Brocade’s core network solution to support University Research
Brocade and the University of Florida have jointly announced the upgradation of the Brocade’s core network which is connected with the institution’s HiPerGator supercomputer and external research networks, such as Internet2 Innovation Platform. The deployment of Brocade MLXe Core Routers with 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) blades and Brocade ICX Switches will enable the university’s faculty, students and researchers to transfer large amounts of data at high speeds across the campus and globally to a wide range of research partners.
Jason Nolet, Vice-President, Data Center Networking, Brocade, commented, “The research projects being conducted by the University of Florida and other educational institutions place more focus on the network, making it a critical lifeline due to the massive amounts of data shared worldwide. The university’s deployment of the Brocade MLXe 100 GbE solution provides it with the necessary bandwidth to support its research and the opportunity to focus on a near-term and long-term roadmap that supports SDN and Big Data.”
“All high-energy physics researchers in the southeast United States use the University of Florida’s network as a resource and all of the data flows through Brocade routers. The 100 GbE Brocade MLXe routers enable us to keep up with demands and are also what the campus needed to develop a clear technology roadmap supportive of software-defined networking (SDN),” said Erik Deumens, Ph.D., Director of Research Computing at the University of Florida.
With these upgrades, the University of Florida has improved access to the HiPerGator supercomputer.
