  2. The Ethernet ecosystem has always evolved to address the needs of the user community. It always rises to the challenge of other technologies. Ethernet is Dead: The Series Episode I: The Lord of the Ring • Token Ring Episode II: Return to the Disk • Fibre Channel Episode III: The Empire Strikes Back • ATM to the Desktop Episode IV: The Rise of the “S” (serial, speed, scalable) • Infiniband as the ubiquitous interconnect Episode V:The Net Who Would be King • Myrinet, Quadrics, Infiniband • TOE, RDMA/IP

  3. Lower Latency by reducing time spent on System Calls 1400 1200 1000 CPU Cycles 800 600 400 200 0 TCP/IP Processing System Call Ethernet: Will our Hero Survive? Ethernet is evolving again • Higher Bandwidth – 10GigE • Lower Latency • Lower latency NICs & • Host-side improvements. • Improved Switching Infrastructure • Need low-cost, low-latency switches. • Likely to arrive in the blade environment before we see them elsewhere.

  4. Ethernet: The Precision I/O Contribution • Extend the life and investment of existing GigE networks • Software only solution significantly increases GigE performance today • Available for Beta testing today!!! • Transparently & dramatically increases server application capacity • Higher I/O throughput • Improved CPU utilization / Higher transaction capacity • Lower latency • Non-disruptive migration path to future 10GigE networks • 10GigE HW/SW solution available soon • Only required on one end of the connection - no client changes • Supports incremental deployment - one server at a time • No new fabric, protocols, packet formats, or infrastructure required • No application or operating system changes required
