"Our main mission is to drive scientific innovation and advancement in industry by applying leading-edge supercomputing technologies", stated Yuqi Wei, manager, technical support department, Shanghai Supercomputer Center. "The Voltaire InfiniBand switches are integral for enabling the high performance, efficiency and stability of our 30,000-plus cores supercomputer."

"This report confirms our strong position in China, an important market for future growth", stated Asaf Somekh, vice president of marketing, Voltaire. "Our expertise and innovation have made us the clear choice for InfiniBand switch deployments. Major research organisations, as well as commercial enterprises, rely on Voltaire's InfiniBand technology to meet their high-performance requirements while increasing efficiency and consolidating their infrastructures."

"Another interesting data point from the China TOP100, is that Voltaire switches are used as the interconnect fabric for 88.5% of the processing power (in teraFLOPS) of all the InfiniBand sites on list", Asaf Somekh added.

Voltaire's 20 and 40 Gb/s InfiniBand switches provide the high-performance interconnect for the world's largest computing systems and scale-out data centres. The switches accelerate mission-critical applications, and enable faster data sharing among storage and server networks.

In November 2009, Voltaire also announced that according to the 34th edition of the TOP500 list of the world's most powerful supercomputers, its switches power more than 50 percent of the InfiniBand deployments - more than double the share of any other InfiniBand systems vendor.
