Fater Pipes for the Enterprise:

Proposed Next Generation Server I/O Standard To Get Faster

Backers of an Intel-supported standard for Next Generation I/O
(NGIO) for servers said this week they plan to rev up the speed
of their new technology.

The NGIO Forum, which is composed of about 60 companies,
including Intel, Sun Microsystems and Dell Computer, said that
it plans a "Fat Pipe" version of its NGIO switched fabric I/O
architecture, due out by the end of the year, to run at 25- to
250-gigabits-per-second in each direction.

The NGIO Forum is releasing the first generation of its
specification today, for a switched-fabric architecture running
at 2.5-gigabits-per-second per channel in each direction.

I/O devices such as storage and networking cards that take
advantage of the first-generation NGIO spec will probably ship
by the end of next year, said Charles Andres, chairman of the
marketing workgroup of NGIO Forum and group manager of
I/O technologies at Sun Microsystems. Andres declined to
comment on when Fat Pipe devices will likely ship. -- Mitch
