Perfisans Technology Positioned to Spark Next Generation of Network Products From OEM Manufacturing Community

Posted on: Friday, 6 August 2004, 06:00 CDT

Proprietary Architecture Expected to Boost Gigabit Ethernet Network Speeds Over 200% Without Increasing Product Costs

Perfisans Holdings Inc. (OTC BB: PFNH), a next generation technology company focused on the burgeoning Gigabit Ethernet market, announced the completion of its flagship product, ACC-1001 Accelerator chip. Network product manufacturers worldwide are getting their first looks at the new technology, a revolutionary system-on-chip product that offers a new cost and performance paradigm in Ethernet speeds for small and mid-size business networks.

Despite its revolutionary speed improvements, the ACC-1001 architecture provides the flexibility and compatibility the OEM networking industry requires. Because the Perfisans architecture is compatible with industry standard data transfer protocols, they will allow fast adoption of the new technology at the core of the ACC-1001, enabling development of a new generation of servers, motherboards, Network Interface Cards and storage area networks.

Most importantly, the Perfisans system-on-chip designs will allow OEM manufacturers to bring true Gigabit Ethernet speeds - and enterprise quality network applications -- at costs affordable to customers in the small office/home office and entry-level enterprise markets.

"Our proprietary acceleration technology leapfrogs existing performance standards," said Steve Gormley, Vice President of Perfisans. "It will enable makers of computers, servers and other network products to develop their products cheaper, faster and better than ever before."

The Perfisans ACC-1001 technology will enable Gigabit Ethernet networks to run 200 to 300% faster than standard available Gigabit networks.

The Perfisans ACC-1001 is a system-on-chip product based on Perfisans' proprietary TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE) architecture. The additional functionality of the Perfisans accelerator technology brings a new level of processing intelligence to Network Interface Cards; these smart NICs will take up to 80% of TCP network processing overhead off network host computers. "This frees the rest of the system to concentrate on pumping the payload data," said Gormley. "It's a powerful solution that provides meaningful cost-savings and other benefits to users of enterprise networks."

Business end-users with Perfisans-powered networks will benefit directly from the higher data throughput with increased workplace and CPU efficiency, and decreased computing overhead of enterprise applications. Home users will enjoy superior performance in Internet surfing, as well as vastly improved speed and ease-of-use in popular bandwidth-hungry applications such as music and video downloads.

The ACC-1001 technology is fully scalable, and backward compatible with legacy 10/100 Megabit Ethernet systems, enabling even smaller enterprises to realize the benefits of Gigabit network speeds without requiring costly, system-wide upgrades.

Perfisans officials say their TOE architecture will enable the creation of entire suites of third-party products at a broad range of price points. The company, whose officers are veterans of the semiconductor and ASIC industries internationally, is positioned to maximize global market share with its proprietary chip designs.

The ACC-1001 is targeted specifically at the Windows 2000 and Windows XP small business customer base, the most important component of networked-based home office and entry-level enterprise businesses. Market analysts project that these small and midsize organizations will spend more than $100 billion on information technology products in the United States in 2004, a rate that's expected to increase in 2005 and beyond.
