"The March to Merchant Silicon in 10Gbe Cloud Networking"

July 19th, 2011

http://www.aristanetworks.com/en/blogs/?p=551

"The inevitable march towards merchant silicon for Ethernet switching

is continuing with the announcement from Intel today that it is

acquiring Fulcrum Microsystems. Fulcrum of course the silicon vendor

that is the core of our low-latency switch family that is the most

widely used switch across the world for high-frequency trading.

I wanted to share my thoughts on what this means for the industry

going forward."

"Airports need to be jacked up to the gills with ubiquitous systems

requiring increasingly high levels of computational power -

intelligent automation; unobtrusive safety and security; passengers

and their devices; processing of goods and luggage; information and

transportation systems; and all those shops."

"So what's needed? The requirements involve fixed and mobile

appliances, so an intelligent, adaptive, self-organising and

self-managing wired and wireless infrastructure is going to fit the

bill."

[san-tech][03273] Active Optical Cable (AOC) 市場予想レポート

Date: Sun, 17 Jul 2011 00:13:03 +0900
--------------------------------------------------

Active Optical Cable (AOC) に関する市場予想レポート (有償) です：

プレスリリース：

"New CIR Report Projects that Active Optical Cable (AOC) Market Will

Reach $1.9 billion by 2016"

June 13, 2011

http://www.cir-inc.com/news/pr_detail.cfm?PRID=197

"Active Optical Cabling Markets: 2011 and Beyond"

June 9, 2011, Pages: 90, CIR, Inc.

http://www.cir-inc.com/products/prod_detail.cfm?prod=1&id=237

"Active Optical Cables (AOCs) are still a niche market. CIR believes

that they will generate less than $60 million in 2011 and these

revenues will largely come from sales into the data center (and

especially the InfiniBand) market. Nonetheless, AOCs remain the

best way for markets where knowledge of fiber optic communications

is scarce to derive the benefits of optical networking. Soon, other

markets will pick up on how AOCs can help them shift towards fiber

optics. These include not only a broad range of data communications

applications, but also digital signage and various consumer

electronics applications. CIR estimates that within five years,

the worldwide AOC market will have reached $1.9 billion."
