AQUANTIA ANNOUNCES BREAKTHROUGH 100G TECHNOLOGY FOR HYPERSCALE DATA CENTRES AND CLOUD COMPUTING ENVIRONMENTS

Aquantia has unveiled QuantumStream technology , a new class of high performance connectivity architecture that has the potential to revolutionise next generation hyperscale data centres .
QuantumStream technology , developed by Aquantia through a strategic collaboration with GlobalFoundries , is creating a 100Gbit / s all-electrical technology delivering low latency to networking applications . Aquantia ’ s technology delivers a quantum leap in data rate performance over a single lane of copper previously believed to be solely the realm of optical techniques .
The availability of this technology will enable system vendors and data centre operators to push towards higher performance and newer topologies in hyperscale architectures while keeping the reliability and ease of use of electrical based interconnects . QuantumStream technology is aimed at inter and intra rack connectivity up to a few metres complementing longer reach optical connectivity solutions used in hyperscale data centres .

Netscout expands its cloud offering with the introduction of nGeniusPulse

Netscout Systems has introduced nGeniusPulse , an expansion of its service assurance technology for hybrid and public cloud computing environments .
Larger enterprises have been running virtualised , private cloud environments successfully for years , depending on Netscouts ’ s nGeniusOne Service Assurance platform to protect the performance of their business services . These same organisations have been migrating applications and select parts of their IT services to hosted cloud services and software-as-a-service ( SaaS ) providers . However , their ability to accelerate this migration has been limited , until now .
Public cloud services traditionally come with a loss of visibility , with organisations being unable to monitor the performance of their services and consequently , unable to prevent and resolve outages . The addition of nGeniusPulse to the nGeniusOne platform gives Netscout customers the ability to measure service levels and quickly resolve any problems .
The combination of nGeniusPulse with the nGenius platform , with its ability to test cloud based services for availability , responsiveness , and adherence to service levels , gives enterprise IT leaders the actionable insight to migrate with confidence .
