Selectronix

Selectronix, with headquarters in Aldermaston in the UK, is a specialist European distributor and manufacturer of Fibre Channel, SCSI, Infiniband, etc high speed communications assemblies and related components. Formed in 1979 as a specialist UK distributor of interconnection products, together with a range of electromechanical devices, Selectronix has since developed along two avenues: as a distributor of connector products, relays, switches and sensors, and as a manufacturer, in our own modern assembly plant, of SCSI cables for computer related applications where technical expertise is required; and as a supplier of Fibre Channel, Infiniband, Gigabit Ethernet solutions for this dynamic new market. In order to support its customers in mainland Europe, and especially in France, a subsidiary company, Selectronix Sarl was established in 1998.

  • editor's comments:- Selectronix appears in my article:- Animal Brands and Metaphors in the Storage Market

    Selectronix was a regular advertiser here on the mouse site about 10 years ago. They mostly advertised storage cables and GBICs, but also some HBAs as well.

    Our graphics designer, the late David Mellor, rented an office in Selectronix's HQ building - which at that time was at Calleva Park Aldermaston, UK.

    Selectronix was based about a mile from my home / office, before I moved to Lewes, Sussex in 2007.

    The roundabout at Calleva Park can be very confusing. It loops into another roundabout heading towards Tadley. When I first moved into that area in the early 1990s - I often used to drive several times around before taking the correct turn. That endless looping on the way to a restaurant (no longer in business) called Romans at Silchester - is still remembered with hilarity by family members nearly 20 years later. They were following me in the car behind.

Z's Laws - Predicting Future Flash SSD Performance
A few months ago a reader asked me a very good question.

"Is there an industry roadmap for future flash SSD performance?"

That prompted other questions like...
  • How fast are flash SSDs going to be in 2009?, 2010? or 2012?
  • What are the technology factors which relate to flash SSD throughput and IOPS?
  • How close will flash SSDs get to RAM SSD performance?
There wasn't a simple answer I could give at the time. Clues lay scattered all across this web site and in my many one on one discussions with readers about the market...
predicting the future article But I agreed there should be a single place on the web where these answers could be found.

Forget Moore's Law. That gives you the wrong answer, and this article explains why. ...read the article
