Voltaire filed its initial public offering on Wednesday, making it the second vendor of InfiniBand products to do so in the past 12 months.
The company, located in Herzeliya, Israel, and Billerica, Mass., announced it would price its stock at $9 per share and requested it be listed under the symbol VOLT on the Nasdaq local market.
The company is the latest InfiniBand company to pursue a public offering. In October of last year, Mellanox, which makes InfiniBand silicon and adapters, filed for its IPO.
Companies focusing on the high-speed interconnection technology have had mixed results to date. TopSpin, one of the early leaders in InfiniBand, was acquired by Cisco in 2005. Other vendors, such as Omegaband, Vieo, Paceline Systems, Banderacomm and Intel are either no longer in business or no longer make InfiniBand products.
Voltaire makes InfiniBand switches, host channel adapters and InfiniBand-to-IP and Fibre Channel routers.
The company started in 1997 and counts among its customers NASA, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Trinity College in Dublin and Sandia National Laboratories.
Voltaire is expected to begin trading today, July 26.
