ADVA participates in high speed demonstration at SC11 conference

ADVA FSP 3000 used in 100Gbit/s LHC Data Movement Demonstration by Caltech, University of Michigan and University of Victoria

WHEN: Tuesday, November 12-18, 4.10 p.m.-5.10 p.m
WHERE: SuperComputing ‘11, November 12-18, 2011, Washington State Convention Center, 800 Convention Place, Seattle, WA 98101

Demonstration of LHC Data Movement at a Rate of 100Gbit/s 
Caltech, University of Michigan and University of Victoria have joined forces for this demonstration at the SuperComputing 2011 Conference. For these transfers, a single 100GE connection will be terminated using the Brocade 100GE router. A similar router will be used in University of Victoria.  The University of Michigan will use its MiLR infrastructure, augmented with the FSP 3000 DWDM equipment from ADVA Optical Networking and switches from Cisco, to connect to a single Dell Server using the latest Mellanox 40GE NIC. ESnet will carry the 40GE connection between Starlight, in Chicago, and SC11 in Seattle, where it will be merged into the 100GE wave.

Caltech's FDT Data transfer application will be used to exchange data from storage to storage and demonstrate extremely high end-to-end bandwidth for sharing large LHC datasets in near real-time. This is a preview of a possible future LHC site configuration relying on a few powerful servers to enable low latency, large dataset sharing and access.{hwdvs-related}3{/hwdvs-related}{dmMaps strt="1321047591" DO NOT EDIT/REMOVE, HIDDEN ON THE FRONTEND ;) }
