Topspin Communications

Topspin delivers a programmable server switch that provides the foundation for a new data center computing model. The Topspin Server Switch enables industry-standard server, storage, and networking resources to be rapidly deployed on-demand to match the dynamic needs of business applications. Server switching is the intelligent interconnect between the server, storage, and networking resources that makes this new computing model possible. The Topspin Server Switch consists of a multi-terabit high-bandwidth, low-latency interconnect fabric that allows virtual computer elements to be dynamically assembled, and an intelligent control architecture for implementing application-to-resource provisioning, high availability, and security policy.

Whether building high-performance computing clusters out of low-cost building blocks, enabling distributed database scalability, eliminating server-to-storage bottlenecks, or building an on-demand, utility computing model, Topspin delivers a compelling return on investment by improving server and network utilization, promoting resource flexibility, and dramatically reducing equipment and management costs.
