Leading monitoring solution keeps pace with industry desire to deploy higher speed InfiniBand(TM) solutions
AUCKLAND, New Zealand, Nov. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Supercomputing 08 (Austin, TX, Booth #308) -- Endace Limited (LSE/AIM: EDA), a world leader in network monitoring solutions, today announced at Supercomputing 08, the availability of a complete monitoring solution for InfiniBand DDR (dual data rate) fabrics. With Dual Data Rate now the interconnect of choice for high performance compute clusters (DDR connections run at 20 Gb/s, double the rate offered by InfiniBand SDR or 10G Ethernet), Endace is delivering the first monitoring solution capable of fully analyzing the interconnect performance of these low latency, massively parallel computing environments.
Endace also announced that it has been welcomed into the HPC (High Performance Computing) track of the QLogic NETTrack Alliance program. QLogic (Nasdaq: QLGC) is a leading supplier of high performance clustering and storage networking solutions, which include the host adapters and InfiniBand switches that are used by major corporations and government facilities. "Endace has carved out a unique position in the world of InfiniBand monitoring," said Joseph Kimpler, Director of Alliances at QLogic. "We are pleased that Endace will join QLogic and other partners in certifying interoperability and optimizing the performance of HPC solutions."
InfiniBand vendors have continually been challenged to provide the same level of monitoring solutions that typically accompany Ethernet roll-outs. Until the launch of the Endace InfiniBand tap matrix, no solutions were available that could tap InfiniBand links without impacting network performance. Endace previously met this need with a suite of products that included the tap matrix, a data capture appliance and InfiniBand plug-ins for the popular Wireshark(R) protocol analyzer. Endace solutions now scale to DDR rates that meet the combined thirst for bandwidth and low latency that InfiniBand can satisfy.
"The Endace InfiniBand Tap Matrix and NinjaProbe solutions are recognized as perhaps the only way of passively analyzing traffic flow and link latency in InfiniBand clusters," noted Stephen Gleave, VP Marketing at Endace. "We have developed this DDR solution in direct response to demand from existing customers and to help monitor the deployments of our leading InfiniBand partners. We are pleased to add QLogic to this list of elite HPC suppliers."
Endace will be exhibiting at Supercomputing 2008 in Austin, Texas, November 18th to 20th; booth #308.
