PLX Technology to Demo Solutions at Intel Developers Forum

PLX Technology, a global supplier of silicon and software solutions for enterprise and consumer markets, announced a combined demonstration plan of its products at the upcoming Intel Developers Forum (IDF), Sept. 22-24.

PLX said it will demo an enterprise usage model of its latest PCI Express (PCIe) 2.0 switches and merge it with several new consumer applications by using its network attached storage (NAS) devices, thus showcasing the convergence of the connected world.

The PCIe element of the demonstration will highlight a PLX PEX 8696 PCIe Gen 2 switch supporting multi-host/multi-root connectivity by having two computers communicate simultaneously through a single switch posing as two different systems. At the same time, a separate PLX PEX 8609 switch will demonstrate non-transparency (NT) capability, a PLX-exclusive feature, by having the two PCs be able to send messages through the NT port of the switch.

IDF 2009 will be held in San Francisco at the Moscone Center West.
