Company Name: Eclipse
Description: Engaging in the manufacturing of computer hardware components since the 1990s, Eclipse Technologies is considered as one of the more dependable in the area of display and imaging devices. The company draws on its rich market experience in the delivery of various product series like scanners, monitors, and other similar products in the category.
Eclipse constantly strives to represent to the IT market the most innovative display products by creating new products based on existing and emerging technologies.
The company remained competitive and active in the computer market until the later part of 2006. During its peak years of operation, it was responsible for creating its own niche in the industry. Eclipse gained the reputation of providing to computer users high quality and long lasting products evidenced by the presence of its products in the industry up to this time even if the company has already terminated its business.
Industry experts believe that the extended lifecycle of the products produced by Eclipse Technologies can be attributed to its foresight. Unlike majority of its market competitors, the company successfully released to the industry hardware drivers for their products to allow support even for newer operating systems environments.
It is a common sight in the IT industry that Eclipse products have a driver support that begins with the Microsoft Windows 3.1 version and extends up to the latest release, the Windows Vista Operating System platform. There are also several third party developers who believe in the longevity and reliability of the company’s products and they take the initiative of developing updated drivers for the various products still in use in the industry.
The company made sure that its driver platforms are created in a simplified manner allowing for easy modification. Similar to the concept of the open source computing, the company intentionally made their support drivers available to third party developers. In this context, still operational Eclipse products can be assured of continued driver support regardless of whatever newer operating system platforms are released.
For many software developers, this is a legacy that will long be associated to Eclipse Technologies. With the steady rise in the number of users of open source operating systems and applications like Ubuntu, Fedora, Red Hat, and OpenOffice.org, the company’s products will be continuously supported by the developers of these open source programs.
Released during the 1990s when Eclipse Technologies was still attempting to establish itself in the industry, the VM6599 is a scanner device that can be operated exclusively for the Microsoft Windows 95 and Windows 98 Operating System environments.
This is perhaps one of the few products to be released to the computer market by the company that has no updated device driver. The reason is that the production of this scanner has been discontinued by the company long before it closed shop.
