at the SC09 Conference
Fujitsu FLASHWAVE® 7120 Platform Delivers Intelligent Bandwidth to SCinet
PORTLAND, Ore. – November 12, 2009 – Fujitsu Network Communications, a
leading supplier of business, information technology, and communications solutions,
announced today that its FLASHWAVE® 7120 wavelength services access platform will
be deployed to support the SCinet Wide Area Network (WAN) at the upcoming SC09
conference. SCinet is built each year during the SC conference by university,
government, and industry volunteers to highlight cutting-edge platforms in
high-performance computing (HPC), networking, storage and analysis.
Two FLASHWAVE 7120 nodes will be located at local Oregon Points of Presence
(POPs) to transmit data to the SCinet WAN network at the Oregon Convention Center. A
third node will be on display in the SCinet Network Operations Center (NOC) carrying
traffic back to the convention center.
“As both an equipment supplier and
research entity, Fujitsu is astutely aware
that bandwidth requirements in the
research and education sector continue
to escalate,” said Stephen Carlton, vice
president of planning and product
management at Fujitsu Network
Communications. “To simulate realworld conditions, the SCinet WAN that
is being constructed at this year’s
conference will run at 300 Gbps. The
FLASHWAVE 7120 platforms we are
contributing to SCinet offer a compact
solution capable of delivering bandwidth
and functionality that is ideal for the
research and education segment.”
