Zbox turns a 110 Gybte drive into a 10 Tbyte oneHouston 05 September 2001 Zyndecom's new Z Box combines DryIce high compression technology, which can compress still images up to a 4000:1, with Syndeos' synchronization of both software and hardware systems. The Z Box is the first to deliver secure, real time and bi-directional manipulation of data, which is accessible to all software and hardware applications and configurations using fileless relay. It employs artificial intelligence to integrate and compress digital images and related data to facilitate rapid and accurate transfer, even over low-speed connections.
The Z Box utilizes existing infrastructure to deliver information in
an optimally efficient and transformed format by employing a sub-stream
manager that operates beneath existing bandwidth. A perfect illustration of
this is the way we use electric power today. In the past, we required 120/220
VAC to run virtually everything electrical in the home. Now we pass the 120
through a transformer and use only 3, 6 or 9 volts. Electrical equipment
optimizes the use of the current by increasing its efficiency after it has
been transformed. Comparably, the Z Box transforms data into more
efficient carrier packets and allows it to be transmitted and managed using
relatively little bandwidth or storage.
The Z Box soon will be able to make a 100 Gbyte hard drive capable of
storing 10 Tbyte (an increase of 10,000 times its original capacity). This
development has important implications to companies such as EMC and Enron.
Using Collaborative Area Networking, the Z Box interconnects all
operational and application platforms, hardware and software. With as little
as a desktop computer, we will be able to access as much information as an
entire facility handles today. Just as important is the speed of access.
Information finally can be received quickly enough to be evaluated as soon as
it is needed to make timely, well-informed decisions.
