Glasgow Uni supports CERN research with high throughput network from Extreme
CERN?s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Switzerland is the focal point of a massive international collaboration to explore the nature of matter and the origins of our universe, but it creates a data deluge beyond the processing power of traditional data centres. The data is therefore sent out to a worldwide grid of 350,000 servers, so that it can be processed and analysed.

The cloud's the limit for new Arista, Brocade and HP switches
Cloud scaling will be all the switching rage at this week?s Interop. Three major vendors last week took their platforms deeper into and then beyond the data center, outdueling each other on server access density and software programmability, two key attributes needed for the virtualized goldmine called the cloud. And in so doing, they have raised the bar and perhaps set the stage for one of the more anticipated announcements in SDN switching from Cisco spin-in Insieme.
