Fulcrum Microsystems delivers performance-leading 10-Gigabit Ethernet switch/router chips for next-generation board and system designs. The FocalPoint switch family exhibits the extremely low latency of 200 nanoseconds for layer 2 switching and 300 nanoseconds for layer 3 routing which is necessary for high performance HPC and storage implementations, thus, enabling 10-Gigabit Ethernet to serve as the unifying fabric technology for the datacenter.

The advanced features available in FocalPoint enable datacenter designers to cope with the problems of scalability, space, power and cost as they evolve to meet increasing demands for applications such as networking, storage and computation. Efficient scaling implies not only scaling in terms of bandwidth but doing so in a cost effective manner with an implementation that allows the deployment of added bandwidth with an appropriate level of granularity.
