 Taipei,
October 5th 2005. ATEN International, leading
provider of connectivity solutions, today
announced that its ALTUSEN enterprise-class
KVM solutions have achieved Solaris™ Ready
Certification for the SPARC, x86 and AMD x64
architectures. The Solaris Ready logo provides
customers with a proof of certification for
tested and proven Solaris solutions from third-party
providers and ensures that KVM products interoperate
seamlessly with the Solaris OS.
"Sun is pleased that ATEN continues to
deliver world-class KVM solutions that support
the Solaris OS for SPARC, x86 and x64 platforms,"
said Juan Carlos Soto, Software CTO and vice
president, Software Lifecycle Engineering,
Sun. "The breadth and variety of ATEN's
KVM solutions provide our joint customers
with the ability to take advantage of the
industry's most robust performing operating
environment on SPARC, Intel and AMD platforms."
 According
to Kevin Chen, President of ATEN International.,
achieving the Solaris Ready certification
included stringent compliance tests for
its KVM solutions that measured system compatibility,
interoperability and functionality.
"We take great pride in the fact that
our enterprise-level KVM solutions not only
offer multi-platform support but also provide
great value," said Chen. "With
our solutions now certified on SPARC, x86
and x64 platforms, Sun customers can benefit
from improved productivity, higher system
availability and increased interoperability."
The following three KVM solutions have been
tested and are now certified within the
Solaris Ready program: Matrix KVM, CS1758,
and CS1754.
 The
Matrix is a cost-effective and powerful
Cat-5 based KVM switch that allows four
users to directly access and control up
to 32 computers simultaneously and independently.
The system provides the capability to link
32 users and 2,096 computers through a combination
of daisy chaining and cascading. The Matrix
can even be further expanded to 4,096 computers
through a dual, or split On-Screen Display,
for extremely dense server environments.
The CS1758 and CS1754 are two KVM solutions
that target SMBs and offer a growing company
a 1x4 and 1x8 offering that can be used
in a desktop format or rack-mounted into
a server room environment. The two CS models
also provide audio support as well as support
for the USB and PS/2-based computers.
 "Unlike
the competition, we have taken support for
Sun platforms to the next level by enabling
the special keys - 'Stop', 'Cop', and 'Paste'
- on the Sun keyboard to interface directly
to computers connected to our CS1754 and
CS 1758 KVM solutions. In addition to providing
support for these keys that are directly
used with a Sun keyboard, ATEN KVM solutions
are also HotKey-compatible for use with
standard keyboards," added Chen. "We
are proud to be a part of the Sun partnership
and will continue to develop products that
support Sun platforms in the future, while
ensuring they meet the criteria of the Solaris
Ready program."
The Solaris Ready certification program
serves as the gateway for interoperability
with Sun's Solaris OS, and provides customers
with a proof of certification for tested
and approved Solaris solutions from third-party
providers. Sun's Solaris OS is the foundation
for Sun's x64, x86 and SPARC systems, offering
consistent computing across entire network
server environments. The Solaris Ready Certification
process involves a thorough business analysis,
rigorous testing evaluating the product's
interoperability, platform support, Solaris
platform compliance, ease-of-installation,
driver compatibility and product documentation.

About
the KVM Switch
KVM (Keyboard, Video and Mouse) switches are
control units that allow access to multiple
computers from a single console. Before the
development of KVM switches, the only way
to control multiple computers from a single
console was through a complex and costly network.
Now, with the KVM switch, people can easily
access multiple computers or platforms (from
2 to up to 4096) in a convenient, space saving
and cost effective manner.
