Banderacom Demonstrates IBandit Prototype InfiniBand Chip Set During Intel Developer Forum in San Jose; Live Demonstrations Banderacom Booth No. 310.Business Editors & High-Tech Writers SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 27, 2001 Banderacom(tm), a leading fabless InfiniBand(tm) semiconductor company, will demonstrate its IBandit prototype chip set and product development kit (PDK PDK Phi Delta Kappa (professional organization for teachers) PDK Portal Development Kit (SAP Enterprise Portal) PDK Peachtree-Dekalb Airport (Atlanta, GA, USA) ), based on Banderacom's high-performance IBandit architecture, at this week's Intel Developer Forum Intel Developer Forum (IDF), is a twice yearly gathering of technologists to discuss Intel products and products based around Intel products. The first IDF was in 1997. There is usually a Spring IDF and a Fall IDF. (IDF (Intermediate Distribution Frame) A wiring rack located between the MDF (main distribution frame) and the intended end user devices (telephones, routers, PCs, etc.). Cables run from the outside world to the MDF and then to the IDFs. See MDF and wiring rack. ). Banderacom will display its innovative architecture, including its proprietary IBandit Protocol Engine, in a special IDF area known as "InfiniBand Central." "We look forward to participating and interacting with other InfiniBand companies to demonstrate the incredible opportunities presented by this challenging, high performance technology," said Les Crudele, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

"We are eager to demonstrate that Banderacom's unique protocol chip set, including our proprietary IBandit InfiniBand Protocol Engine, that enables target channel adaptors to sustain bandwidth throughput up to several hundred times faster than those designed utilizing general purpose processors." Banderacom works with Intel on a variety of InfiniBand programs including interoperability testing, marketing and licensing of portions of Intel's Target Transport Service (TTS (1) See text-to-speech.

In the event of a hardware or software failure, it ensures that the database is brought back to its former state before the attempt to ) software as part of the IBandit software stack. Intel's TTS is a suite of software elements that provide channel adapter vendors with a common software interface. "Interoperability is a critical deliverable for the successful launch of InfiniBand fabrics," said Jim Pappas, Director of Initiative Marketing for Intel's Enterprise Platform Group, "Banderacom's use of Intel's TTS software will help accelerate interoperability for applications running on a mixture of Intel and Banderacom based InfiniBand components." In addition to demonstrations in Banderacom's booth (No. 310), Banderacom, will participate in a multi-vendor Interoperability session at the Intel Developers Forum. Banderacom, Intel, and other InfiniBand developers will demonstrate how they collaborate to rapidly deploy InfiniBand technology and help customers move products to market more quickly. This complements Banderacom's work on the InfiniBand Trade Association's Compliance and Interoperability Working Group. About InfiniBand Architecture InfiniBand technology is a high-performance channel-based semiconductor architecture that provides increased scalability and reliability for servers and other Internet infrastructure equipment. Using a packet-based switching fabric, InfiniBand technology is expected to meet the need for faster, less congested con·gest·ed adj. Affected with or characterized by congestion. congested ENT adjective Referring to a boggy blood-filled tissue. See Nasal congestion. and more reliable data transport through the Internet. About Banderacom Banderacom is an Austin, Texas-based fabless semiconductor company A fabless semiconductor company specializes in the design and sale of hardware devices implemented on semiconductor chips. It achieves an advantage by outsourcing the fabrication of the devices to a specialized semiconductor manufacturer called a semiconductor foundry or "fab. focused on dramatically increasing the performance and reliability of networking, storage, and server system products in the dynamic new world of InfiniBand. Banderacom provides flexible, high performance semiconductors based on InfiniBand specifications. Banderacom was founded in 1999 by a veteran team from the microprocessor and communications semiconductor industries. Banderacom is funded by multiple capital partners including Austin Ventures, Intel, and Jato Tech Ventures. Banderacom is a member of InfiniBand Trade Association The InfiniBand Trade Association (IBTA) is the standards organization that defines and maintains the InfiniBand specification. It is an industry consortium. The IBTA was established in 1999, and its most prominent members include Cisco, IBM, Intel, Mellanox, QLogic, Sun and (www.infinibandta.org).
