ArticlesHot Plug Today

November 1997 / Inbox / Hot Plug Today

While you did a solid job of describing how Hot Plug PCI technology works, and the role it can play in reducing server downtime, you left out information regarding the current availability of compliant products ("Hot Plug Will Deliver Higher Availability," July Bits). NetFrame Systems has been shipping Hot Plug PCI systems, boards, and device drivers since 1996, when the company introduced its ClusterSystem 9016 server. Last June we introduced the ClusterSystem 9008, which offers eight individually hot-pluggable PCI card slots.

NetFrame has tested its systems with the proposed Hot Plug PCI standard you wrote about and recently announced that both the 9016 and the 9008 are fully compliant with the most recent draft of the specification. NetFrame is committed to ensuring that its servers will be compliant with the finalized specification, due later this year.
