InfiniCon Elected To IBTA Steering
Committee
InfiniCon Systems, a premier provider of shared I/O and switching solutions
for next-generation server networks, announced that it has been elected to the
InfiniBand Trade Association (IBTA) steering committee. InfiniCon's chief
technology officer, Todd Matters, will serve as a committee director. In this
strategic role of defining and championing the InfiniBand Architecture,
InfiniCon joins such leading industry companies as Agilent Technologies, Dell,
Hewlett Packard, IBM, Intel, Mellanox Technologies, Network Appliance and Sun
Microsystems.
Founded in June 2000, InfiniCon Systems was one of the earliest supporters
and
initial developers of InfiniBand technology. The company's InfinIO product
family provides the industry's most complete high-performance networking and
I/O solutions based on InfiniBand, enabling commodity servers to communicate
at 10Gbps to 30 Gbps and share I/O connectivity across multiple network types.
The technology has seen significant acceleration of adoption during 2003, as
evidenced by InfiniCon's announcement in September that its InfinIO Switching
Series has been selected by Fujitsu for use in building one of the world's
largest supercomputer clusters.
"InfiniCon Systems' dedication to InfiniBand-based solutions is directly in
line with the IBTA's ongoing mission of bringing these interconnect solutions
to the broad market. Our appointment to the IBTA board brings us together with
highly-respected companies in a common goal -- furthering the adoption of
InfiniBand," said Todd Matters, CTO of InfiniCon Systems. "We are looking
forward to extolling the virtues of InfiniBand as a member of the steering
committee."
