Voltaire's Entire InfiniBand Product Line Achieves IBTA Certification

Released this week, the IBTA's integrator's list is based on the test results of the organization's recent InfiniBand product PlugFest, during which products from InfiniBand companies successfully passed a battery of rigorous compliancy and interoperability tests. The IBTA integrator's list is an important reference point for today's enterprises and HPC research facilities as they move to deploy high performance InfiniBand solutions to enhance and accelerate connectivity for their database and server clusters. Based on industry standards, InfiniBand is increasingly being adopted as a high speed cluster interconnect in lieu of Gigabit Ethernet or proprietary technologies. Voltaire submitted for testing its entire family of high performance InfiniBand solutions, more products than any other participating vendor. The following Voltaire products achieved certification: * InfiniBand Switches: Voltaire ISR 9600, ISR 9024 and ISR 6000, all with management * InfiniBand Routers: Voltaire intelligent InfiniBand-to-IP router for connectivity to IP networks and Voltaire intelligent InfiniBand-to-Fibre Channel router for connectivity to storage networks * InfiniBand Adapter: Voltaire HCA 400LP * Subnet Management: VoltaireVisionT InfiniBand Fabric Management Software. All of Voltaire's switches were tested and certified in managed configurations making Voltaire the exclusive vendor to achieve certification for small, medium and large port count InfiniBand switches with management. "Voltaire is pleased to be recognized by the IBTA for our technology leadership in developing standards-based, high performance InfiniBand solutions for HPC and enterprise customers," said Arun Jain, vice president of marketing, Voltaire. "Having the IBTA's 'stamp of approval' on all of our products is an important assurance to customers that they can fully leverage the performance benefits that Voltaire InfiniBand solutions bring to grid and clustered computing environments."
