Voltaire Ltd. (NASDAQ: VOLT), a leading provider of scale-out
data center fabrics, announced that its InfiniBand switches are
powering 24 of China’s TOP100 High Performance Computers, including
the top three — at the Tianjin Supercomputing Center, the Shanghai
Supercomputer Center and the Computer Network Information Center at
the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The switches are being used in 65
percent of the total InfiniBand deployments noted on the list, more
than any other InfiniBand systems vendor.
“Our main mission is to drive scientific innovation and
advancement in industry by applying leading-edge supercomputing
technologies,” said Yuqi Wei, manager, technical support
department, Shanghai Supercomputer Center. “The Voltaire InfiniBand
switches are integral for enabling the high performance, efficiency
and stability of our 30,000-plus cores supercomputer.”
“This report confirms our strong position in China, an important
market for future growth,” said Asaf Somekh, vice president of
marketing, Voltaire. “Our expertise and innovation have made us the
clear choice for InfiniBand switch deployments. Major research
organizations, as well as commercial enterprises, rely on
Voltaire’s InfiniBand technology to meet their high-performance
requirements while increasing efficiency and consolidating their
infrastructures.”
“Another interesting data point from the China TOP100, is that
Voltaire switches are used as the interconnect fabric for 88.5% of
the processing power (in teraFLOPS) of all the InfiniBand sites on
list,” Somekh added.
Voltaire’s 20 and 40 Gb/s InfiniBand switches provide the
high-performance interconnect for the world’s largest computing
systems and scale-out data centers. The switches accelerate
mission-critical applications, and enable faster data sharing among
storage and server networks.
In November 2009, Voltaire also announced that according to the
34th edition of the TOP500 list of the world’s most powerful
supercomputers, its switches power more than 50 percent of
the InfiniBand deployments — more than double the share of any
other InfiniBand systems vendor.
