ONF Expands OpenFlow Compliance Testing
November 13, 2014
The Open Networking Foundation, an SDN advocacy organization, today announced it's opening its conformance testing program to non-members. The change should make it easier for carriers to find OpenFlow-compliant hardware and software, as well as making it easier for conformance testing labs to make money.
The future for NVMe technology, and how UNH-IOL advances its progress
November 13, 2014
Recent product announcements prove the NVMe (NVM Express) revolution is underway and is expected to continue with a wave of new products hitting the market in the coming months. Through its NVMe Testing Consortium, the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL) gives subsystem vendors, silicon vendors, IP companies and enterprise storage companies an early, competitive advantage to test and prepare their NVMe products for market prior to the widespread introduction of NVMe SSDs.
SerialTek Adds NVMe Support for BusXpert Analyzers
November 12, 2014
SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- SerialTek, a leader in storage protocol analysis, improves upon the capabilities of its analysis solutions for PCI Express (PCIe) technology today with the announced availability of Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) support. Unlike the Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and Serial ATA (ATA) storage specifications designed for spinning drives, NVMe is a high performance protocol architected specifically for devices and systems that utilize flash and other solid-state memory storage.
G.fast on the Fast Track
November 6, 2014
The telephone industry wasn't kidding when it named the newest version of its digital subscriber line (DSL) technology G.fast. Indeed, it's fast in two ways: The speed at which it delivers data over copper and the timeline the telephone industry is employing to bring it to market.
G-fast Chips: Market Shares, Strategies, and Forecasts, Worldwide, 2014 to 2020
November 6, 2014
LEXINGTON, Massachusetts (November 1, 2014) - WinterGreen Research announces that it has published a new study G.fast Chips: Market Shares, Strategy, and Forecasts, Worldwide, 2014 to 2020.

Boot Testing for Flash Usability
November 4, 2014
Non-volatile flash memory (NVMe) has been used to increase the performance of high-end servers for years, notably pioneered by Fusion IO. Today, NVMe is becoming the preferred technology for flash storage and the all-flash datacenter. As NVMe adoption increases, other elements of usability will allow this technology to increase its reach beyond the datacenter, including its use as a boot device.
Telecom Industry Gets Serious About G.fast
November 3, 2014
At least two North American service providers are very interested in using G.fast technology to dramatically boost the bandwidth that can be delivered over existing copper pair phone wiring, according to a source who should have a good handle on this - Lincoln Lavoie, senior engineer for the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Lab oratory, which has been selected by the Broadband Forum to certify G.fast equipment.
G.fast:A Golden Opportunity For Copper-Based Broadband?
October 28, 2014
While cable's DOCSIS 3.1 platform looks to extend the life of HFC networks, an emerging technology called G.fast aims to perform a similar trick for DSL for the telcos as they look for ways to squeeze more speed out of their widely deployed copper-based networks.
Will G.fast 'Un-obsolete' Copper in Telco Networks?
October 28, 2014
