Solarflare Communications has expanded its family of branded 10GbE products with a new 10GbE dual-port server adapter and Enterprise OpenOnload. 
The new SFN5122F adapter is especially designed for virtualization, cloud computing and high-performance computing in financial services. Enterprise OpenOnload is an application acceleration product ideal for high-performance computing in financial services and other vertical markets that require low-latency and high message rate application acceleration.
Solarflare noted that multiple high-density 10GbE data center switches are now available from such vendors as Arista, BNT, Brocade, Cisco and Force10. These switches drive the need for high-performance, dual-port 10GbE server adapters. To fully utilize the increased processing power delivered by multi-core CPUs, enterprises and data centers require native 10GbE network connections.
Featuring hypervisor bypass and SR-IOV, the SFN5122F alleviates network I/O bottlenecks and allows IT managers to allocate server I/O network resources directly to applications. Solarflare's scalable, hardware-assisted virtualized architecture supports thousands of vNICs for accelerated application networking. When combined with Enterprise OpenOnload, the SFN5122F can deliver sub-5 microsecond UDP/TCP application latencies, while supporting message rates in the millions. It also significantly reduces latency jitter, making it ideal for high-frequency trading.
Recently, Solarflare also published the results of testing this adapter with the Intel Xeon Processor 7500 Series Server, the next-generation server processor previously codenamed Nehalem-EX. The company equipped four Solarstorm SFN5122F dual-port 10GbE NICs on a four processor Intel Xeon Processor 7500 Series Server, achieving a new LAN speed record at 118 Gbps network throughput.

demonstrated a range of technology advances at last month's Optical Fiber Conference (OFC) in San Diego, California, including higher-order modulation techniques, use of multi-stage algorithms and increased spectral efficiencies that enable the transmission of significantly higher bit rates over increasingly longer distances. The optical transmission technologies demonstrated by Bell Labs were presented in a series of juried research papers reviewed in rigorous evaluation process and accepted by the OFC program committee. Alcatel-Lucent highlighted the following items:
and ZTE have completed a TD-LTE indoor MIMO networking performance test in Beijing. The test yielded TD-LTE performance evaluation data on indoor single/dual path cell throughput. The testing also produced data for indoor multi-UE circumstances. Performance results were not disclosed.
said the goal of this experiment was to evaluate construction of indoor LTE distribution systems, including whether a two-path system can achieve significantly better performance than a single path system under different scenarios and user distributions. The testing found that, under diversified testing circumstances, a TD-LTE two-path indoor distribution system downlink throughput does show dramatic improvements compared with single path indoor distribution system. 
have enacted a reciprocal Wi-Fi roaming agreement that takes effect today. NTT Com HOTSPOT customers are able to use some 70 Boingo wireless local area network (WLAN) access points for data roaming in airports and other locations of the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, while Boingo retail customers visiting Japan gain access to NTT Com HOTSPOT WLAN access points, both beginning April 1. In Japan, Boingo retail customers can roam NTT Com's broad nationwide WLAN network covering hotels, restaurants, coffee shops, airports, train stations and even selected railcars on major business routes.
teamed up to deliver the Managed Data Vault - a new private cloud service that provides secure, quick and reliable daily backups, and fast recovery of enterprise information. The service will automatically transfer data from a client location to a specially designed off-site data center via Verizon's secure high-speed private network. IBM supplies backup infrastructure and management capabilities. The service is aimed at the financial, retail and health care services markets.
a new line of home WiFi routers aimed at simplifying the set-up of home networks. A USB thumb drive is provided to automate the configuration of the network. Valet also provides new levels of parental controls, as well as guest access. Pricing starts at $99.
reported sales revenue of CNY 149.1 billion (approx. US$21.82 billion) worldwide for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, with a 19% rise year on year. Net profit was CNY 18.3 billion, with a net profit margin of 12.2%; it had CNY 21.7 billion net cash flow from operating activities. The company held CNY 29.2 billion (approx US$427 billion) in cash as of December 31, 2009.
Ericsson will expand and upgrade Airtel's network in 15 of India's 22 telecom circles. Under the deal, Ericsson will supply its 2G/2.5G radio base stations, circuit and packet core, microwave transmission and Intelligent Network. In addition, Ericsson will ensure that Bharti Airtel's core and transport network is 3G-ready in order to reduce time to market and enable the fast rollout of 3G services at a later date.
The acquisition includes the transfer of important GSM business with North American operators and further strengthens Ericsson's ability to serve North America's leading wireless operators. More than 350 employees from Nortel will be integrated in the Ericsson group over the coming months. The deal was first announced in November 2009.
