SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- PLX Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:PLXT), a leading global supplier of silicon and software solutions for enterprise and consumer markets, today announced a combined demonstration plan of its market-leading products at the upcoming Intel Developers Forum (IDF), September 22-24, 2009. PLX will demo an emerging enterprise usage model of its latest PCI Express (PCIe) 2.0 switches and merge it with several new consumer applications by using its network attached storage (NAS) devices, thus showcasing the convergence of the connected world.
The PCIe element of the demonstration will highlight a PLX[R] PEX 8696 PCIe Gen 2 switch supporting multi-host/multi-root connectivity by having two computers communicate simultaneously through a single switch posing as two different systems. At the same time, a separate PLX PEX 8609 switch will demonstrate non-transparency (NT) capability, a PLX-exclusive feature, by having the two PCs be able to send messages through the NT port of the unique switch.
NAS is the future of consumer content-sharing and storage and PLX will highlight some modern usage models. The PLX OXE810 system-on-a-chip (SoC) will showcase the high-performance management of multiple high-definition (HD) quality videos, audio, and pictures via wired and wireless networks. Dual HD monitors along with a netbook and a smart cell phone will represent the sharing. Audio transfer via the OXE810 NAS device will be demonstrated by streaming an Internet radio player while, simultaneously, photographic images will be streamed and shared in a digital photo frame.
IDF 2009 will be held in San Francisco, Calif., on September 22-24 at the Moscone Center West. Attendees can register on the Intel Website for full access to the event, while budget-restricted patrons can register for free (Thursday showcase only) by visiting https://secure.jackmorton.com/idf09/ and using the promo code DCPECD1.
