New York City City (pop., 2000: 8,008,278), southeastern New York, at the mouth of the Hudson River. The largest city in the U.S. . EtherFabric accelerates application performance by delivering over 10 times (900%) the performance of traditional Ethernet server interfaces while remaining fully compatible with existing applications and Ethernet networks. The innovative solution from Level 5 Networks has broad applicability in the financial services industry. EtherFabric lets financial analysts develop models and forecasts that have never before been possible, and dramatically increases the transaction rates of trading applications, giving financial services companies a significant competitive edge. "Wall Street financial institutions have been on a quest for Verb 1. quest for - go in search of or hunt for; "pursue a hobby" quest after, go after, pursue look for, search, seek - try to locate or discover, or try to establish the existence of; "The police are searching for clues"; "They are searching for the network technology which significantly enhances application performance," said Dan Karr, President and 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 Level 5 Networks. "Level 5 Networks' EtherFabric delivers dramatic application performance enhancement while maintaining full compatibility with the existing IT infrastructure. Compatibility with existing applications, networks and operating systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. of our EtherFabric solution allows companies to take advantage of the increased performance our product provides through a simple upgrade." EtherFabric Price-Performance Leadership EtherFabric is an accelerated version of the existing Ethernet standard that increases transaction rates and computational throughput without expensive new hardware and risky software changes. Other non-standard high performance networking solutions, by contrast, require both hardware and software. By eliminating the server 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 bottleneck A lessening of throughput. It often refers to networks that are overloaded, which is caused by the inability of the hardware and transmission lines to support the traffic. It can also refer to a mismatch inside the computer where slower-speed peripheral buses and devices prevent the CPU and delivering up to a tenfold tenfold Adjective 1. having ten times as many or as much 2. composed of ten parts Adverb by ten times as many or as much Adj. 1. increase in performance, EtherFabric enhances data center performance and lets companies optimize their existing IT infrastructure to maximize the investment in their high-performance servers that support the transaction-intensive demands of financial services. With EtherFabric, financial services firms can buy, sell, and conduct research more efficiently to maintain their competitive advantage. --Accelerating the performance of existing financial applications enables financial analysts to reduce the time required to conduct research and create models and forecasts that have never before been possible --High transaction rates provide competitive advantage in fast-moving global financial markets --Full compatibility with proven IT standards removes the implementation risk, allowing simple integration into existing IT operations --EtherFabric optimizes the investment in IT infrastructure and lowers the total cost of data center ownership Microseconds Matter: Industry Validation EtherFabric is gaining widespread industry support for its unbeatable combination of performance gains, compatibility, ease of use, and low cost. The industry has acknowledged that EtherFabric is poised to become a ubiquitous offering because it offers significant performance gains without risk. The Tolly Group, a leading independent research and testing group has conducted a battery of tests on the EtherFabric EF1-21022T dual-port Gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 Gbps. Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub. NIC and issued their "Up to Spec" certification, validating the products' performance and compatibility claims. For a full review of the Level 5 Networks' commissioned report, click on www.tolly.com.
