Tsinghua and Shenzhen Universities Deploy Force10

Tsinghua University and Shenzhen University, two of China's leading universities, have deployed Force10 Networks' E-Series platforms to build 10 Gigabit Ethernet campus networks. Beijing-based Tsinghua University, China's leading engineering university, is building a new 10 Gigabit Ethernet campus network to provide more than 60,000 students and researchers with Internet and intranet access, the bandwidth to collaborate on data-intensive computing projects and a variety of other advanced networking services. Tsinghua's new 10 GigE network will connect with the university's existing campus network and to CERNET, the Chinese Education and Research Network.


Shenzhen University City, an educational complex that includes subsidiary campuses for Tsinghua University, Beijing University and the Harbin Institute of Technology, has also deployed the Force10 E-Series as the foundation of its next-generation network. The Force10 E-Series creates an advanced networking infrastructure across the three campuses and provides connectivity and shared resource applications to students, researchers and faculty throughout Shenzhen University City. Financial terms were not disclosed.
