San Diego Supercomputer Center Chooses Force10 Switch/Router for TeraGrid Connectivity
Enterprises and research institutions once turned to mainframes or supercomputers for the computing power needed to run their most processor- and data-intensive applications. Today, they are turning to clusters and Grids made up of tens to thousands of small commodity servers, interconnected with scalable, high-performance Ethernet networks. These Grids will give users access to enormous ""virtual supercomputers"" — computers at different locations linked together to work as one — enabling breakthroughs in science and engineering.

Force10 Networks E600 Enables Sakura Internet to Provide Japan’s Fastest Network Backbone
Sakura Internet, Inc. of Japan provides an array of Internet access services that include data centers, dedicated servers, hosting and Distributed Internet Exchange (DIX) capabilities. The company began providing services in 1997, and since then has consistently led the Japanese domestic Internet market. Its initial connection service provided 200 Megabit-per-second (Mbps) speeds, combining 100 Mbps in Osaka and 100 Mbps in Tokyo. At that time, 1.5 Mbps speeds were advertised as ""high capacity,"" so Sakura’s 200 Mbps offering represented a quantum leap forward for broadband service.

Equinix Steps Up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet Exchange Services with Force10 Networks
Today, the continued rise of broadband traffic, a competitive bandwidth pricing environment and high core router costs are squeezing Internet Service Provider (ISP) margins while forcingcontinued network expansion. For ISPs, one of the largest overhead costs is Internet peering, where they physically interconnect their network to all other ISPs, to ensure global Internet reach. It is the Internet Exchanges (IXs) that enable scalable, cost-effective Internet peering for hundreds of ISPs by providing a neutral meeting place and large-scale Ethernet switch fabrics to aggregate inter-network traffic. And as the Internet has increased in importance, IXs have had to meet increasingly stringent reliability requirements.
