Q. Who are your key target customer(s)? The low-hanging fruit comes from the market segments that require a clustering of compute and/or storage devices, namely, High Performance Computing (HPC) and Storage Area Networks. Additional customers will users of cloud Computing and the rapidly growing Edge Computing market. The HPC customer segment, one that urgently needs a faster interconnect for their computing clusters to run sophisticated scientific simulations, is eager to experiment with new technologies. After the validation period, these would become paying customers and highly respected reference sites. Q. Is there any protectable intellectual property that differentiates the company’s product or service from those of its …show more content…

Q. What is the product? LinkExpress™ is a complete networking interconnect including all software and hardware necessary to set up and manage a system. The fabric is fully software-defined and controlled with a single, unified virtual memory space across the entire cluster. It is the perfect fabric for the creation of hyper-converged racks. Q. What are the benefits of LinkExpress? LinkExpress, GigaIO's breakthrough extreme connectivity, creates a shared memory systems that connects many discrete server and storage nodes into a single system, scale-up to one for: • Extreme connectivity for breathtaking performance • High bandwidth and low latency connectivity between PCIe devices. • Heterogeneous configurations – any server, any storage, any GPU. Any device that supports PCIe. Q. How is Link Express different from other connectivity products? LinkExpress™ is the industry’s highest performance I/O Interconnect, running 100X faster than existing data center networks because it bypasses the bottlenecks created by network conversion, which is integral to their architectures. Instead, multiple racks of storage and compute servers can be easily and elegantly plugged in to create one giant “super-server” using LinkExpress™. This allows data located anywhere within the LinkExpress connected super-server to be transferred directly to its destination in nanoseconds whereas in any existing, typical computing cluster that same data would be caught in
