One Stop Systems Announces SuperSwitch 3™ for High-Speed Networking
- Network six to eight PCs enabling data transfers at speeds up to 20Gb/s
One Stop Systems, a global provider in industrial-grade computing systems and components, today introduces SuperSwitch 3™, an industry-first PCI Express-over-cable networking solution for six to eight PCs, providing data transfers at speeds up to 20Gb/s. SuperSwitch 3™ enables any combination of CPUs and I/O devices to be connected, using one 8-port 1U switch, one PCI Express (PCIe) x4 host adapter, an Express Card or a CompactPCI Express (CPCIe) host adapter, up to 7 PCIe host cable adapters and up to 8 PCIe cables.
SuperSwitch 3™ is being released for Linux and Windows operating systems. The high-speed solution is suitable for applications such as medical imaging, server farms, instrumentation, video and other applications requiring large amounts of data transfers from one processor to another.
One Stop Systems’ exclusive ExpressNet™ software suite allows direct data transfers as well as TCP/IP transfers between multiple processors. The software drivers initialize memory address translation registers in the non-transparent bridge components that allow data to be transferred from one CPU’s memory to another. With TCP/IP added, the interface is identical to a normal Ethernet port, except much faster. In addition to driver support, ExpressNet software handles hot-swap events and other networking functions.
"PCI Express over cable offers many advantages – low costs, high bandwidth and software transparency," said Steve Cooper, president of One Stop Systems. “Ethernet and Infiniband options cost as much as four-to-five times that of One Stop Systems' PCIe solutions. SuperSwitch will soon become an industry standard for point-to-point communication.”
SuperSwitch 3™ is currently available. If you need to connect six processors, order Part #OSS-SS3-6-2m which lists for $8,213.00. To connect seven processors, order Part #OSS-SS3-7-2m for $8,969.00. To connect eight processors, order Part #OSS-SS3-8-2m for $9,725.00.
