SAN JOSE, Calif., November 17, 2008 - 3Leaf Systems (www.3leafsystems.com), a provider of next-generation virtualization solutions for enterprise data centers, today announced that Bob Quinn, chairman, founder and chief technology officer for the company, will present at the 2008 Virtualization Conference West being held November 19-21 in San Jose, Calif. In his session entitled, "MicroNetwork-Based Coherency: Extending a Processor's Coherency Domain over a Standard Network," Bob will discuss the technology and business trends that are enabling truly dynamic computing within the data center.

As network switch latencies fall and the architecture for processor coherency migrates from a frontside bus to a coherent network, technology is driving toward the next generation of distributed processing. At the same time enterprises are struggling to scale resources to the dynamic demands of today's business applications. These forces are converging to enable a coherent network with efficient, high performance inter-processor communication for x86 systems over standard commodity switches. Enterprises can now virtualize servers to create pools of resources that can be allocated in real-time to meet dynamic application needs. Bob's session at the Virtualization Conference delves into the technology and business advancements that are enabling unprecedented scalability and flexibility with commodity X64 systems.

"Advancements in processors, network switches, and operating systems, when combined with coherent networking and distributed hypervisors, enable the Dynamic Data Center, which brings resources on line just in time to meet changing business needs while minimizing the operational overhead of power and cooling" said Bob Quinn, chairman, founder and CTO at 3Leaf Systems.

Session Details:
Bob Quinn's session, "MicroNetwork-Based Coherency: Extending a Processor's Coherency Domain over a Standard Network," will be held on Wednesday, November 19 from 3:25 to 4:10 p.m. as part of Track 5: Virtualization/Cloud. The 2008 Virtualization Conference West is being held at the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose, Calif.

AUSTIN, TX, (SC08, Booth #1033), November 12, 2008 - 3Leaf Systems (www.3leafsystems.com), a provider of next-generation virtualization solutions for enterprise data centers, today announced that the company will showcase new silicon enabled virtualization technology enabling dynamic resource utilization using commodity servers from Super Micro Computer Inc. 3Leaf will demo the solution at Supermicro's Booth# 1033 at SC08 being held in the Austin Convention Center, Austin, Texas from November 15-21.

Virtualization within high performance computing (HPC) environments presents particular challenges to today's enterprises. HPC environments require ultra high speed message passing between applications in order to operate in high computing environments, and many of today's virtualization solutions fall short in providing this capability. In addition, CPU and memory demands from HPC applications continue to drive over-provisioning of servers within the data center.

Now, rather than having to overbuild their infrastructures to allow for high compute or memory intensive jobs, and/or sacrificing performance to achieve virtualization, enterprises have another choice. 3Leaf's silicon enabled technology demonstrates how enterprises can pool CPU and memory resources across multiple x86 servers to create a cloud environment, enable up to one terabyte of DRAM for memory intensive applications, and achieve low-latency messaging between applications.

"Virtualization, along with compute and memory constraints within today's scale-out servers, provides many challenges for HPC environments," said B.V. Jagadeesh, CEO and president, 3Leaf Systems. "With this technology, working together with companies like Supermicro, 3Leaf helps enable virtualization for HPC environments while lowering the capital and operational costs of their HPC infrastructures. Supermicro shares our vision and we are pleased the company is an early adopter of this revolutionary technology."

"We recognize the strong, unique value that the 3Leaf technology achieves, and are excited to partner with 3Leaf to help enterprises overcome pain points in their HPC environments by optimizing resources and dramatically reducing data center costs," said Charles Liang, CEO and president, Supermicro. "With the 3Leaf enabled Supermicro servers, enterprises can achieve a terabyte of DRAM at a dramatically low cost and enable low-latency messaging for fast performance."
