CUPERTINO, Calif. & TOKYO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Neterion, Inc., the industry pioneer of I/O Virtualization (IOV) in 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) adapters for server and storage environments, and its exclusive partner in Japan, Hitachi High-Technologies (HHT), the leading Japanese distributor of technology-based products, announced that they will supply the Hitachi BladeSymphony 2000 line of servers with its third generation I/O Virtualized 10 GbE adapter. The option is available to the general public immediately, across all geographies.

The BladeSymphony 2000 is Hitachi’s most advanced blade architecture so far, with world-class reliability features, designed for mission critical applications. The new high-end, enterprise blade system features dual-socketed Intel® Xeon® Processor 5500 Series, which have been created using Intel’s CPU microarchitecture codenamed Nehalem. Its high-density design hosts up to 8 blades and 16 I/O slots in a 10U chassis. A high-bandwidth, hybrid I/O subsystem leverages both industry-standard PCIe Gen2.0 slots and integrated switches, allowing configurations to share a common switching infrastructure and unique I/O interfaces per blade, enabling the most I/O-intensive workloads and consolidation through virtualization.

Furthering the possibilities of connectivity for the Hitachi Blade offering has to be a good thing for the end user community in terms of choice and competition. I’m off to check it out.
