Future I/O

Future I/O provides a high-performance switched-fabric interconnect to enable both host-to-host and host-to-I/O node communication. Providing inherent redundancy characteristics, 1 GB/sec data rates and support for legacy IP, this architecture will satisfy bandwidth requirements for a number of applications for years to come. The architecture enables very low-cost implementations for adapter vendors and also scales to very high-end IPC and more complex data exchange scenarios. This will lead to use of this architecture throughout the computer industry.
