About Dolphin
Dolphin Interconnect Solutions products are used to connect multiple computers and IO systems together to create high performance computing platforms for demanding applications. Application clusters created using Dolphin’s interconnect products provide significant improvements in response time and transaction throughput compared to using alternative interconnect technologies.
Internet based data serving applications see dramatic performance improvements using Dolphin’s technology. For data service providers, this means that half the number of computers can support the same number of simultaneous users. This lowers their required investment per transaction. Additionally, ongoing operating costs in terms of power utilization, cooling, and space requirements are cut in half. These are compelling economic benefits.
Dolphin Interconnect Solutions is headquartered in Oslo, Norway. U.S. operations are based in Dallas, Texas. Dolphin maintains sales offices in Dallas, San Diego and Oslo, and is represented internationally by a network of resellers, distributors and integrators.
