Commex[TM] Introduces Vulcan SE HT6210 HTX[TM]-Based Content-Aware 10GbE Network Adaptor, Now Available with HP ProLiant DL785 G5 Server.


Commex Technologies Ltd. launches a family of content-aware 10GbE Network Interface Cards (NICs) delivering multicore-scalable performance

TEL AVIV Tel Aviv (tĕl əvēv`), city (1994 pop. 355,200), W central Israel, on the Mediterranean Sea. Oficially named Tel Aviv–Jaffa, it is Israel's commercial, financial, communications, and cultural center and the core of its largest , Israel -- Today, Commex Technologies Ltd. announced the availability of its Vulcan SE HT6210 content-aware dual-channel 10GbE Network Interface Card (NIC (1) (Network Interface Card) See network adapter. See also InterNIC.

) for the HP ProLiant DL785 G5 server (see: http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/en/WF05a/15351-15351-3328412-241644-3328423-3716072.html).

Commex Vulcan SE HT6210 NIC (powered by the Commex Thunder[TM] network controller) connects the network via two ports of 10GbE, directly to the multiple processing cores on the HP ProLiant DL785 G5 server. Commex Vulcan SE with content-aware technology is designed to enable a wide range of network-centric applications. With Vulcan SE, customers can now choose to deploy 10GbE content-aware multi-processing systems based on the scalability and leading-edge performance of the HP ProLiant DL785 G5 server. Many customers are choosing to take advantage of the I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output.

By applying Deep Packet Inspection Analyzing network traffic to discover the type of application that sent the data. In order to prioritize traffic or filter out unwanted data, deep packet inspection can differentiate data, such as video, audio, chat, voice over IP (VoIP), e-mail and Web. , Commex Vulcan SE leverages content awareness to distribute and balance network data processing data processing or information processing, operations (e.g., handling, merging, sorting, and computing) performed upon data in accordance with strictly defined procedures, such as recording and summarizing the financial transactions of a  amongst the multiple processing cores. The Vulcan SE content-aware dual-channel 10GbE NIC leverages the AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, www.amd.com) A major manufacturer of semiconductor devices including x86-compatible CPUs, embedded processors, flash memories, programmable logic devices and networking chips.  Direct Connect Architecture by connecting directly to a Quad-Core AMD Opteron[TM] processor via a 16-lane HyperTransport[TM] interface (for more information, see www.hypertransport.org).

The result is true multicore scalability of network traffic performance. The combination of the HP ProLiant DL785 G5 server supporting up to 32 AMD Opteron processor cores and the Commex Vulcan SE NIC allows for simultaneous high processing performance and scalable network traffic throughput.

For a broad range of applications, Commex Vulcan SE delivers performance significantly better than that of competing 10GbE NICs (benchmark results available upon request). Such performance is highly desirable for server applications including: database transactions, Web caching caching - cache , IT security, application delivery, bandwidth management Controlling the traffic flow in a network.

"This is an excellent opportunity for Commex," said Ze'ev Rivlin, Commex Vice President, Marketing and Business Development. "HP is one of the first OEMs selected to prove the strength of our technology and our team here at Commex is very pleased with the collaboration. We are already seeing significant interest in our Vulcan SE NIC as a result."

The Commex Vulcan SE NIC has been extensively tested in HP's Roseville, California Roseville is a city in Placer County, California, located in the metropolitan area of Sacramento. As of January 1 2007 the population was 106,266. Interstate Highway 80 runs through Roseville and California Route 65 bisects the northern part of the city. , USA Labs on the HP ProLiant DL785 G5 server.

"Customers looking to accelerate their growth require faster response time of their business applications," said Lorraine Bartlett, director, worldwide server marketing, Business Critical Systems, HP. "The network acceleration option provided by Commex Vulcan NIC running on HP ProLiant DL785 G5 servers eliminates network bottlenecks and, as a result, increases overall application performance."

Commex Vulcan SE HT6210 Network Interface Card is currently available to customers for use with HP ProLiant DL785 G5 as well as HP ProLiant DL165 G5 servers.
