Published purpose

Our technology platform targets the Data Centres need for scalability, in particular how the Data is networked inside the centre for processing and computation. The present system uses a hierarchical “Spine and Leaf” cascade of servers that translates into larger and larger stack of equipment just to get the Data to where it needs to be for processing. Our technology adapted an approached used in some high performance computation platform to the the commercial Storage networking realm. The result is increased performance, unprecedented linear scalability, simplified management, exceptional fault tolerance, improved security plus we eliminate the external footprint, all at a significantly lower price point.
