| The Cyclades-PC300 is a reliable and cost-effective PCI adapter
for synchronous serial connectivity. It combines the latest
in hardware and software technology to provide high-speed WAN
connectivity to servers with maximum efficiency.
The PC300 can replace an access router and connect a remote
office using a standard PC server with cost and management
advantages and without sacrificing performance. It can also
be used to build advanced communication systems based on industry-standard
components. Diagram of typical usage of the Cyclades-PC300
Available in three different models to better satisfy your
needs, it can be connected to leased lines or switched networks
either through external devices or direct connection to the
communication line.
The PC300 can be installed in any server or communication
system with PCI slots. With an innovative DMA-based design,
it offers the best performance and system efficiency when
compared to older solutions. Because it provides a standard
interface and integrates with the Operating System, it is
easy to add functionality (such as firewall, security, custom
protocols, etc) to a system built with the PC300 and other
industry-standard components.
The leadership position in Linux and Windows connectivity
combined with the expertise in software and hardware solutions
for WAN networking makes Cyclades the ideal partner for you
to connect offices using server-based routers or build application-specific
communication solutions.

The Cobalt Qube is a full-featured Internet Appliance.
Why do people need to install a separate router for network
connectivity? The Cyclades-PC300 is a routing board for the
Cobalt Qube and RaQ products. It enables the Cobalt appliances
to connect directly to the Internet backbone and eliminates
the need for an external router. With the PC300, the Qube
becomes a true Internet Gateway Appliance. The user gets a
better solution and Cobalt can offer more competitive and
profitable solutions.
The Qube can provide all the Internet services required by
small/medium-sized businesses. Today it is usually installed
side-by-side with an external router (such as Cisco). This
solution goes against the concept of Network Appliance and
has two fundamental problems:
The user gets a less integrated, harder to manage, more
expensive solution.
Cobalt's solutions become less competitive against the competition.
The Cyclades PC300 - today's most reliable and cost effective
PCI adapter for synchronous serial connectivity that can be
used with all Cobalt products. With the PC300 inside the Cobalt
box, there is no need for an external router and CSU/DSU for
connection to the T1 leased line. Connections to PPP, HDLC or
Frame Relay can be done with one single and integrated solution.
Provides synchronous serial connectivity solution integrated
into the Qube or RaQ and eliminates the need for external
access routers.
Supports direct connection to Frame Relay and leased line
connections with efficiency without sacrificing performance.
It can also be used to build advanced communication systems
based on industry-standard components.
Available in three different models to better satisfy your
needs, PC300 is a perfect complement to Cobalt products.
