SC08 - Ethernet Alliance Celebrates 35 Years of Ethernet

 The Ethernet Alliance will be participating at SC08 in Austin, Texas, November 17 - 20, where we will recognize the 35th anniversary of the invention of Ethernet. Show coordinators estimate more than 10,000 attendees and 265 exhibitors for this year's event. The Ethernet Alliance has upgraded to booth # 2514, so make plans now to visit the Ethernet Alliance as we demonstrate the following: 
 
A converged 10 GbE network with a server cluster accessing two separate storage arrays.  The servers and iSCSI storage are connected by low latency Ethernet switches, and the Fibre Channel storage is accessed via an FCoE switch.  A variety of fiber and copper media will be used to demonstrate the flexibility of 10 GbE interface and cabling options, including passive/active CX4, 10GBASE-T, XFP and SFP+.  Each of the storage arrays has geological/seismic data that is processed by the server cluster, and the results are sent to a workstation that displays a geological oil well model in 3D.
 
Booth participants are Cisco, Extreme Networks, Force10 Networks, Fulcrum, Ixia, Mellanox, Panduit, QLogic, Solarflare, Teranetics and Tyco Electronics.

Ethernet Ecosystem Panel at 2008 ATCA Summit

Make plans to attend the Ethernet Alliance “Ethernet Ecosystem” panel at the 2008 ATCA Summit on Tuesday, October 21 at the Santa Clara Convention Center. Time and room location TBA in the coming weeks.

The panel will bring together various experts from the Ethernet community to explore the direct synergy of how Ethernet impacts ATCA blade server systems, and the indirect synergy Ethernet has on ATCA blade systems via its influence on the ecosystem that is integrating ATCA blade systems. 

Panelists include:
Anthony Faustini, Cisco
John D'Ambrosia, Force10 Networks
Asif Hazarika, Fujitsu

Mike Bennett, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab
