Fujitsu to Deploy Neterion for 10 Gigabit Ethernet in SPARC Enterprise Servers

Neterion, Inc., a developer of 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) adapters for server and storage environments, announced an OEM agreement with Fujitsu Limited, to supply Neterion's third generation 10 GbE adapters for Fujitsu SPARC-based servers.

The 10 GbE adapter option is now available to the general public on Fujitsu SPARC Enterprise servers.

With the addition of 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Fujitsu sharpens its offering for the enterprise and range of applications. Large scale deployments of network-distributed processing will require high bandwidth and ultra-low latency, two domains where 10 GbE excels.

Neterion's 10 GbE adapters were qualified across the entire line of Fujitsu SPARC Enterprise servers running the Solaris 10 operating system, while supporting networking features such as remote boot.

"The Fujitsu SPARC Enterprise family serves the needs of our most demanding enterprise customers, who require the highest reliability and performance for their mission critical applications," said Kenichi Sakai, General Manager, Mission Critical Server Division of Fujitsu. "Neterion's 10 Gigabit Ethernet technology offers a connectivity solution, and is ready to meet the increasing demand for a competitive edge in an always-connected world."

HHT is a Japanese sales effort for Neterion. Since signing an agreement in February 2005, HHT has been the exclusive distributor for the Neterion family of 10 GbE controllers in Japan. HHT is a global company with 22 offices in Japan and 77 offices outside of Japan in twenty-four countries.

Fujitsu is a provider of IT-based business solutions for the global marketplace.
