HPCC (High Performance Computing Cluster) Solutions

Brocade in partnership with HPCC Systems offers High Performance Computing Cluster (HPCC) technologies to Commercial and Government clients.  To meet the requirements of data-intensive computing applications, HPCC Systems from LexisNexis Risk Solutions utilizes Brocade networking solutions to interconnect its High-Performance Computing (HPC) clusters. With their completely non-blocking architecture and line-rate performance, the Brocade network solutions help optimize application performance for HPCC Systems.

In particular, Brocade MLXe Routers enable HPCC Systems to deliver unparalleled performance on a network that requires both high capacity and a flexible network infrastructure to handle the long-lived flows and massive levels of “Big Data” generated by users.

HPCC Systems offers a proven, data-intensive supercomputing platform designed to help enterprises process and deliver Big Data analytical problems. As an alternative to Apache Hadoop and mainframe-based offerings, HPCC Systems provides a consistent data-centric programming language, two processing platforms, and a single architecture for efficient processing. Customers such as financial institutions, insurance carriers, insurance companies, law enforcement agencies, the federal government, and other enterprise-class organizations leverage HPCC Systems technology through LexisNexis products and services.

The Brocade MLXe provides the interconnection for the HPCC Systems Data Refinery Cluster (Thor) and the Query Cluster (Roxie), which experience explosive levels of traffic every day. The Thor cluster consumes vast amounts of data, and then transforms, links, and indexes that data. The Roxie cluster provides separate high-performance online query processing and data warehouse capabilities. The industry-leading 10 GbE and 100 GbE density on the Brocade MLXe allows HPCC Systems to meet the capacity requirements of its network today, while also providing investment protection for future bandwidth needs.
