BILLERICA, Mass. & HERZELIYA, Israel–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Voltaire Ltd. (NASDAQ: VOLT), a leading provider of grid backbone solutions, today announced that JPMorgan Chase (JPMC) has selected and deployed Voltaire InfiniBand-based Grid Backboneâ„¢ solutions for a unified data center fabric. By using Voltaire solutions, JPMC is able to use a new computing architecture that accelerates performance of their applications while significantly reducing overall data center costs.

“As part of our new compute backbone architecture, Voltaire’s InfiniBand-based solutions enable us to deliver large quantities of computing horsepower to multiple applications across different lines of business in a highly efficient manner that significantly reduces our capital equipment costs,” said Cory Shull, Vice President of Investment Architecture, JPMC. “InfiniBand enables a new class of IT infrastructure that will evolve our data centers from application-based silos to unified fabrics that allow for greater agility and utilization while improving the bottom line.”

Unified fabrics provide seamless, high performance networking services between InfiniBand fabrics, Fibre Channel SANs and Ethernet LANs over a single high performance fabric with multiple virtual interfaces replacing actual physical adapters. Voltaire’s Grid Director™ switches enable unified fabrics for the next generation data center by addressing all three types of networking traffic within a single chassis.

Very cool, there’s been a lot of talk about the Infiniband value proposition, is it Infiniband or 10GB Ethernet that I should be looking at? Do I need that much connectivity? Infiniband can be a very effective tool in grid solutions where communication between the grid engines is important, particularly in those data caching, high performance computing solutions – pricing on demand for your risk platforms?
