G.fast on the Fast Track
November 6, 2014
The telephone industry wasn't kidding when it named the newest version of its digital subscriber line (DSL) technology G.fast. Indeed, it's fast in two ways: The speed at which it delivers data over copper and the timeline the telephone industry is employing to bring it to market.
Boot Testing for Flash Usability
November 4, 2014
Non-volatile flash memory (NVMe) has been used to increase the performance of high-end servers for years, notably pioneered by Fusion IO. Today, NVMe is becoming the preferred technology for flash storage and the all-flash datacenter. As NVMe adoption increases, other elements of usability will allow this technology to increase its reach beyond the datacenter, including its use as a boot device.
Telecom Industry Gets Serious About G.fast
November 3, 2014
At least two North American service providers are very interested in using G.fast technology to dramatically boost the bandwidth that can be delivered over existing copper pair phone wiring, according to a source who should have a good handle on this - Lincoln Lavoie, senior engineer for the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Lab oratory, which has been selected by the Broadband Forum to certify G.fast equipment.
