Performance Computing (HPC) clustering implemented within financial services environments. These system configurations provide real-time trading floor information and trading analytics Merging LAN, data, and storage traffic onto a single fabric network, also known as a converged network (CN) Server - Compaq DL590 | 10 Gigabit Ethernet technology for industry-standard servers - Page 3
compute nodes. HPC Cluster computing is a typical example using IPC. IPC is employed mostly for passing instructions Attached Storage (NAS), File System, iSCSI Targets and Initiators, and Fibre Channel (FC) adapters for each server. Figure 1 illustrates the fact that businesses may support as many as - Compaq DL590 | 10 Gigabit Ethernet technology for industry-standard servers - Page 4

This additional, half duplex mode which could cause significant data loss. While the problem of potential data loss was addressed with data buffers and carrier-sensing - Compaq DL590 | 10 Gigabit Ethernet technology for industry-standard servers - Page 5
affects how long a packet takes to complete transmission, from first bit sent to last bit received. Queuing or buffer delays increase with congestion and are an 10GbE more attractive for HPC environments.

network connectivity. HP Dual Port 10GbE Server Adapters The NC522SFP serve adapter and the NC524SFP Dual Port 10GbE Module are eight lane (x8) PCI Express (PCIe) 10 Gigabit network solutions offering the highest bandwidth available in a ProLiant Ethernet adapter. The NC522SFP PCI Express version - Compaq DL590 | 10 Gigabit Ethernet technology for industry-standard servers - Page 10
ships with two SFP+ cages suitable for connecting to DAC or fiber modules supporting SR, LR, and LRM fiber optic cabling. The NC524SFP allows customers to provision their HP ProLiant DL370 G6 and ProLiant ML370 G6 servers with 10Gb bandwidth. Figure 5.
