Level 5 Networks to Discuss the Future of Accelerated Ethernet at Network Systems Design Conference 2005

Posted on: Monday, 10 October 2005, 15:01 CDT

Level 5 Networks:

WHAT: Steve Pope, PhD, founder, CTO and vice president software architecture for Level 5 Networks, a leading developer of high-speed server interconnect solutions, will be presenting at Network Systems Design Conference 2005 in a session entitled, "Server Connectivity-Beyond The Basic NIC." Dr. Pope will outline Level 5 Network's approach to accelerating data center networking at the application level and will show how EtherFabric improves performance while maintaining binary compatibility with existing applications, control plane and management software. By bringing such remarkable performance improvements to data centers, EtherFabric enables businesses to speed time to productivity and reduce the number of necessary servers, therefore reducing related enterprise operational costs, real estate and power and cooling costs. WHY: Industries across the board are increasingly relying on compute-heavy tasks, from rapid customer facing web transactions to genome simulations that require millions of calculations. Such a heavy workload has taken its toll on today's networks, bogging down Ethernet connections, causing adapter architectures to become a performance bottleneck. To address this problem, Level 5 Networks developed EtherFabric, created to be the low-risk way to accelerating Ethernet connections. WHERE: Session 221: Server Connectivity-Beyond The Basic NIC "EtherFabric: Accelerating Applications Over Ethernet" Tuesday, October 18, 2005 1:30 p.m. - 3:15 p.m. PDT Parkside Hall, San Jose, California
