    Why: Performance Technologies is the originator of the PICMG 2.16
architecture and a leading developer of embedded computing products
and system-level solutions for the communications, military and
commercial markets. PICMG 2.16 allows system architects to design
high-bandwidth, exceptionally scalable and distributed systems capable
of offering high availability and fault-tolerant features not possible
using existing bus-based architectures such as PCI. With over 40
vendors providing compatible products, PICMG 2.16 is currently the
only deployable standards-based switch fabric architecture.

    Those who should attend:

    --  Systems developers needing increased performance and
        reliability above existing standard or proprietary equipment
        architectures

    --  Current users of bus-based systems looking to migrate to
        packet-switched backplane architectures

    --  Engineers looking to clarify how PICMG 2.16 coexists and
        complements other specifications.
