San Mateo Lab
Most magazines have a test lab that looks like our San Mateo facility: lots of Intel machines, racked and stacked, designed to be easily changed into whatever setup the editors need at a moments notice. But our San Mateo facility is only part of our labs. Here we perform state-of-the-art tests. We have lots of everything: Ethernet, Token Ring, and FDDI as the network infrastructure; and Windows NT and NetWare as the NOSs. Here we test servers, storage, adapters, messaging, power protection, and more. San Mateo is also the heart of our WAN products and services coverage.
