许多网络公司正在联手开发蓬勃发展的远程接入市场,以努力扩展他们在小型商务、企业网络和服务商领域中的产品。他们中的Shiva公司、Cisco公司和Cabletron公司宣布,新型硬件尽管是面向不同的用户,但目的却只有一个——即提供一种平台,用以满足那些由快速发展的调制解凋器供应商们提出的大量商务需求。为什么众多公司会如此关注远程接入呢?市场研究机构Gartner预测,到2002年,世界上将有超过10亿的远程用户。这个数字将是2000年预测的一倍,预计这些用户中的一半将来自美国。另一研究机构也持有相同的观点,据他们预测客户端远程接入的收入将在2001年翻一倍。由于每一个用户都拨号进入,因此必须有一个象Cisco和Shiva生产的服务端逻辑单元那样的设备。
Many internet companies are working together to develop the booming remote access market in an effort to expand their products in the small business, enterprise network, and service provider sectors. Among them, Shiva Corporation, Cisco Corporation, and Cabletron Corporation announced that although the new hardware is aimed at different users, it has only one purpose - namely, to provide a platform to meet the needs of those rapidly developing suppliers of modems. A lot of business needs are raised. Why do many companies are so concerned about remote access? Market research firm Gartner predicts that by 2002, there will be more than one billion remote users in the world. This figure will be double the 2000 forecast and it is expected that half of these users will come from the United States. Another research institution holds the same view. According to them, it is predicted that the revenue from client remote access will double in 2001. Since each user dials in, there must be a device such as a server-side logic unit produced by Cisco and Shiva.
