Neterion, Inc., the industry leader in 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE)
adapters for server and storage environments, today announced an OEM
agreement with Fujitsu Limited, to supply Neterion's third generation 10
GbE adapters for Fujitsu SPARC®-based servers. The 10 GbE adapter option
is now available to the general public on Fujitsu SPARC Enterprise
servers.
Fujitsu SPARC Enterprise Mission Critical Models offer optimal
performance, reliability and virtualization for the world's
best-practice application processing. With market leading quad core
SPARC64 VII processors, the high-end SPARC Enterprise M9000 model has
world leading reliability and scalability up to 256 CPU cores and 4TB of
memory. Compact SPARC Enterprise Throughput Computing Models provide a
high throughput profile, best suited to Web and application servers.
With outstanding throughput performance, these models make business
growth easy, while keeping system investments low.
With the addition of state-of-the art 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Fujitsu
sharpens its offering for the enterprise and wide range of applications.
Large scale deployments of network-distributed processing will require
high bandwidth and ultra-low latency, two domains where 10 GbE excels.
Neterion's 10 GbE adapters were qualified across the entire line of
Fujitsu SPARC Enterprise servers running the Solaris 10 operating
system, while supporting networking features such as remote boot. With
high throughput and best-of-breed CPU efficiency, Neterion's 10 GbE
adapters deliver a level of performance fully scalable with Fujitsu's
SPARC Enterprise servers.
Neterion was selected by Fujitsu against a robust field of competitors
for its superior reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS)
features and solid track record in Solaris support. In addition, the two
companies had already collaborated on a high throughput network solution
for another Fujitsu platform. The proven performance in that solution
was another reason to collaborate again.
"The Fujitsu SPARC Enterprise family serves the needs of our most
demanding enterprise customers, who require the highest reliability and
performance for their mission critical applications," stated Mr. Kenichi
Sakai, General Manager, Mission Critical Server Division of Fujitsu Ltd.
"Neterion's 10 Gigabit Ethernet technology offers a very robust
connectivity solution, and is ready to meet the increasing demand for a
competitive edge in an always-connected world."
"We are very pleased that Fujitsu has selected Neterion and HHT," noted
Mr. Keita Miyoshi, General Manager, Opt-Communication Department of
Hitachi High-Technologies.
