What Does EISA Stand For?

EISA stands for Extended Industry Standard Architecture

EISA, or Extended Industry Standard Architecture, is a standardized bus architecture that extends the capabilities of the Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) to support 32-bit data transfers and enhanced system performance. Introduced in the late 1980s, EISA allows for greater compatibility and flexibility in connecting peripherals and expanding system functionalities, making it suitable for server and high-performance computing environments. Its design facilitates the integration of multiple device types while maintaining backward compatibility with ISA devices.
