Voltaire switches accelerate more than half of all InfiniBand deployments on new TOP500 List
Portland 18 November 2009 Voltaire Ltd.'s switches continue to power more than 50 percent of the InfiniBand deployments, more than double the share of any other InfiniBand systems vendor, on the 34th edition of the TOP500 list of the world's most powerful supercomputers. With 181 sites, InfiniBand interconnect technology continues to increase share on the TOP500 list at the expense of Gigabit Ethernet.

Voltaire 20 and 40 Gb/s InfiniBand switches provide the high performance interconnect for both the world's top research institutions on the list, as well as for commercial and industrial customers who rely on HPC technologies to run their businesses. Voltaire switches accelerate 20 of the Top 100 systems - including 2 of the Top 5 - and also comprise the high-performance fabrics for 90 percent of the commercial sites that use InfiniBand. Voltaire switches are used in 40 new entries on the list since June 2009.

"Voltaire is known for delivering high performance, scale-out fabrics to the world's largest supercomputers and to the data centres of the world's largest corporations", stated Asaf Somekh, vice president of marketing, Voltaire.
