Obsidian Strategics Selects Nadel Phelan to Usher in Enhanced InfiniBand Technology

SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif., Oct. 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- From Big Science to the Internet of Things, more data is being processed and moved at a rate never seen before. The supercomputing industry is retooling for a new architecture to rewrite history on how to distribute computational work over globally distributed sites. Obsidian Strategics has selected Nadel Phelan, Inc. to provide comprehensive public relations as the company moves forward in developing and improving systems for delivering large data.

Obsidian Strategics' technology enables robust and enhanced InfiniBand^™connectivity across a globally distributed array of high performance computer and storage resources, while delivering performance similar to that of local InfiniBand cabling. Highlights include:

• Obsidian focuses on improving the speed and efficiency by which data is moved across networks. In an era when the amount of data collected by government, research labs and Fortune 500 firms is doubling almost annually, the volume of site-to-transfer is a rapidly increasing problem.
• Obsidian's "Longbow" technology enables data to move securely over existing optical networks faster – and more efficiently – than ever before. Obsidian's technologies support the "InfiniBand" protocol used in High Performance Computers, a.k.a. Supercomputers. Using existing optical networks, the "Obsidian Longbow" devices allow remote fabrics to merge and communicate natively regardless of distance.
• "Longbow" technology has proven critical for data center expansion, bulk high-speed long haul data transport and remote storage mirroring for disaster tolerance. Such capabilities have found applications within military and intelligence agencies, NASA and the Department of Energy as well as research institutions and Fortune 500 companies.

Paula Phelan, CEO, Nadel Phelan, said: "Data continues to proliferate and organizations need solutions for improving bulk data transport. Obsidian Strategics' technology provides vastly improved data storage, transport and transfer capabilities – faster and more efficiently than any other company. We are proud to be able to support this important technology advancement."

Bill Halina, Chairman and CEO, Obsidian Strategics, said: "Nadel Phelan has a proven track record of commitment to strategic communications in the high-tech industry. Their record of success and expertise made them our top choice."
