FORE系统公司宣布准备收购千兆字节以太网交换机开发商BerkleyNetworks公司,实际上收购BerkleyNetworks成为一种结合ATM技术和千兆字节以太网的途径。 FORE一直是ATM技术革命的积极倡导者。虽然人们一直在谈论对ATM的许多期待与设想,但它的广泛应用一向只是一个LAN和WAN工业中的白日梦。 虽然FORE坚持认为ATM是一项未来的技术,他们还是收购了一个千兆字节以太网的先锋。FORE的主席和CEO托马斯.吉尔认为这不矛眉,他认为ATM技术和以太网会在企业网络中起到互补作用。
FORE Systems Inc. announced plans to acquire Berkley Networks, a developer of Gigabit Ethernet switches, in effect acquiring Berkley Networks as a way to combine ATM technology and Gigabit Ethernet. FORE has been an active advocate of the ATM technology revolution. Although many people have been talking about many of the expectations and ideas of ATM, but its widespread application has always been a daydream in the LAN and WAN industries. Although FORE insists that ATM is a future technology, they have also acquired a pioneer in Gigabit Ethernet. FORG chairman and CEO Thomas Jill does not think it is easy to argue that he thinks ATM technology and Ethernet play a complementary role in the enterprise network.
