10Gb Ethernet Layer 2 Switch, and one of the leading products on the market for supporting the needs of organizations running enterprise and video server/storage applications, high-performance computing, and Internet SCSI (iSCSI) and Networked Attached Storage (NAS) environments. By implementing a 10 GbE network with the Fujitsu XG2000, customers are able to increase their network performance and throughput via a single 10 GbE link thus avoiding the cabling challenges of bonding multiple 1 GbE ports together. This 10 GbE network enables near line rate performance to assist customers in meeting their ever-increasing bandwidth requirements that cannot be met using traditional 1 GbE networks.

"Increased end-user awareness and ongoing advances in technology are helping to shape better products and services," says Rake Narang, editor-in-chief, Network Products Guide. "Our Reader Trust Award program received nominations for products and services from around the world. We selected the Fujitsu XG2000 based on the product's ability to deliver high-performance support for demanding 10 GbE networks, in a cost-effective solution."

"Fujitsu's XG 10Gb Ethernet switches provide a return on investment as customers upgrade from 1 GbE to 10 GbE networks," said Joel Hagberg, vice president, marketing and business development, Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc. "Its high-performance platform with extremely low latencies supports customers creating 10 GbE architectures and solving storage network challenges. We are very honored that the Fujitsu XG2000 was selected as a Best Products and Service winner."
