Ample First to Deliver 16 Gbps Throughput for Volume PC Servers Using Low-Cost CAT5 Cable Infrastructure.Industry's Highest LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. Performance Achieved Using Ample's Silicon FREMONT, Calif. -- Ample Communications, a leading provider of innovative Ethernet Ethernet Telecommunications networking protocol introduced by Xerox Corp. in 1979. It was developed as an inexpensive way of sending information quickly between office machines connected together in a single room or building, but it rapidly became a standard computer silicon for wired communications, today announced the industry's highest performing LAN solution for volume servers. With Ample's LAN, 16 Gbps of full-duplex throughput The speed with which a computer processes data. It is a combination of internal processing speed, peripheral speeds (I/O) and the efficiency of the operating system and other system software all working together. 1. was achieved on a volume dual-core server platform -- an industry first. To enable a mainstream server to deliver such high LAN throughput, 9 ports of Ample's high-performance GbE (1000BASE-T) silicon were used. Other LAN solutions in the industry cannot deliver such high throughput since they completely saturate sat·u·rate v. Abbr. sat. 1. To imbue or impregnate thoroughly. 2.

To, sink or lower a person in the estimation of the public. 2. As a man's character is of great importance to him, and it is his interest to retain the good opinion of all mankind, when he is a witness, he cannot be compelled to disclose the LAN and server performance. Ample's LAN silicon enables this high level of performance over a standard, low-cost CAT5 cable infrastructure, which is the largest installed cable infrastructure world-wide, while keeping overall platform costs and power consumption low. "With our LAN solution, customers can immediately deploy new high-performance LAN-centric applications, which were not previously possible," said Sanjay Sharma, chief strategy officer for Ample Communications. "Our solution also enables high performance and high capacity for server applications such as virtualization An umbrella term for enhancing a computer's ability to do work. Following are the ways virtualization is used. Hardware Virtualization Partitioning the computer's memory into separate and isolated "virtual machines" simulates multiple machines within one physical computer. , storage-servers, security-servers, database-servers, media-servers and others." Ample's LAN silicon delivers the highest performance due to its innovative, highly efficient architecture, which performs processing in low-cost, low-power hardware. This has the advantage of easily scaling up the performance, while keeping platform-level power and costs low. Furthermore, Ample's silicon significantly reduces the cpu-load in the server, which enables the server-CPU to do a lot more as compared to servers with other LAN solutions. Ample's high-performance LAN architecture provides 4-port, high-performance GbE as a baseline The horizontal line to which the bottoms of lowercase characters (without descenders) are aligned.

It will also enable high performance 10GbE (10GBASE-T) devices for the single and multi-port 10G needs of next-generation servers.
