About the StarFabric Trade Association The StarFabric Trade Association, a non-profit, open membership industry group, was created to develop and promote the StarFabric switched interconnect (1) To attach one device to another. (2) A physical port (plug, socket) or wireless port (transmitter, receiver) used to attach one device to another. technology. The founding members represent a wide spectrum of organizations, which together provide the broad and diverse perspective required to ensure StarFabric will continue to meet the dynamic market requirements of next generation embedded Inserted into. See embedded system. and communication systems. StarFabric is a powerful switched interconnect technology for backplane An interconnecting device that has sockets for printed circuit boards to plug into. Passive and Active Although resistors may be used, a "passive" backplane adds no processing in the circuit. and chassis-to-chassis applications. It enables next generation Embedded Distributed Processing The first term used to describe the distribution of multiple computers throughout an organization in contrast to a centralized system. It started with the first minicomputers. Today, distributed processing is called "distributed computing." See also client/server. applications to meet market demands. The technology provides for unprecedented levels of scalability How much a system can be expanded. See scalable. scalability - How well a solution to some problem will work when the size of the problem increases. For example, a central server of some kind with ten clients may perform adequately but with a thousand clients it , performance and availability for a wide range of systems. It supports multiple classes of traffic, adding further flexibility and enhancements to systems while utilizing existing standards-based software and hardware investments. The StarFabric Trade Association owns the StarFabric Architecture and is responsible for all future enhancements. (www.starfabric.org See .org.
