University Of Texas Selects Force10 for 10GigE Grid

The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) at The University of Texas at Austin has selected Force10 Networks' switch/routers to provide a next- generation, inter-campus grid computing infrastructure. The Force10 equipment will initially aggregate Gigabit Ethernet connections from TACC and connects at 10-Gigabit Ethernet speeds across the Greater Austin Area Telecommunications Network (GAATN) to resources located on the main UT campus. The University of Texas at Austin is building a high performance computing grid to connect a diverse set of geographically distributed workstations, computational research clusters and storage devices.
