DURHAM – The move to the campus at the University of New Hampshire gave the InterOperability Lab an opportunity: Create space specifically suited to its needs.
That move from space off campus, off Route 155A at Goss International to brand new space at the new Madbury Commons in downtown Durham was big – requiring about 50 truckloads of servers and almost 28 football fields worth of Ethernet cabling (about 20,000 feet). The move was accomplished over the holidays....
Ottawa, Ontario - January 5, 2016 - Coveloz, a technology provider of embedded applications focusing on deterministic networking, announced today that their BACH™ Pro Audio Networking and Processing FPGA platform has achieved AVnu Certification. The AVnu Alliance, the industry consortium that certifies Ethernet AVB and Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) devices for interoperability, grants its certification mark only to those devices that have implemented the IEEE AVB standards and passed AVnu Alliance's testing for interoperability and compliance.
The AVnu Certification...
The UNH InterOperability Laboratory (IOL) is on the move and, come Jan. 4, is scheduled to be up and running in its new location adjacent to campus at Madbury Commons.
The IOL is the leading test facility for data and networking communications products. Its work includes determining that products work, meet specified standards and can be used together. For example, in lay terms, the IOL tests technologies that enable you to connect your phone, laptop and car to the...
UNH-IOL plugfest produces list of interoperable combinations of networking gear based on Open Compute Project specs.
If you've been eyeing open networking but remain skeptical, operators of a testing initiative at the University of New Hampshire Interoperability Lab hope to convince you otherwise.
The UNH-IOL recently published an Open Networking Integrators List, a public directory of validated, interoperable combinations of networking gear based on specifications from the Open Compute Project. The list shows the results of...
The new broadband technology being championed by BT is a cost-effective way of delivering fast internet speeds, an expert has said. Lincoln Lavoie said fibre broadband is a futureproof long-term solution but comes “at a huge cost”. He said G.fast, which uses a combination of fibre cables and existing copper wires, is a “great solution” that can make the most of the UK’s current infrastructure.
G.fast is currently being trialled by BT customers in Gosforth, Newcastle, and Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire,...
The University of New Hampshire InterOperabilty Laboratory (UNH-IOL) said it’s making progress with a certification program tied to G.fast, an emerging standardthat will bring gigabit speeds to DSL networks and help telcos better compete against cable’s DOCSIS platform.
At this week’s Broadband World Forum in London, UNH-IOL said it will demo G.fast interoperability to deliver 4K. Additionally, it announced a seventh G.fast “plugfest” set for November.
UNH-IOL said it’s on target to launch the...
The IT kit in data centers could get a lot more efficient and less wasteful, if people move to standardized, “white boxes” based on open standards, instead of the proprietary kit they use now. But so far, there’s a trust issue: can you rely on a no-name box?
There are definite signs that users are moving towards converged hardware, including unbranded servers. According to a survey of 850 IT decision makers by 451 Research, the majority of enterprise data...
The University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL) has released an Open Networking Integrator’s List public directory of independently validated, interoperable combinations of networking products that are based on Open Compute Specifications.
The list is based on successful completion of interoperability and conformance tests performed at the laboratory’s most recent Open Networking Plugfest, held September 21-25, 2015 at the UNH-IOL. Devices tested during the Open Networking Plugfest included network operating system (NOS) software, 10G and 40G switches, optical modules,...
The networking project of the Open Compute Project and the University of New Hampshire Interoperability Lab today jointly released what they are calling the "consumer reports for open networking" -- an open networking integrator's list of hardware, operating systems, cables and optics that are known to work together.
They are calling the UNH-IOL's Open Networking Integrator's List, which you can find here, "the first and only public directory of independently validated, interoperable combinations of networking products that are based...
A university testing lab with more than 25 years experience has published a list of interoperable networking products meeting Open Compute Project (OCP) standards have been listed online, making it easier for data center builders to create efficient flexible IT systems.
The University of New Hampshire’s InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL) has published the Open Network Integrator’s List - a compilation of products which have been validated as interoperating under the networking standards emerging from the Open Compute Project - the...
