Originally developed for use in financial services, Voltaire’s high-performance switches and InfiniBand technology can help VARs bring increased networking speed and power to customers looking for an edge over their competition.
Voltaire’s Grid Director is a high-bandwidth, low-latency switch based on the InfiniBand standard. It can be used to create high-performance computing clusters from industry-standard hardware, says Patrick Guay, senior vice president of marketing at Voltaire.
The company also manufactures Fibre Channel and Ethernet switches, and recently announced Voltaire Messaging Accelerator (VMA), which improves the performance of any application that needs high packets-per-second rates, low latency, low CPU utilization and increased scalability, Guay says.
“Voltaire technology and the VMA has a wide-array of uses including medical imaging systems, radar and other defense systems, as well as for market data applications in the financial services industry,” Guay says.
