'01 LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 6, 2001 InfiniSwitch Corporation, the market leader in developing InfiniBand(TM) switching solutions, today announced their participation at two technology conferences this week in Los Angeles Los Angeles (lôs ăn`jələs, lŏs, ăn`jəlēz'), city (1990 pop. 3,485,398), seat of Los Angeles co., S Calif.; inc. 1850. : the Fall 2001 InfiniBand Solutions Conference, Nov. 7-8 at The Century Plaza Hotel The Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles is a landmark 19-story luxury hotel forming a sweeping crescent design fronting the spectacular fountains on Avenue of the Stars adjacent to the twin Century Plaza Towers. & Spa, and the SAP TechEd'01, Nov. 6-9 at the Los Angeles Convention Center The Los Angeles Convention Center (abbreviated LACC) is a convention center in downtown Los Angeles. The LACC hosts annual events such as the Greater Los Angeles Auto Show, and was best known to video games fans as host to E3 until its cessation in 2006. . "These conferences show the industry's commitment to InfiniBand technology and it's focus on delivering interoperable InfiniBand solutions," said Don Zereski CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of InfiniSwitch Corporation. "Having our InfiniBand switching technology running with demonstrations from industry leaders like IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) , Intel and Dell underscores our role as the industry's leading InfiniBand switch provider." InfiniBand Solutions Conference InfiniSwitch switching technology is being featured in demonstrations from both IBM and Intel, as well as in booths of development partners Banderacom, Lane15 and VIEO. The InfiniSwitch solution is the only InfiniBand switch in IBM's eServer Interoperability demonstration. This demo includes IBM eServer This article is about the IBM family of computer servers. For the open access electronic text archive, see EServer.org. IBM eServer was a family of computer servers from IBM Corporation. xSeries and pSeries server platforms utilizing InfiniBand technology. InfiniSwitch is collaborating with Intel on three InfiniBand technology demonstrations: a Heterogeneous InfiniBand Fabric demonstration, an e-Business Database demonstration, and a Video on Demand demonstration. These demonstrations highlight the benefits that the InfiniBand architecture delivers in real-world application environments. In addition to the IBM and Intel demonstrations, InfiniSwitch is running an InfiniBand enabled 4-node IBM DB2 Linux cluster in Booth #416 of the Fall 2001 InfiniBand Solutions Conference. SAP TechEd'01 Conference The InfiniSwitch Leaf Switch, its first-generation 1u (1.75") 32-port 1X InfiniBand switch is also running in both IBM and Dell DB2 cluster demonstrations. InfiniBand is an emerging technology that will eliminate 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. I/O - Input/Output performance and scalability bottlenecks that exist in today's data center environments. InfiniBand's point-to-point, switch-based interconnect establishes a new and efficient way to communicate between computers, networks, and storage. It provides a scalable performance range of 2.5Gb/s(1X) to 30Gb/s(12X), meeting the reliability, availability, and scalability requirements of any enterprise class data center. InfiniSwitch is developing the switching technology, which resides at the heart of the InfiniBand architecture. IT managers will finally be able to take advantage of massive amounts of available computing power. Analyst firm, IDC, predicts more than 4 million server shipments - nearly 80 percent of the market - will be InfiniBand enabled by 2004.
