Voltaire launches high density switch for cloud computing - Network Accessories

Voltaire has launched a new high-performance switch for use in cloud computing applications, designed to save space and boost data centre efficiency.

The Voltaire Vantage 6048 top-of-rack switch has 48 separate ports of ten gigabit ethernet connectivity.

According to the manufacturer it also offers more CEE-compliant features than any other cloud computing switch on the market.

The device can be used with Voltaire's UFM software to enable virtual machine connectivity and mobility.

Asaf Somekh, vice president of marketing at Voltaire, explained: "Businesses relying on cloud architectures can attain a standard-based, modular infrastructure that can scale linearly from a single server rack to hundreds of racks with the same hardware and software building blocks."

The Vantage 6048 switch will be showcased at the VMworld exhibition in San Francisco, which is being held between August 30th and September 2nd.

Last month, Voltaire announced year-on-year revenue growth of 54 per cent for the second quarter of 2010.
