Solarflare Demos Hyper-V

IRVINE, Calif. -- Solarflare Communications, the leader in standards-compliant 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) silicon, will demonstrate the latest in high-performance 10GBASE-T technology optimized for the most advanced networking applications at Interop Las Vegas, April 27 - May 2, 2008, in booth #2459. Solarflare will also be present in industry-partner booths Citrix, the Ethernet Alliance, Ixia, PANDUIT, SMC and VMware.

With the industry's first public demo of Microsoft's Hyper V virtual OS and support for both VMware ESX and Citrix XenEnterprise virtualization platforms, Solarflare is the first company to support all three of the major virtual operating systems. Solarflare's 10GBASE-T demonstrations prove enterprises and data centers can easily upgrade to 10 Gigabits per second (Gb/s) over their existing infrastructures and deliver on ever-increasing business bandwidth demands, especially in a virtualized environment. Working with key industry partners, Solarflare is proving that 10G networking is ready for implementation and deployment.

"Enterprises and data centers are in need of cost-effective solutions that provide high-performance services," said Bruce Tolley, vice president of marketing at Solarflare. "With our partners we are demonstrating virtualization acceleration at line rate to support iSCSI storage and other bandwidth intensive applications such as video capture and playback. These product demonstrations show that our optimized 10 Gigabit Ethernet technology delivers true performance for real-world environments, all over 10GBASE-T."
