Business Wire
Voltaire Ltd. (NASDAQ: VOLT), a leading provider of scale-out
data center fabrics, today announced plans to deliver FDR (fourteen
data rate) InfiniBand switching platforms that adhere to the
InfiniBand Trade Association’s (IBTA) specifications for next
generation InfiniBand. The new platforms will deliver an 80 percent
increase in server-to-server throughput and improved scalability
for faster application runtime. The switches will also have full
compatibility with Voltaire’s unique portfolio of application
acceleration and fabric orchestration software to enable even
greater fabric performance, scalability and management.
The Voltaire switches are expected to be available in the second
half of 2011, aligned with the anticipated release of next
generation server platforms and PCIe 3.0. Voltaire Grid Director™
switches provide high-performance InfiniBand connectivity and low
latency to enable high-performance applications to run on
distributed server, network and storage resources. Moreover, the
switches’ power-efficient design offers low power and cooling
requirements. They are used by customers worldwide in industries
including financial services, manufacturing, energy, life sciences
and HPC.
Voltaire switches accelerate more than half of the InfiniBand
deployments on the new TOP500 list released this week — more than
double the share of any other InfiniBand systems vendor.
“Voltaire is committed to the HPC market and we are aggressively
developing solutions based on InfiniBand to continue to the lead
the market in performance and scalability,” said Asaf Somekh, vice
president of marketing, Voltaire. “FDR InfiniBand will address the

scale-out fabric of choice for future petascale and exascale
clusters delivered through our key OEM partners,” Somekh added.

higher application performance, delivering improved efficiency,
scalability, and return on investment for the next wave of
