QFabric scales to thousands of Ethernet ports. QFabric is a single fabric with 1GbE, 10GbE, 40GbE, and Fibre Channel connectivity for Layer-2 and Layer-3 switching, optimized for distributed compute and storage clusters that allows MPI, storage access and management networks to be consolidated into a single fabric.=0A=0AThis session, jointly led by Lawrence Berkeley National Labs (LBNL), discusses this unique, robust fabric architecture which builds upon the principles of Layer-2/Layer-3 Ethernet switch fabric design. LBNL will share their HPC application benchmark test results using QFabric, demonstrating how Juniper Networks QFabric optimizes key HPC applications and requirements. =0A=0ALearn about the metamorphosis of 10 & 40 gigabit Ethernet into a true fabric for next generation supercomputing and how to increase bandwidth and scale in cluster environments to enable the next generation computing clusters.
