1st Google investor launches 10Gig revolution with Khipu
Arista 10 Gig Switches from Khipu Networks Disrupt Current thinking – Just like Google did . . . .
Fleet, Hampshire UK, July 15th, 2009 – Khipu Networks, one the leading advanced system integration companies in the UK, Today announced they have partnered with Arista Networks to introduce the worlds leading next generation 10Gb switches to the UK market.
- Lowest latency
- Lowest cost per port
- Lowest space requirements
- Lowest power consumption
- Fastest evolution from 1G to 10G
- Highest performance
Google has changed the landscape of Search – and more latterly cloud based services & collaborative working. And with the announcement this week of a GOOGLE OPERATING SYSTEM for so called ‘NET BOOKS’ and other hand held devices, the scene is set for even more consolidation to highly robust, super fast hosting centre’s, virtualistion and SAAS – where all the apps are held centrally and access is accelerated over low latency, highly available and scalable connections.
Anticipating this trend, Andy Bechtolsheim, founder of ARISTA NETWORKS and the first investor in Google, aims to disrupt the current thinking on building the network infrastructures upon which these services sit by radically changing the way switching is built and delivered. And much like GOOGLE, where the emphasis was on speed and accuracy, this switch revolution bears many of the same ‘lowest, fastest, highest’ attributes:-
- Lowest cost per port 30% the cost of market leaders 70% less
- Lowest latency Sub 600usec
- Lowest space requirements 48 10G ports in 1U – 2106 in one cabinet
- Lowest power consumption DC power – 80% less than rivals
- Fastest evolution from 1G to 10G Auto sensing 1G/10G ports - unique
- Highest performance 10G completely non blocking
Add to this the fact that the switch has an open API making easy for users to customize, operates at layer 2 or layer 3, has self healing and less management controls, and is cloud, HPC and virtualisation ready, and you can begin to understand that the attributes and philosophies that drove GOOGLE to success, are very similar to that of Arista. So if you are thinking of:-
- Migrating from 1G to 10G without the huge cost uplift
- Building out 10G storage networks
- Consolidating into High performance Data Centres
- Moving to virtualisation or aggregation of server blades to for 1G to 10G
- Experiencing performance problems in HPC environments
- Providing cloud computing interconnect
- Experiencing unacceptable Application latency
Then talk to us about the ARISTA 10G revolution. We have switches available for immediate Evaluation and trials.
