Vcinity Expands Ultimate X Technology for Unleashing Access to Remote Data

Vcinity Inc. announced its expanded global fabric extension technology that is a fundamental building block for the Ultimate X (ULT X) family of products.

These products enable access to data assets across global – and even satellite distances – as if they were local and deliver unprecedented flexibility and scalability for customers.

“We are excited to offer a groundbreaking product to our customers, particularly those in the HPC and Media and Entertainment market segments,” said Noboru Aoki, strategic marketing manager, Core Microsystems Co., Ltd., a provider of advanced storage solutions and international reseller partner for the company. “For our media and entertainment clients, the Vcinity Ultimate X solution allows video producers to edit remote content across any distance as if it were local to their desktop. Editors are no longer required to replicate content at multiple locations, avoiding redundant copies of the content, leading to dramatic storage efficiencies as well as improved control and security.“

The fabric extension technology supports IB and RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) in excess of 100Gb/s and enables a data fabric transparent to virtually any application. The technology is transforming business operations for data-intensive applications across the financial services, oil and gas, media and entertainment, life sciences and government markets.

“Data has tremendous implications on the economy of enterprise IT, even beyond the network, storage, and compute stack,” said Russel Davis, CTO and COO, Vcinity. “Our technology has shattered the mold of data-access – we extend RDMA over global distances, so users can remotely access, manage and manipulate large datasets. For customers and partners like Core Microsystems, we develop technology to support digital transformation efforts for organizations while recognizing that data is the new currency in business.“

• The RAD X-1010e is a lower density variant in a compact, half size PCI-e (PCIe gen 3) card with 2×1/10GE WAN interfaces. The RAD X-1010e, along with the ULT X software, is available for partners worldwide for integration into their data-centric solutions or through purchase of the ULT X-1000e turnkey configuration.

• The RAD X-1100 provides scalability of the firm’s global fabric extension capabilities with three pluggable interface modules of up to 120Gb/s capacity each – supporting various interface configurations including EDR IB and up to 100G RoCE.- in a 1RU form factor. This enables ULT X deployments in high density and scalable environments such as data centers, large enterprises and HPC centers.
