SVA Networks, Inc. Chooses StarFabric Technology from StarGen for Next Generation Switching Products
SVA Networks implements control plane architecture for its 10K Series high performance switch using StarGen's StarFabric technology
PLANO, Tex. - April 29, 2002 - SVA Networks, Inc., a US corporation with business operations in the US, China, and Taiwan, is demonstrating its new SVA 10K Series Ethernet Switch product line at Networld+Interop, Las Vegas May 7-9, Booth # 2674. A unique feature of this high performance next-generation design is its redundant control plane with fail-over capability between a primary and secondary host processor. SVA Networks has implemented this control plane with standard off-the-shelf components using StarGen's StarFabric technology.
StarFabric is a high-speed, point-to-point switched backplane and chassis-to-chassis interconnect solution for scalable and highly available communication and embedded systems. It can be used to enhance or replace existing bus-based interconnect solutions. "The control plane is a critical aspect of any communication equipment design. As customer demand for high-availability and reliability increases, the ability to provide fault-tolerant control planes is a clear system advantage," said Tracy Richardson, president of StarGen, Inc. "The qualities inherent with StarFabric such as its low cost, compatibility with PCI, and the ability to provide high-availability attributes, make it a good fit with the SVA 10K Series."
"SVA Network's success is built upon our ability to provide leadership standards-based, high-performance, interoperable products for wired and wireless communication networks. We selected StarFabric as a critical component of our flagship 10K series, so we could offer a completely redundant system, including the ability to fail-over the control processors. We believe this puts us at a significant advantage over our competition in meeting our customers requirements," said Jerry Pate, senior vice president, engineering at SVA Networks.
The SVA Networks, Inc., SVA 10K is a next generation chassis switch with twelve slots, dual redundant power supplies, and network processing technology. The SVA 10K switch provides a high-performance scalable platform, eliminates single-points-of-failure and forklift product migrations, while reducing network Total Cost of Ownership (TOC).
StarGen will also be exhibiting at Networld+Interop in Booth #7785.
