NetEffect to Demonstrate High-Performance, OpenFabrics Ethernet Solution.SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden -- NetEffect, the leader in next generation Ethernet connectivity solutions, today announced they will showcase their 10Gb iWARP Ethernet channel adapter (ECA ECA See: Export Credit Agency ) at the 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. ) to demonstrate Ethernet support for the OpenFabrics software. NetEffect's NE010e will be featured as part of a demonstration, where Intel's MPI MPI - Message Passing Interface will be running over OpenFabrics' uDAPL interface, showcasing the OpenFabrics Alliance support for iWARP Ethernet. The demonstration will take place in OpenFabrics booth #732. As part of the demonstration, Cisco Systems will feature its Ethernet and InfiniBand switches, and QLogic will feature its products. NetEffect has developed the industry's highest performing Ethernet channel adapter and is the only company delivering adapters that fully implement the iWARP Ethernet standard, allowing data center managers to realize 10Gbps throughput using existing Ethernet hardware and software while radically improving processor utilization. "We proudly add Intel to the growing list of technology leaders who recognize the unique benefits of NetEffect Ethernet channel adapters," said Rick Maule, 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 NetEffect. "We are committed to the continued evolution of Ethernet, allowing the world's most ubiquitous networking technology to meet the growing demands of today's data centers." "It is exciting to watch the RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) A communications protocol that provides transmission of data from the memory of one computer to the memory of another without involving the CPU. InfiniBand, Virtual Interface (VI) and RDMA Over IP are all forms of RDMA. Ethernet community demonstrate support of the Open Fabric's Alliance. Companies such as NetEffect are committed to supporting the most demanding applications with industry leading processor and connectivity solutions, while continuing to support the ubiquitous Ethernet standards," said Jim Pappas, director of technology initiatives for Intel Corporation. "The joint demonstration showcases the OpenFabrics standard is now truly RDMA transport independent." NetEffect is a founding member of the OpenFabrics Alliance, an industry consortium developing transport agnostic open source software for RDMA fabric technologies. The OpenFabrics Alliance is a featured part of IDF, Intel's annual conference where the latest advancements in Intel Core microarchitecture are on display. About NetEffect NetEffect is a privately held network connectivity solutions company providing next generation, multi-gigabit Ethernet products. These products fully implement the iWARP extensions to the Ethernet standard as ratified by the IETF See Internet Engineering Task Force. IETF - Internet Engineering Task Force . iWARP enables Ethernet scalability to deliver high throughput for networking, fast access for storage, and low latency for clustering. NetEffect solutions can concurrently support legacy Ethernet infrastructures and the new generation of storage and clustering applications, at 10Gbps speeds.
