JiX Solutions BVBA is currently developing an innovative, new product which is planned to be marketed later this year (September - October 2002). For the moment we have a limited amount of pre-production machines, which we intend to sell at special low prices to interested parties who are prepared to regularly provide us with their feedback on the usage of the machine.
At a glance, the machine is a tiny, silent, economical, yet powerful network server which handles all the typical network tasks required on a small to medium sized LAN. We will be offering two models:
1. Typhon
S-type (Small)
The Typhon S-type is a small server solution. We
dare say small, because with it's dimensions of 29.5 cm width, 27 cm long
and a mere 6.5 cm thick it is very small indeed. As such it's highly transportable,
fitting in almost every bag. The machine does not contain any fans, which
renders it unusually silent. It uses an external 12V power supply adapter,
so also with regard to you electric bill, it is an ideal solution: you can
let it run night and day without having to worry about cost. The device however,
is pretty powerful, boasting a 533Mhz Via C3 processor, 128MB of internal
memory, 2 LAN connections and a 20Gb harddisk, it can do best for what it
is designed for : to serve. For some pre-production pictures and some detailed
specifications please click here.
2. Typhon
XS-type (Extra Small)
The Typhon XS-type is our second small server solution. The size of this server
is even more compact than our Typhon S-type. It measures 23 cm width, 26.5
cm long and 4.5 cm high. This one also uses an external 12V power supply adapter
but doesn't provide you with a CDROM/DVD bay. Don't underestimate the power
of this device since it will be equiped with a 1,2 GhZ Intel Pentium III or
Celeron, 256 MB of internal memory, 2 LAN connections and a 20 or 30 GB harddisk.
