Agilent Technologies and RedSwitch have unveiled the first InfiniBand switch product to result from their design collaboration.
The new transceiver is "hot-pluggable," meaning it can be inserted or removed from a board without removing power.
This benefit is critical to SAN switch environments that cannot afford system downtime for online transaction processing applications.
Agilent customers now have the ability to add fibre-optic ports, replace fibre-optic transceivers, and scale their systems when needed without interrupting network services.
Additionally, this helps to reduce inventory costs by allowing units to be stocked without optical transceivers.
