Vendors Selected for the 'Cool Vendor' Report Are Innovative, Impactful and
Intriguing
SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Woven Systems(TM), Inc.,
the leading innovator of Ethernet fabric solutions, has been included in
the list of "Cool Vendors" in the March 2007 "Cool Vendors in Enterprise
Communications 2007" report, written by Mark Fabbi, Vice President and
Distinguished Analyst at Gartner, Inc.
The Woven solutions are uniquely designed for server and storage
interconnect in HPC clusters, Internet and Enterprise data centers, and IP
storage environments. The limitations of current offerings --
InfiniBand(TM), Fibre Channel, and conventional Ethernet solutions -- are
easily resolved with the Woven EFX 1000 Ethernet Fabric switch. Setting a
new standard, Woven ensures that the performance, availability, and
integrity of the data center are optimized. With up to 144 10 Gigabit
Ethernet (GE) ports, the EFX 1000 offers massive scalability,
interoperability, and the familiarity of Ethernet. The Woven vSCALE(TM)
packet processing technology efficiently manages the distribution of
traffic through a multi-path meshed Ethernet fabric. Woven's implementation
of latency-optimized routing with real-time Active Congestion Management
delivers the highest levels of application performance in high end data
center environments, while removing capacity bottlenecks with its
non-blocking fabric capabilities. With the highest number of 10 GE ports
per chassis at 1/5th the cost, 1/5th the rack space and 1/5th the power
consumption of alternative systems, Woven delivers the lowest total cost of
ownership in the market today.
"We believe Woven's 'Cool Vendor' status provides a compelling argument
for adopting 10 GE to meet today's network requirements and bandwidth
challenges," said president and CEO Harry Quackenboss. "We are pleased that
Gartner has analyzed Woven as a supplier that is focused on a new approach
to building all-Ethernet data centers."
Woven Systems is being mentioned as a "Cool Vendor" at this week's
Gartner Symposium ITxpo 2007 in San Francisco, California.
