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.

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... |
 |
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 | | |
