With these results we've proved that the Fabric 7 architecture enables a level of scalability and performance on x86 platforms that easily competes with more expensive, proprietary systems that have traditionally dominated the midrange and high-end of the server market.

What we have done is taken a lot of inspiration from the mainframe, which was arguably one of the most evolved forms of computing made by man. Fabric7 has taken the overall view of the mainframe and moved it to the 21st century.

Our intent is to take lessons that have been learned and found effective in other switched infrastructures and deploy them in IT shops. We are looking to disrupt that market by driving those systems to industry-standard components in form of processors and operating systems.

Fabric7 is showing customers that the days of having to rely on expensive, proprietary processors and operating systems are over. With these results we've proved that the Fabric7 architecture enables a level of scalability and performance on x86 platforms that easily competes with more expensive, proprietary systems that have traditionally dominated the midrange and high-end of the server market. By offering this scalability to customers at three to five times lower cost, we are dramatically shifting the economics of enterprise computing.

It's a very consolidated market. The big vendors are vulnerable in their high-end machines, all for different reasons, so I think we're in a good position to pull this off,
