AEI offers 3rd Party HP-UX (PA-RISK) Ethernet NIC Solutions 

AEI of Temecula, CA is very proud to announce, as of June 10th, the Company is an HP Developer & Solution Partner.

As a result of this strategic alliance, all AEI's products are displayed in the HP DSPP Product Catalog.  This alliance will grant AEI access to future product development and enhancements by HP on their PA-RISK platform and HP-UX operating system. Subsequently, this will give the Company a competitive advantage in technical capabilities over many of its competitors. And finally, from a marketing perspective, all AEI Products can now be easily found on HP's website...

AEI is the first and only 3rd Party vendor offering single, dual and Quad PCI 10/100 Ethernet adapters with HP-UX 10.2, 11.0, and 11i device drivers, as well as single and dual channel Gigabit PCI cards with 11.0 and 11i drivers.  

All AEI Ethernet cards for the HP-UX platform will soon come with PhobosLink™ Network Management Software at no additional expense.  Says Jim Strachan, President & CFO, "Shortly, we'll be able to offer HP-UX users the capability to Trunk individual Ethernet channels (including multiple AEI Ethernet cards) based on port (AKA Link), Layer-3, or Layer-4 protocol criteria.  PhobosLink also provides for Active Port Failover (in milliseconds); and Adaptive or Dynamic Load Balancing providing users with a fault tolerant, highly reliable solution for HP-UX servers."  In fact,  Phobos is the only manufacturer offering such robust advanced server features.

As a 3rd Party alternative, AEI prices for their Network Interface Cards are very competitive in the UNIX market.  Especially when compared to HP branded Ethernet cards supporting the HP-UX operating environment.  Savings can well exceed up to $1,000 per card.
