SAN JOSE, Calif. and SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 18, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bell Microproducts Inc. (Pink Sheets:BELM)one of the world’s largest value-added distributors of storage and computing technology, and BLADE Network Technologies, Inc. (BLADE), the trusted leader in data center networking, announced today that Bell Microproducts (Bell Micro) will distribute BLADE’s 10 Gigabit Ethernet RackSwitch(tm) product family in North America.

According to a recent report by Dell’Oro Group, 10 Gigabit Ethernet in the data center is a “bright spot” in the Ethernet switch market, with significant new product introductions helping to propel 10 Gigabit Ethernet growth as those products begin to ramp in 2009. (See: “Ecosystem in Place for Strong 10 Gigabit Ethernet Server Adoption” and “10 Gigabit Ethernet in the Data Center a Bright Spot.”)

It will be interesting to see how blade servers as a platform might further the move towards 10GB Ethernet, anything the vendors can do to improve the availability, functionality and affordability of 10GB Ethernet has to be a good thing.
