SEH Launches First Gigabit Fiber Optic Print Server For HP
Phoenixville, PA -- Network specialist SEH has integrated future technologies into its new PS1126 interface card for HP printers with EIO port. Both gigabit and fiber optic technology offer faster data transfer, more available bandwidth for large volume print jobs, and eavesdropping secure functionality. PS1126 is the first print server worldwide to attach these HP output devices to gigabit fiber optic networks (1000BaseSX).
PS1126 is IPv6-ready, equipped with ThinPrint technology for bandwidth optimization and control and ThinPrint SSL encryption and comes with an unmatched security package.
Gigabit and fiber optic technologies play an increasingly important role for network design as both provide for greater bandwidth, accommodating new IT technologies that are often bandwidth-hungry. Print jobs with intensive use of graphic elements and color also quickly grow into large volume files. The new PS1126 print server enables users to connect printers directly to gigabit fiber optic cabling. In this way network printing benefits from fast and eavesdropping secure data transmission, eliminating the need for special media converters that often cause failures.
Future Technologies for Network Printing
The SEH PS1126 print server comes with even more features which offer protection of investment. While fully functional with the still prevalent network protocol IPv4, the print server is IPv6-enabled, allowing for a planned migration to this protocol, which is spreading out more so printers can be attached to IPv6 networks. The latest ThinPrint .print client is integrated for utilizing PS1126 in environments with innovative ThinPrint .print software (e.g. desktop virtualization or server-based computing) providing efficient bandwidth control and optimization for network printing.
As with 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. The new model is available as of April 1st for 526 USD (recommended retail price excluding VAT).
