Myricom: Extreme Performance Ethernet

Arcadia, CA – Nov. 28, 2011. Myricom, the technology leader in extreme-performance 10-Gigabit Ethernet solutions specialized for vertical markets, today announces a new Myri-10G 10-Gigabit Ethernet network adapter. The 10G-PCIE2-8C2-2S-SYNC dual-SFP+-port adapter is specifically designed for applications such as cybersecurity and high frequency trading where accurate timestamping, lossless packet sniffing and injection at line rate, and cutting edge latencies are required.

“With Myricom’s new SYNC network adapters, we can timestamp all incoming packets with 1us precision, allowing us to more accurately measure and monitor the performance of our high frequency trading platform,” said Oleg Chernyakhovskiy, CTO, Lynx Capital Partners, a leading provider of high volume, low latency automated trading applications.

Timecode-based 10G-PCIE2-8C2-2S-SYNC adapters:

• Eliminate the need to run less precise protocols such as PTP (Precision Time Protocol – IEEE1588 standard) or NTP (Network Time Protocol)
• Connect to CDMA or GPS timecode sources, providing timestamps traceable back to UTC
• Are not subject to network delays, don’t require dedicated Ethernet networks or “PTP-capable” Ethernet switches for time distribution
• Provide full use of both adapter ports while maintaining timestamp accuracy
• Increase throughput performance and achieve low host-CPU utilization with firmware-controlled stateless offloads
• Are optimized hardware for use with Myricom’s DBL™ and Sniffer10G™ software for low latency and high packet rate environments
• Provide a superior and cost-effective technology solution for applications where accurate timestamping is required

“Myricom’s new SYNC adapter makes precise timestamping accessible for the broad 10-Gigabit Ethernet market,” said Dr. Nan Boden, CEO of Myricom. “Our solution, by using a CDMA or GPS timecode source, gives our customers the capability to accurately timestamp packets without having to sacrifice 10GbE throughput as is the case with competing solutions.”

10G-PCIE2-8C2-2S-SYNC network adapters are sampling now and will be generally available by the end of 4Q11.
