Nortel Network Case Study: Seoul National University (SNU)
Overview SNU was established in 1946 to become the first national university in modern Korean history. The company wanted high performance networking infrastructure to PEGASUS's cluster-type architecture, the SNU research team took on the hunt for the right supplier - their search led them to Nortel and its enterprise networking portfolio. A high performance Ethernet solution from Nortel is being leveraged to provide a powerful network infrastructure for the 180 systems that form PEGASUS, the fastest supercomputer in Korea.

Enabling VMware ESX Server VLAN Network Configurations for the Dell PowerEdge 1855 Blade Server
Virtualization allows for the creation of multiple virtual machines (VMs) that can run simultaneously on a single physical server. These VMs can communicate among each other and with other physical...
Performance Considerations for Network Switch Fabrics on Linux Clusters
In this paper the authors investigate the necessity of a high speed interconnect for Linux based clusters and the performance differences between Myrinet and Ethernet connected networks. The authors benchmark...
A Comparison of MPICH Allgather Algorithms on Switched Networks
The study discussed in this paper evaluates the performance of MPI_Allgather() in MPICH 1.2.5 on a Linux cluster. This implementation of MPICH improves on the performance of allgather compared to...
Ethernet Over SONET GFP, VCAT and LCAS
Enterprise networks are demanding Ethernet services to their Service Providers. In a time when capital is constrained, Service Providers want to use their present SONET/SDH infrastructure to transport Ethernet in...
TIA-942 Data Center Networking Applications: 10 Gigabit Ethernet Over Twisted-Pair Copper
In parallel and subsequent to the development of TIA-942, the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet working group published two twisted-pair copper standards, 1000 Mb/s Ethernet designated 1000BASE-T and 10 Gb/s Ethernet (10...
