Interface Masters Technologies Introduces Low-Profile, Dual Port Specialized Gigabit Server Adapter Based on Intel 82576 Ethernet Controller

SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - August 17, 2009) - Interface Masters Technologies,
an industry leader and innovator in networking solutions, has announced an
additional member of its Gigabit Ethernet Server Adapter Card family that
is designed to integrate with PCI-e based Networking Servers, Inline
Networking Devices, Security and Monitoring Appliances. The Niagara
32265 is a low-cost, low-profile Dual Port Copper NIC, which includes
bypass, based on Intel's latest Gigabit Ethernet controller, the 82576.

The new Niagara
32265 server adapter provides flexible and robust networking and bypass
interface options to the mission-critical IT market. Intel's 82576 Gigabit
Ethernet Controller enhances the Niagara 32265 by providing PCI Express 2.0
(2.5GT/s) support, 10/100/1000 Based-T auto-negotiation capabilities, low
power 2.8W operation, 16 Tx and 16 Rx Queues per port, enhanced
virtualization, layer 2 & 3 security including IPSec & LinkSec, and
Intel® I/OAT Acceleration v3.0.

The dual port copper server adapter with bypass is designed for
high-availability server applications that demand premium performance and
maximum uptime in a compact and low-profile form factor. The bypass
feature, upon power failure or power loss, allows network traffic to
continue by re-routing traffic from the transmitting port directly to the
receiving port. This creates a closed loop that bypasses the down
appliance, ensuring that network uptime is maintained.

"Interface Masters is announcing its first member of the dual port Gigabit
specialized NIC family supporting the Intel 82576 controller. Niagara
32265 supports 2 1GE networking ports with bypass capabilities for
mission-critical networking applications that demand high network
availability, high-performance features, and efficient throughput in a
compact form-factor," stated Ben Askarinam, founder and CEO of Interface
Masters Technologies. "Interface Masters will be expanding the family in
the near future by providing additional specialized features."

Niagara
32265 provides features that are essential in today's data centers:

-- Intel 82576 Gigabit Ethernet Controller
-- PCI-E x4 (Gen 2.0 signaling) compatible, 64-bit/133MHz
