InfiniCon Systems Rebrands As SilverStorm Technologies; New Business Initiatives Focused on High Performance Business Computing Market

Posted on: Wednesday, 18 May 2005, 09:00 CDT

SilverStorm Technologies(TM), Inc., formerly InfiniCon Systems, Inc., today announced a name change aimed at emphasizing the company's focus on providing networking solutions to serve the needs of the global high performance business computing market. In connection with these strategic changes, the company has also changed its website to www.SilverStorm.com.

"The new realities of our customers' vertical applications and increasingly global nature of our customer base - especially in the Asian and European markets - have changed the way we look at the business," said SilverStorm CEO Russ Hawkins. "Since the introduction of InfiniBand technology in 2000, we have evolved from a technology company in a nascent industry, into a true solution provider for high performance, end-to-end networking. The changes in our strategy support our goal to be as innovative and flexible as possible in addressing the needs of our customers, and also reflect our intention to be a lot more than just an 'IB' vendor."

Faster Time to Results for High Performance Business Computing

The only vendor with proven, production-ready offerings for high performance Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X, and Windows environments, and partnership programs with the leading ISVs in its key vertical markets, SilverStorm's end-to-end networking solutions enable faster time to results for computationally intensive problems in diverse fields including oil and gas exploration, automotive and aerospace design, financial analysis, biosciences, and many others. SilverStorm also powers some of the world's largest clusters - including one of the world's largest Linux clusters at RIKEN.

"We selected SilverStorm as our high performance networking partner because their architecture and solutions allow us to take our substantial cluster infrastructure to the next generation," said Peter Harris, Manager of the advanced systems group at Veritas DGC. "We were impressed with SilverStorm's depth of understanding of our problems and the completeness of their solutions."

Complete Solutions for Business Computing Environments

Providing networking solutions for grid, cluster, and bladeserver environments, SilverStorm's enterprise-class products and global datacenter oriented services have enabled the company to capture key global Fortune 500 customers, including Toyota, Boeing, Veritas DGC, and Chevron.

"After working with SilverStorm Technologies and using their products, we feel that SilverStorm's products have powerful reliability and scalability," stated Dr. Xu Yong, of the High Performance Computing Center at Beijing Institute of Technology. "At the same time, SilverStorm's local support is very professional. SilverStorm was very cooperative and their technical support eliminated our risk in choosing a new technology."
