Embargoed Until NSF Announcement
Industrial Partners Are Deeply Involved in the
Intellectual Component of our Research
IBM is quite interested in obtaining an early
understanding of how the optical networking revolution
is going to lead to major architectural changes in
computing, storage and software. The OptIPuter holds
out the promise of giving us real experience with the
many tradeoffs we will have to deal with over the next
few years as optical fabrics become ubiquitous. …
We believe there may also be significant market
opportunities which will emerge from your project in the
rapidly growing metro area.

IBM Senior Vice President and Director of Research
