MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 29, 2006--Setting a new standard for 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance, switching latency and port price, Force10 Networks(R) today introduced the S2410 data center switch. Supporting 24 line-rate 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports and Infiniband-like switching latency of 300 nanoseconds in a compact form factor, the Force10 S2410 establishes the following three critical benchmarks:
-- Industry-leading 10 Gigabit Ethernet port density in a one rack unit platform
-- Industry's lowest Ethernet switching latency
-- Industry's lowest 10 Gigabit Ethernet port pricing
"In networking environments that support parallel applications, Ethernet latency has typically been too high to meet HPC requirements, creating a niche for low latency Infiniband and proprietary interconnects," said Helen Chen, a Distinguished Member of Technical Staff at Sandia National Laboratories. "Together with the RDMA Network...
