Light Reading Webinar Tackles Issues of 40G/100G Switching for 4G Networks and the Data Center

CALABASAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- High-speed Ethernet is moving into new areas of networking including 4G wireless and the datacenter. Helping equipment designers to make the most of 40G/100G Ethernet technology in these applications is the subject of a Light Reading Webinar on Dec. 2, 2010 at 12:00 p.m. EST sponsored in part by Fulcrum Microsystems.

The Webinar will be moderated by Simon Stanley, analyst at large for Heavy Reading, and will feature Gary Lee, Fulcrum’s director of product marketing. The free, educational Webinar will cover switching trends and demands in networking systems with a focus on 4G wireless and data center systems. The Webinar will also cover advances and standards in 40G/100G technology, introduce several implementation examples and finish with answers to submitted questions.

Fulcrum, a leading provider of high-performance Ethernet switching silicon for the data center, enterprise and service provider markets, recently announced its innovative new FocalPoint™ FM6000 series of fully integrated wire-speed 10G and 40G Ethernet switch chips. These switches incorporate the company’s Alta high-speed Ethernet switching architecture and its FlexPipe™ low-latency packet-processing pipeline, which can parse, modify and apply multiple rules to traffic at more than one billion packets per second.
