Intel Donates Nearly $720,000 Worth of Networking Equipment to UO

At the end of 2001, Intel Corporation donated networking equipment to the UO valued at nearly $720,000, including eight Intel NetStructure CEA7180 e-Commerce Directors, seven NetStructure 7370 Application Shapers, and fourteen NetStructure 7340 Traffic Shapers like the ones pictured on the cover of this issue. These devices will greatly enhance the university's ability to utilize its network resources fully and efficiently, resulting in improved service to campus users.

For more details on the capabilities of the new equipment , see "Understanding the Basics of Traffic Shaping" and "How Load Director/SSL Accelerator Boxes Work" on pp. 20-21.

Although President Frohnmayer has already personally thanked Intel for these donations, the Computing Center would like to take this additional opportunity to publicly express its thanks to Intel for its continued generosity to the University of Oregon. We are truly fortunate to have such a cutting edge (and generous!) company in Oregon.
