Power-All Networks is a crusader for a new type of network and systems architecture - the creation of TOSCANA. TOSCANA stands for Total Self-optimizing/balancing, Clustered, Auto-fail over/failsafe Network Architecture for both LAN (Local Area Network) and WAN (Wide Area Network), wired or wireless.

The creativity and technology behind is the company's knowledge and know-how in dynamic networks in co-operative, clustering based networking. Engineering wise, the company implements with its TOSCANA Operating System with in house know-how on Open Source (Unix), Open Standard hardware and network platforms.

In terms of cost, performance, availability and ROI (Return On Investment), the Company is "miles ahead" of the current and traditional static networks and Protocol based networking.

Through the company's principles of dynamic networks; an entire LAN (Local Area Network) is condensed into a single system. This alters the 50 or so years of networking tradition.

Through the company's co-operative computing and clustering based networking, resource sharing; co-operative/distributed/parallel computations are achieved across an entire LAN or WAN (Wide Area Networks). With TOSCANA O/S, this breaks away from the current protocol based, non-sharing networks with numerous real benefits. It redefines the capabilities of LAN & WAN.

Through the company's engineering (in clustering and multiprocessor based operating systems and Gigabit Ethernet with Quality Of Services), high scalability, high performance, high availability, high traceability, fail-safe and fail-over systems are achieved and become network intelligent. MIS and systems architecture would never be the same in the future.

Through the use of TOSCANAs, Open and standard hardware and network platforms, over all system costs (R&D, engineering time and production overhead) and product cycle times are down to a minimum. A new equation in terms of improving system costs, performance, maintenance and product cycles are created.

The above are not dreams but time-tested products on the market. With proper finance and marketing, the company would be a paradigm shift and a major force to the industry.

From this point on, the landscape of LAN and WAN could never be the same: with 1 /2 to 1/10 in cost, x 2 to x 10 in performance, high scalability, high availability, fail-over and fail-safe architecture, a new standard in performance and in ROI is set.

Based on the above principles, the company designs, develops, manufactures and markets the most advanced and powerful (OSI model Layer 7/Layer 5 to Layer 2) integrated application systems. These TOSCANA systems can perform the functions of routers/servers and switches combined. TOSCANAs are integrated network products that perform high capacity dynamic networking and application routing combined with the most powerful network and server functions on the market today. TOSCANAs are highly scalable and available with unmatchable ROI and benefits!

Power and scalability comes with our Clustered TOSCANAs. In terms of its capabilities in performing routing functions, it is the fastest on the market today; five to eight times faster at about ? to 2/3rds the cost of current backbone (Highest End) routers. It changes the way Data Centers and networks are to be designed and deployed.

One of the leading integrated functions of the TOSCANA, is the VOD-Data-Center-In-A-Box. An optimized TOSCANA is a network of routers, servers, switches, load balancers, firewalls and VOD (Video On Demand) servers integrated into a single unit. It reduces system cost by at least 2/3 and increases performance by two to five times. It changes the landscape of VOD businesses.

"Sustainable business models", "Killer applications", and "equipment with the ROI (Return Of Investment) right for the Internet economy" have been the regular absentees in our network-based economy. That was why we had the Internet bubble. That is why we have no significant "locomotives" to push and pull the economy up at our current state of the industry.

Power-All Networks is the answer to such needs. Our products and capabilities allow us to be a single source for the entire infrastructure from systems to Data Centers to LAN & WAN.

These products have been time tested for three generations. The first and second generations have been for internal use and for testing in a leading ISP running global networks and routing for two years. The current generation, the third generation, has been in use over 6 months. It has been carrying world-class data traffic since then.

To our best knowledge on an apple-to-apple basis, there is no direct product competition on the market today. Company positioning wise (in terms of technical platforms, approach, architecture and coverage), there is no company in our range.

The company TOSCANA product lines are grouped into three categories:

  • The LAN replacement series.
    Multifunctions, up to an entire LAN for hundreds of thousands of users, are integrated into a single system. This system could be our "Office In A Box", a very simple and inexpensive pair of TOSCANAs for small offices. It could be our highly available, fail-safe and fail over, clustering based "Network in a Chassis" for large enterprises.
  • The Infrastructure series.
    The most powerful, highly scalable and highly available TOSCANAs on the market. They are for infrastructural projects such as data centers, metropolitan or backbone networks
  • The WAN series.
    These TOSCANAs are the underlying gigabit and fast Ethernet units supporting clustering and co-operative computing across WAN and LAN.

Overall and benefits wise, TOSCANAs provide integration, solutions, features, performance, functionality and reliability in an economical way that was not available before. An entire new standard in price performance ratio, ROI (Return On Investment), absolute cost of equipment and operation is set. A new business model to revolutionize data and its business is born based on the company's technology and products.
