SEH COMPUTERTECHNIK: SEH Launches First Gigabit Fibre Optic PrintServer for HP PS1126 for HP Output Devices Offers Protection of Investment With Integrated Future TechnologiesBielefeld, Germany, Mar 04, 2009 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- The German network specialist SEH has integrated future technologies into its new PS1126 interface card for HP printers with EIO port. PS1126 is the first print server worldwide to attach these HP output devices to gigabit fibre optic networks (1000BaseSX). Both gigabit and fibre optic technology are future technologies offering faster data transfer and more available bandwidth for large volume print jobs. In addition, fibre optic networks are eavesdropping-secure. PS1126 is IPv6-ready, equipped with ThinPrint technology for bandwidth optimisation and control and ThinPrint SSL encryption, and comes with an unmatched security package. The new model is available as of now for 495 Euro (excluding VAT). New IT technologies are often bandwidth-hungry. Print jobs with intensive use of graphic elements and colour also quickly grow into large volume files. Gigabit and fibre optic technologies play an increasingly important role for network design as both provide for greater bandwidth. The new PS1126 print server enables users to connect printers directly to gigabit fibre optic cabling. In this way network printing benefits from fast and eavesdropping secure data transmission, eliminating the need for special media converters, which also often cause failures. Future Technologies for Network Printing The SEH PS1126 print server comes with even more features which offer protection of investment. While being fully functional with the currently still prevalent network protocol IPv4, the print server is IPv6-enabled, allowing for a planned migration to this protocol which is spreading out more and more so printers, too, can be attached to IPv6 networks. The latest ThinPrint .print client is integrated for utilising PS1126 in environments with innovative ThinPrint .print software, e.g. desktop virtualisation or server-based computing, providing efficient bandwidth control and optimisation for network printing. As all SEH print servers, PS1126 comes with a powerful security package as well as regular soft- and firmware updates, free tech support, and a warranty of up to five years.
