eCom eCom.com Z Box PROVIDES REAL TIME COMPUTING

David J. Panaia, Chairman of eCom eCom.com Inc, asserted that the Z Box will be a driving force to change the way that the world uses computers. Produced by the company's joint venture company, Zyndecom, the Z Box will elevate computing to a new level by allowing all types of hardware, software and platforms to collaborate based on inter-organizational business rules.

"The information age is facing a serious dilemma because current systems lack the compatibility needed to store and share information between different types of computing operations," said Panaia. "In essence, we need a new model of information processing. The Z Box is a breakthrough that will enable information systems to become decision-making tools through real time computing."

The Z Box combines DryIce high compression technology, which can compress still images up to an extraordinary 4000:1, with Syndeos' unique synchronization of both software and hardware systems. The Z Box is the first to deliver secure, real time and bi-directional manipulation of data, which is accessible to all software and hardware applications and configurations using fileless relay. It employs artificial intelligence to integrate and compress digital images and related data to facilitate rapid and accurate transfer, even over low-speed connections.

The Z Box utilizes existing infrastructure to deliver information in an optimally efficient and transformed format by employing a sub-stream manager that operates beneath existing bandwidth. A perfect illustration of this is the way we use electric power today. In the past, we required 120/220 VAC to run virtually everything electrical in the home. Now we pass the 120 through a transformer and use only 3, 6 or 9 volts. Electrical equipment optimizes the use of the current by increasing its efficiency after it has been transformed. Comparably, the Z Box transforms data into more efficient carrier packets and allows it to be transmitted and managed using relatively little bandwidth or storage.

The Z Box soon will be able to make a 100 GB hard drive capable of storing 10 TB (an increase of 10,000 times its original capacity). This development has important implications to companies such as EMC and Enron. Using Collaborative Area Networking, the Z Box interconnects all operational and application platforms, hardware and software. With as little as a desktop computer, we will be able to access as much information as an entire facility handles today. Just as important is the speed of access. Information finally can be received quickly enough to be evaluated as soon as it is needed to make timely, well-informed decisions.
