Boston Limited, now in its 19th year as manufacturing partner for Super Micro Computer®, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI), is proud to announce an integration and distribution partnership with Solarflare, leading provider of application-intelligent networking I/O products, to deliver fully-integrated solutions that will address enterprises' growing workloads and network demands.
Boston, leading providers of high performance, power optimised server and storage solutions, are now incorporating Solarflare's application-intelligent 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) server adapters in order to offer an optimal performing solution, reaching customers in scale-out computing environments such as HFT, HPC, Cloud and big data applications.
Designed to support high-performance, low-latency, cut-through application performance, Solarflare's 10GbE adapter solutions dramatically improve network I/O performance. Their industry-leading networking hardware and software provides a flexible and direct model for accelerating applications, while maintaining support for network and operating system functions. Its new family of 10GbE mezzanine adapters reduces complexity and increases performance of high-density blade server environments. The company's updated OpenOnload® middleware is specifically designed for high-performance networks and bypasses the OS kernel, enabling applications to increase their network load, thereby increasing performance and lowering application latency.
"Boston are delighted to implement Solarflare's 10GbE server adapters into our solutions, providing optimal speed and dramatically improved network I/O performance for customers in the financial and HPC arenas," said Ian Mellett, Business Development Manager EMEA and Asia, Boston Limited. "Solarflare's application-intelligent 10GbE networking solutions align perfectly with our high-performance server and storage offerings; enabling us to address the growing data demands across high-performance networks and deliver increased performance for scale-out computing environments."
"The availability of high-performance servers, low latency 10GbE switches and scale-out storage are driving the trend toward the adoption of 10 Gigabit Ethernet in high performance computing, big data, virtualization and other scale-out compute applications," said Peter Jones, Managing Director of International Sales and Channels, Solarflare. "Solarflare's 10GbE hardware and software solutions are uniquely designed to handle the server I/O network requirements scale out compute apps such as big data and unlock the power of multi-socket, multi-core servers. Our partnership with Boston is a significant milestone because of their reach in the United Kingdom and throughout Europe and Asia, delivering high performance solutions into the HPC, service provider and military segments worldwide."
