SUNNYVALE, Calif., July 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Chelsio Communications, Inc.,
the leading provider of 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) adapters and ASIC
solutions, today announced that its T3-based, dual port 10GbE CX4 PCI Express
Storage Accelerator has been selected by Verari Systems as the high-speed
interconnect for its award-winning BladeRack(R) 2 X-Series DataServer(TM) and
StorageServer(TM) storage platforms. Chelsio adapters are the highest
performance 10GbE in the industry, and are designed for storage, server and
cluster networking applications.
"The combination of Verari Systems' DataServer and StorageServer products
with Chelsio's CX4 10G Storage Accelerators offers customers increased
performance, scalability and cabling efficiency, and ultimately more value,"
said Kevin McGrath, vice president and general manager, Verari Systems Storage
Systems Group. "As the result of our relationship with Chelsio and the joint
engineering expertise of both companies, we are now providing industry-leading
10G Ethernet solutions to our customers and helping speed the industry to
greater adoption of 10G Ethernet connectivity."
"Our Unified Wire adapters enable Verari Systems' platforms to
simultaneously address storage, clustering and networking markets without
requiring specialty switches, gateways or IT personnel," said Kianoosh
Naghshineh, president and CEO of Chelsio. "Any generic 10Gb Ethernet switch
can be used to deliver the value of fabric convergence. The associated
savings in server power and utilities further enhance the total cost of
ownership for the data center operators."
Verari Systems' Storage Group targets the needs of high-growth Web 2.0 and
Grid markets with high density, power and cooling efficient, blade-based
storage solutions. Offering the industry's densest storage configurations,
its DataServer and StorageServer products provide up to 672TB maximum storage
capacity while boasting the lowest total cost of ownership of any blade-based
storage solution found on the market today.
Chelsio adapters are based on the T3 protocol offload engine, a
proprietary third generation ASIC that supports a wide range of protocols, and
includes virtualization and unique traffic management capabilities. The T3
engine transforms Ethernet into a reliable, high-speed fabric that enables the
Unified Wire, simultaneous support for network applications that traditionally
required different fabrics such as Fibre Channel, Infiniband and Ethernet.
