S2io to Accelerate 10 Gigabit Ethernet Adoption By Eliminating Data Center Networking Bottlenecks.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers Data Center Futures Conference CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 4, 2003 Company Emerges From Stealth Mode Taking place in secret. It often refers to the position that startup companies take when developing a product they feel will be very competitive in the marketplace. They swear everyone to secrecy and keep a very low profile until they are ready to launch. as One of Only 10 Startups to Be Featured at Data Center Futures Conference S2io Technologies, a Silicon Valley-based company, is developing next generation 10 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. networking products for high performance server and networked storage environments. The company is using this week's Data Center Futures Conference to announce its technology, market strategy and product roadmap A roadmap may refer to:
"S2io is focused on delivering 10 Gigabit Ethernet-based solutions that dramatically improve server performance and storage connectivity in data center and high performance computing computing - computer environments," said Dave Zabrowski, 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 S2io. "We have teamed with industry-leading server and storage OEMs to create a product roadmap that uses practical innovation to solve real world problems." Escalating information demands in today's enterprise architectures have created a huge 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 causing inefficient CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. utilization and scalability problems. The result is unnecessary IT capital equipment expenditures, rising management and maintenance costs and end-user frustration over delays in accessing data. "The ability to dramatically improve data center performance through the implementation and enhancement of 10 GbE provides an immediate advantage to enterprise data centers," stated Vish Mulchand, Worldwide Product Line manager for Hewlett Packard's Business Critical Server Group. S2io's first product is currently being evaluated by the leading server and storage OEMs and will be in general release in the third quarter of this year. This first product represents the initial phase of a product roadmap that is focused on dramatically improving performance, reliability and availability of networked server and storage environments in the data center. "As 10GbE continues to make inroads inroads Noun, pl make inroads into to start affecting or reducing: my gambling has made great inroads into my savings inroads npl to make inroads into [+ in the data center, S2io's evolutionary strategy is a sound one," stated Jag Baloria, senior analyst with The Linley Group, "and they appear to understand what it takes to be a leader in the market." About S2io Technologies Founded in 2001, S2io Technologies has locations in Ottawa, Canada and Cupertino, Calif. The company is developing 10 Gigabit Ethernet hardware solutions with requisite software that will enable OEMs to solve their customers' high-end networking problems. The company's products are based on S2io-developed technology that will deliver new levels of server and storage performance, availability and reliability in data center server and storage environments. S2io has raised over $27M in funding with its latest B round taking place in December 2002. Further information on the company can be found at http://www.s2io.com/. |
