The Laureate Institute for Brain Research, a multi-disciplinary organization that correlates clinical content, imaging and genetic data of the human brain, has chosen Brocade solutions to power its new high-performance computing (HPC) environment. The decision was based on overall network performance, security and quality of service, as well as savings in capital and operational costs.

The Laureate Institute for Brain Research is a private, non-profit organization with approximately 100 computer scientists, physicists, neuroscientists, medical doctors, mathematicians, computer scientists and chemists who rely on highly resilient and advanced computing power to quickly process data in order to ultimately expedite root causes for mood and eating disorders. Laureate scientists use the Brocade network to study how abnormalities in brain systems related to social understanding and eating behaviors lead to the development of mood, social and eating disorders such as Bipolar Disorder and Anorexia Nervosa. The findings from this research program will help lead to improved treatments for individuals with social, mood and eating disorders.
