Federal government researchers rely on High-Performance Computing (HPC) and very fast, low-latency networks to perform complex modeling and analyses of the climate, oceans, and other fields of study. These HPC environments require network infrastructures that can deliver high levels of network bandwidth, scalability, and availability.

Brocade meets the networking requirements for HPC environments by providing:

• High-performance, wire-speed, and cut-through solutions
• Dual 10 GbE/1 GbE speeds for enhanced flexibility
• Horizontal stacking for greater scalability
• A large, certified ecosystem of high-performance technology vendors
• An open standards-based development philosophy

By leveraging Brocade networking solutions, researchers can analyze data faster and at a greater level of detail, enabling them to provide more accurate information to key decision makers.

Other benefits of Brocade solutions for HPC environments include:

• Highest performance/density for the price, with a low TCO
• A broad choice of compute and storage vendors
• Eliminates the need for costly "fork-lift" upgrades
• Low energy consumption, reducing carbon emissions and costs associated with power and cooling
• Unsurpassed flexibility and scalability
• Proven end-to-end solutions for demanding HPC environments
