San Diego, CA — (press release excerpt) — Team ASA Inc. today announced the NPWR-DS, the first Single Board Networking Computer (SBNC) implemented with dual 160MB/sec SCSI ports and dual gigabit Ethernet channels. This newest member in Team ASA's NPWR SBNC family is specifically designed for tape drive manufacturers who wish to implement embedded Linux and BSD servers.

Like previous NPWR family members, the NPWR-DS offers high performance, compact footprint, and low power consumption. NPWR-DS consumes only 15W at 733 MHz. The NPWR-DS is shipped standard with a Linux OS FLASH ROM Drive. A BSD port for all NPWR SBNCs will be available soon. The NPWR-DS is powered by a Intel XScale processor, a RISC CPU with clock rates reaching as high as 733 Mhz. The NPWR-DS standard configuration includes Dual 160 Megabyte per second SCSI ports, 8 Mbytes of FLASH ROM, 128 Mbytes of SDRAM and Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports.

Every NPWR includes Team ASA's Linux port on CDROM. The NPWR CDROM also includes all tools, documentation and sources needed to make any NPWR based product an immediate success. NPWR is factory configured with a Flash ROM disk running Linux to ensure expedited product development.

“OEMs can use the NPWR-DS to build Tape Servers, Tape Controllers, Firewalls, Routers even RAID Controllers” said Mark Murray, president of Team ASA. “Our customers can take the NPWR out of the box and implement a new product in a single day.”
