  6. Voltaire Products Summary Grid Directors • ISR 9096 - 96 4X (DDR or SDR) or 32 12X ports • ISR 9288 – 288 4X (DDR or SDR) or 96 12X ports • Copper and optical support • Integrated GbE and/or FC ports (up to 144) • Full redundancy (PS, FAN, Fabric, Management, ..) Blade Solutions • High performance blade solutions for IBM BladeCenterH Voltaire ISR 9288 Voltaire ISR 9096 Blade Server Connectivity Solutions

  7. Voltaire Products Summary ISR 9024 Grid switches • ISR 9024 - 24 port IB (SDR and DDR) • ISR 6000 - Multi-Protocol (IP / FC / IB) Management & Virtualization • Embedded in switches • Highly scalable Grid management Host software • Unique High-Performance offeringsfor HPC, Financials, and Storage ISR 6000 GridVision™ Management Suite

  8. Voltaire Top500 Leadership • Largest number of Top500 InfiniBand sites • Broadest and Strongest Channels • Joint Installations with 7 OEMs and Resellers • Top InfiniBand Site: NASA Ames #4 • Most network-efficient InfiniBand site • Number of InfiniBand sites doubled from previous list, tripled in a year • Proprietary interconnects keep going down • GbE pushed lower on the list

  9.

  10. Multi-Protocol Switching Same Switch, Multiple Protocol and I/F Combinations

  11. Voltaire IP Router Unique CapabilitiesHardware Configuration and Chassis Management • ISR 9096/9288, as well as ISR 6000 chassis are supported • sRBD is required for holding up to 3 routers (any mix) • sRBD-D is required for DDR configurations, although the IPR is an SDR device • Copper as well as optic-fiber SFPs are supported • IPRs are provided with 4 copper SFPs by default (included in price) • Cluster mode is supported (multiple devices per chassis, any mix) • Voltaire unique InfiniBand-Ethernet Silicon • Link aggregation

  12. Voltaire IP Router Unique CapabilitiesNetworking Management • Centralized management – single point representation • Feedback from the field leads to an improved mechanism - in development • CLI and GUI based management support • Including full TFM (Traffic Flow Management) and partitioning support • Click on Routers launches their VDM • Automated configuration and application transparency by cluster learning and ARP Proxy • Monitoring - management access to programmable hardware classification counters (CLI)
