The two companies have completed interoperability testing and cross-certification of Voltaire Vantage 10GbE switches and software and Emulex OneConnect Universal Converged Network Adapters (UCNAs). The joint solution was featured in a live demonstration at SC|10 in New Orleans.

"Voltaire and Emulex are well-aligned and positioned as 10GbE adoption in the data center heats up," said Asaf Somekh, vice president of marketing, Voltaire. "Voltaire’s 10GbE switches and Emulex OneConnect 10GbE UCNA solutions are both carried by HP and IBM creating an easy path to deployment by our mutual customers."

"Emulex is committed to building partnerships that help customers make the transition to high-performance, high-density 10GbE networks," said Steve Daheb, chief marketing officer and senior vice president of business development, Emulex. "Collaborating with Voltaire ensures customers have the solutions they need, to not only make the transition, but make the transition a seamless one, enabling them to realize the benefits of network consolidation and convergence."
