ACADEMIA

SilverStorm Technologies today announced its plans for exhibiting at the Supercomputing conference November 14-17, 2005 in Seattle. In addition to showcasing several new industry-first products and technologies, SilverStorm will provide equipment and resources in support of SCinet's OpenIB multi-vendor InfiniBand backbone network. SCinet is the most advanced technology network built on site to enable world-class demonstrations and to support the annual Supercomputing conference. In addition to the live product demonstrations running in SilverStorm's booth, SilverStorm solutions will also be showcased in an extensive set of customers and technology and channel partner booths at Supercomputing. These include Apple, Appro, Fujitsu, Intel, Mellanox, Microsoft, PathScale, Rackable Systems, RAID Inc., Sun Microsystems, Verari Systems, and Virginia Tech. SilverStorm is also partnering with Hewlett Packard who has provided a full rack of HP servers for use in SilverStorm's booth application demonstrations. "SilverStorm is excited about the extensive presence our solutions will have across the show floor this year," said Reini Florin, vice president of marketing, SilverStorm Technologies. "This presence is a reflection of both the success of SilverStorm in the market over the last year as well as the continued rapid acceptance of InfiniBand as the interconnect solution of choice for high performance clustered computing." SilverStorm's portfolio of director-class InfiniBand based switching and virtual gateway solutions provide users with a low latency, multi-protocol interconnect fabric that supports cluster inter-process communication and shared storage and networking I/O access. Cluster performance is significantly improved and the data center is dramatically simplified.
