SAN DIEGO, Calif. and MARLBOROUGH, Mass., Jan. 21, 2009 (GLOBE
NEWSWIRE) -- Magma and Dolphin Interconnect Solutions today announced a
strategic partnership which combines their unique experience and
expertise in delivering PCI Express-based solutions. Together they will
collaborate to develop and deliver optimized PCI Express-based
application platforms.

Dolphin has developed software which enables PCI Express to be used as
the system-interconnect in combined clustering, multi-server and
shared/remote IO configurations. Magma brings many years of experience
in providing high quality PCI Express IO scaling solutions to the
market.

Through this powerful hardware and software combination, Magma and
Dolphin will deliver the ideal platform infrastructure upon which
application appliances can be deployed. Applications benchmarks with
this technology demonstrate two to four times better application
latency and throughput vs. alternatives. Highly efficient application
solutions providing optimized processing and storage capabilities can
be built on top of this flexible platform infrastructure.

"Our customers want complete solutions that are optimized for their
particular business application and will continue to seek the most
power-efficient, high-performance appliance that is specifically tuned
to meet their unique requirements," said Tim Miller, CEO for Dolphin
Interconnect Solutions. "Dolphin and Magma will be meeting this need
with PCI Express appliances targeted for specific enterprise
datacenter, high-performance computing and storage applications."

"PCI Express is the ideal interconnect to meet the needs of dedicated
application appliances -- yet the missing ingredient in the past has
been the software infrastructure to fully utilize PCI Express in
cluster and multi-server configurations as well as supporting flexible
IO configurations," said Randy Jones, CEO for Magma. "With Dolphin we
will now be delivering easy to deploy platforms that leverage the full
power of PCI Express. Many application developers are also looking for
platforms that can easily be tuned to their specific optimized
requirements. The two companies are building partnerships with
application developers to provide highly optimized solutions built on
this powerful platform."

Initial products from this partnership will be available this quarter.
