Force10 Cites Inroads in Super Computing Market

Force10 Networks announced that its E-Series switch/routers power four of the top 15 fastest supercomputers in the world, including one of the top five. As with most technology, research environments and national laboratories were early adopters of supercomputing technology. Among the leading research institutions that are leveraging the power of supercomputers, the Texas Advanced Computing Center (40), the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (10 and 22) and the San Diego Supercomputer Center (62) have deployed the E-Series to increase computational speeds. The company cited additional super computer deployments by government organizations and data-intensive industries, such as the oil and gas sector.
