"Our telecom customers can take advantage of the best from the worlds of IT and telecom. By using the IBM BladeCenter, our customers can take full advantage of the density of blade solutions with standard PCIe I/O cards."
— Chris Pettey, CTO and Co-founder, NextIO
Today's telecom service providers are faced with the ever-increasing requirements for higher bandwidth — and I/O throughput — that integrated data, voice and video applications demand.
As telecom service providers migrate to an all IP-based, Next-Generation Network (NGN) infrastructure, many are moving away from single-function appliances in order to consolidate disparate functions into a single integrated open platform.
NextIO's ExpressConnect™ N1400 -PCM High Speed Switch Module and the N2800-ICA (I/O Consolidation Appliance), use PCI Express (PCIe) as a transport medium, are ideal for dense computing applications on the IBM BladeCenter and require no new software or protocols.
The ExpressConnect family of I/O Gateway products provide end-to-end connectivity that enable seamless I/O integration and expansion to all standard industry endpoints (or devices) with industry standard drivers.
NextIO ExpressConnect family provides high-density PCI Express connectivity options for the IBM BladeCenter family.
NextIO ExpressConnect can be deployed as an I/O Consolidation Appliance for the rack or as a high-speed switch module for the IBM BladeCenter H and HT chassis.
