SGI to Resell TeraBurst Optical Networking for Visualization Apps

Silicon Graphics Inc. (SGI) will begin reselling optical networking equipment from TeraBurst Networks, a start-up based in Sunnyvale, California. The Teraburst gear will be used for connectivity between SGI Reality Center facilities for distributed visualization applications. Teraburst's V2O platform converts the video signal from SGI systems to a standard telecom-ready signal for either OC3 or OC48 SONET-based optical networks. The optical network allows users to see the stereo frame rates and image quality generated by the SGI Onyx system, enabling a new level of remote, collaborative visualization. For example, multisite command-and-control teams can use the high-performance, high-resolution and long distance graphics distribution capabilities from TeraBurst to leverage the data fusion capabilities of an SGI Onyx system to interact with multiple remote high-resolution data and video streams in a 3D environment.
