2 feldy@precisionio.com www.precisionio.com 2 Ethernet is Dead: The Series Episode I: The Lord of the Ring  Token Ring Episode II: Return to the Disk  Fibre Channel Episode III: The Empire Strikes Back  ATM to the Desktop Episode IV: The Rise of the “S” (serial, speed, scalable)  Infiniband as the ubiquitous interconnect Episode V: The Net Who Would be King  Myrinet, Quadrics, Infiniband  TOE, RDMA/IP The Ethernet ecosystem has always evolved to address the needs of the user community. It always rises to the challenge of other technologies.

Likely to arrive in the blade environment before we see them elsewhere. Ethernet: Will our Hero Survive?

4 feldy@precisionio.com www.precisionio.com 4 Ethernet: The Precision I/O Contribution Extend the life and investment of existing GigE networks  Software only solution significantly increases GigE performance today  Available for Beta testing today!!! Transparently & dramatically increases server application capacity  Higher I/O throughput  Improved CPU utilization / Higher transaction capacity  Lower latency Non-disruptive migration path to future 10GigE networks  10GigE HW/SW solution available soon  Only required on one end of the connection - no client changes  Supports incremental deployment - one server at a time No new fabric, protocols, packet formats, or infrastructure required No application or operating system changes required
