Switched on KVM

THE ST-2U-LDI KVM switch brings the economies of KVM switching to the users of Silicon Graphics' 1600SW flat-panel monitor. The ST2U-LDI is the latest addition to Network Technologies' ST-nU line of universal KVM switches which eliminate the cost of unnecessary peripherals, save space, and improve systems management in multiple computer environments The SGI 1600SW utilizes the second-generation open LDI digital interface to provide the highest resolution (1600x1024) and the finest dot-pitch of any flat-panel display. With NTI's new switch, users can double the benefits of this state-of-the-art monitor. Now one user can control both a PC and a MAC computer from the same SGI 1600SW flat-panel monitor, keyboard, and mouse, utilizing the 1600SW's extra-wide screen, 24-bit color, fast pixel response, and wide-angle viewing in both platforms. --Network Technologies, Inc.

Communications open house

REAL ESTATE COMMUNICATIONS system--Windows-based Attendant Console--supplies information about callers to handle the call quickly. The attendant knows who the caller is, if he has called before, and who the appropriate agent is. Direct inward-dial numbers allow the attendant to identify why the caller is calling, the listing agent involved, and the source of the inquiry (ad, Web listing, etc). Comdial's Real Estate Solutions system provides enhanced call routing that provides one-number, follow-me service for every agent. Integrated paging sends detailed information about missed calls to the agent's pager or digital cell phone. The system's reporting automatically associates customer calls with ad placements to show where ads are most effective. Reports also monitor agent telephone activity so that identified telephone costs can be billed back to agents. --Comdial Corp.

Stay ahead of network saturation

ForeCAST RESOURCE MANAGER for Internet access provides predictive capacity planning solutions for ISPs and e-businesses (dot-coms, etc.). What this means is that network managers can now plan the addition of future network capacity needs with precise reports provided by ForeCAST. ForeCAST predicts months in advance when and where network devices, from a server CPU in New York to a T1 line in Los Angeles, will reach a preset saturation level, alerting network managers to upgrade and avoid potential crashes. Because reports are so precise and can give months of notice, network managers can easily justify these expenditures to the CFO. ForeCAST provides safe planning instead of last-minute guesswork. --Clairvoyant Software, Inc.
