| Ample Introduces Gigabit Networking for PC Platforms Ample Communications has introduced its Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) silicon for the volume PC market. Ample's silicon enables PCs to deliver the industry's highest platform-level performance and takes the PC platform to new heights of cost-effectiveness, power-efficiency and performance scalability. Ample's high-performance GbE silicon significantly boosts platform performance, unleashing the platform central processing unit (CPU) to do a lot more. Now, even a single platform can support from one to multiple ports of GbE, thereby further scaling up the performance. Under similar conditions, legacy GbE silicon completely overwhelms the platform's CPU. Ample's high-performance LAN (local area network) silicon is optimized to become a standard feature of all PC platforms - servers, workstations, desktops, notebooks and storage. It is used as a LAN-on-motherboard or adapter card in the platform. Ample, together with industry partners, is accelerating the industry's transition from legacy LANs to high-performance LANs. With broad industry momentum behind this, it is expected that high-performance LANs will become the standard feature on all PCs in the near future. This transition has already started with such industry efforts as Microsoft's Scalable Networking initiative. Ample's high-performance GbE silicon is compatible with the innovations introduced in the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Scalable Networking Pack announced today at Microsoft's WinHEC 2006 conference. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
