"What most Gigabit Ethernet HPC sites could really use is an upgrade to 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GE)-if it could be done cost-effectively and reliably. Until now, that idea would generate hesitation and skepticism among knowledgeable decision-makers. But with Gigabit Ethernet already entrenched in the HPC market and providing a slew of advantages, only a few obstacles have prevented the widespread growth of 10GE. Those obstacles are quickly evaporating. With recent technology advances, pricing improvements, and proven vendors entering the market, the choice of 10GE for HPC clusters has become quite attractive." Full Story
