Accomplished Technology Leader Andrew Wolfe Joins Entridia as Member of Technical Advisory Board.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 17, 2000 Entridia, a pioneer in high-performance silicon-based routing engines for converged IP networks, today announced that Andrew Wolfe, chief technology officer at S3 Inc., has joined as the newest member of Entridia's Technical Advisory Board. Wolfe's unparalleled engineering expertise will greatly benefit Entridia in the strategic planning Strategic planning is an organization's process of defining its strategy, or direction, and making decisions on allocating its resources to pursue this strategy, including its capital and people. and development of the company's core technologies. "We are very proud to have Andrew as a part of our Technical Advisory Board," said Terry Holdt, chief executive officer and president of Entridia. "His eminent wealth of technical knowledge and strategic business experience will provide a valuable perspective as we execute to our aggressive roadmap." Having joined S3 Inc. in 1997, Wolfe served as the director of technology and later became the vice president of systems integration before assuming his current role of chief technology officer. During his tenure, Wolfe successfully integrated various technology divisions associated with the acquisition of Diamond Multimedia and managed the development of the Savage/MX and Savage/IX mobile 3D graphics accelerators. Prior to S3, he served as vice president of the Graphics Technology Company and was an engineering professor at Princeton University Princeton University, at Princeton, N.J.; coeducational; chartered 1746, opened 1747, rechartered 1748, called the College of New Jersey until 1896. Schools and Research Facilities . He is currently a consulting professor at Stanford University Stanford University, at Stanford, Calif.; coeducational; chartered 1885, opened 1891 as Leland Stanford Junior Univ. (still the legal name). The original campus was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. David Starr Jordan was its first president. . Wolfe has been the recipient of several industry awards including the AT&T/Lucent Foundation Research Award. He holds three patents and has been published in over 10 journals and has presented over 40 conference papers; he has a Ph.D. and M.S. in Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University Carnegie Mellon University, at Pittsburgh, Pa.; est. 1967 through the merger of the Carnegie Institute of Technology (founded 1900, opened 1905) and the Mellon Institute of Industrial Research (founded 1913). and a B.S.E.E. from Johns Hopkins University Johns Hopkins University, mainly at Baltimore, Md. Johns Hopkins in 1867 had a group of his associates incorporated as the trustees of a university and a hospital, endowing each with $3.5 million. Daniel C. . "I am looking forward to working with one of the industry's leading enablers of next-generation silicon routing solutions for the Internet backbone (communications, networking) Internet backbone - High-speed networks that carry Internet traffic. These communications networks are provided by companies such as AT&T, GTE, IBM, MCI, Netcom, Sprint, UUNET and consist of high-speed links in the T1, T3, OC1 and OC3 ranges. ," said Wolfe. "Entridia's technology expertise and breadth of engineering talent make possible the high-performance IP-only silicon solutions that successfully address next-generation line aggregation equipment needs."
