Deploying 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) into HPC Clusters, Server-to-Server / Server-to-Storage Infrastructure and Workstations over CX4 Copper Interconnects

Full HPC 10GbE Switch (Clusters) Report

The advent of 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) over CX4 copper cabling offers a cost-effective means of extending high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity to many network areas requiring the added performance advantages of 10GbE. In particular, 10GbE CX4 connectivity can now be extended over a great number of servers and clusters, and it offers an affordable, standards-based solution in areas previously dominated by expensive proprietary fabrics, such as server-to-server and server-to-storage infrastructure.
