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.
