Woven Systems Wins HPCWire Editors' Choice Award for Most Important HPC Network Technology
Provider of Industry's First Massively Scalable Ethernet Fabric Switching Solutions Awarded for Active Congestion Management Breakthrough
Unprecedented Number of HPCwire Readers and Editors Worldwide Voted to Select This Year's Winners
Reno, NV - November 13, 2007 - Woven Systems™, Inc., the leading innovator of Ethernet Fabric switching solutions for data centers and high-performance computing clusters, today announced it has been named as a winner of the annual HPCwire Readers' and Editors' Choice Awards, presented at SC07, the 2007 International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis located here.
Woven Systems is the winner of the Editors' Choice Award for "Most Important HPC Networking Product or Technology" for its Active Congestion Management technology. The company's EFX 1000, 10 Gigabit Ethernet Fabric Switch architecture incorporates patented vSCALE™ packet processing technology with Active Congestion Management. It supports latency-minimizing routing algorithms to detect interconnect bottlenecks and automatically balance traffic flows across a multi-path mesh fabric. Woven 10 GE fabrics deliver consistent low-latency and high throughput without the need to manually re-tune the fabric for different application work loads. As a result, HPC users can more quickly deploy new applications and more effectively utilize expensive compute cluster resources.
"We are honored to have the Woven Systems 10 Gigabit Ethernet Fabric switching solution recognized as one of the most important HPC networking technologies by one of the leading authorities in the industry," said Derek Granath, vice president of marketing with Woven Systems. "This award is especially important since our Active Congestion Management technology is being acknowledged by highly knowledgeable members of the HPC community."
The coveted HPCwire Readers' and Editors' Choice Awards are determined through online polling of the global HPCwire audience, along with a rigorous selection process involving HPCwire editors and industry luminaries. The awards are an annual feature of the publication and constitute prestigious recognition from the HPC community. The 2007 Readers' Choice awards generated a record number of responses from the several hundred thousand readers who access HPCwire each week.
"It's our distinct honor to be able to collect and articulate the perceptions of our global readers in order to recognize the accomplishments that are being made in advancing high productivity computing," said Diane Lieberman, publisher of HPCwire. "These industry awards send a strong message to the recipients that those in the global HPC community recognize their work, and consider their efforts meritorious. Our congratulations go out to all the winners." More information on these awards can be found at the HPCwire website (http://www.HPCwire.com).
