From the archives. QLGC may have a better roadmap than BRCD.... Nortel Networks Joins InfiniBand(SM) Trade Association to Develop New World Server Architecture Nortel Networks' optical networking expertise compliments computing giants in newly-created trade association RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. -- Nortel Networks* [NYSE/TSE: NT] has been named as a Sponsoring Member of the InfiniBand(SM) Trade Association-a consortium of industry-leading computing and networking companies. The InfiniBand Trade Association is creating new, robust server architectures and standards that are needed to bring high-bandwidth applications to Internet users. Nortel Networks' Sponsoring Membership augments the founding member ranks of Compaq, Dell, Hewlett-Packard Company, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, and Sun Microsystems. As the industry leader in optical networking, Nortel Networks will further the trade association's efforts to develop data center architectures that eliminate bottlenecks caused by current router networks. Nortel Networks will work to bring the power of the Optical Internet directly to the data center-unifying optical and packet networks into one powerful infrastructure capable of carrying all types of traffic. "We are creating a new world of carrier-class optical data centers featuring high-bandwidth, reliable, secure optical networking with intelligent traffic control and optical-server integration," said Irving Ebert, vice president strategies and alliances, Nortel Networks. "This will allow servers hosting powerful new web-based applications to seamlessly access the full capabilities of the Optical Internet." "The InfiniBand Trade Association is drawing from a wide range of industry leaders-from chip and system manufacturers, to applications developers, to networking leaders like Nortel Networks," said Tom Bradicich, co-chair of the InfiniBand Trade Association Steering Committee and director of architecture and technology, IBM Netfinity Servers. "Together we are architecting technology standards that will forever change computing-and speed the delivery of high-performance Internet and other services to business and consumers." Nortel Networks is leading the Internet revolution with optical networking products that double the capacity of fiber optics and halve networking costs every nine months. Earlier in October, Nortel Networks debuted Optical Internet capabilities to carry up to 6.4 Terabits per second (Tbps) of Internet and other traffic over a single, hair-thin strand of fiber. Nortel Networks is a global leader in telephony, data, wireless and wireline solutions for the Internet. The Company had 1998 revenues of US$17.6 billion and serves carrier, service provider and enterprise customers globally. Today, Nortel Networks is creating a high-performance Internet that is more reliable and faster than ever before.
