Tandem Computers' ServerNet is a core technology that facilitates rapid and intelligent movement of large amounts of data over a network. The ServerNet architecture evolved from the massively parallel Himalaya servers, and is based on a network connection using multiple high-speed routers. the inexpensive routers are able to quickly switch data directly between multiple sources and destinations.

Processors are not needed for every data path, since the switching is intelligent. ServerNet can be used in all server architectures. The technology provides for a direct connection by avoiding ...
