HPC) clustering implemented within financial services environments. These system configurations provide real-time trading floor complexity, cost, and management overhead. Types of data Several types of server data are being managed in business environments: Business Communication - Practically all - HP BL680c | 10 Gigabit Ethernet technology for industry-standard servers - Page 3
IPC. IPC is employed mostly for passing instructions and redistributing large amounts of data between for message passing, synchronization, shared memory, and remote procedure calls. Storage network adapters for each server. Figure 1 illustrates the fact that businesses may support as many as four - HP BL680c | 10 Gigabit Ethernet technology for industry-standard servers - Page 4
service (QoS) and failover, and it is designed to be low-latency, high-bandwidth, and scalable. The InfiniBand architecture specification peripherals such as disks. It supports several signaling rates and links can cause significant data loss. While the problem of potential data loss was addressed - HP BL680c | 10 Gigabit Ethernet technology for industry-standard servers - Page 5
by the NIC or switch. This significantly reduces latency and makes 10GbE more attractive for HPC environments. HP supported 10GbE media standards All HP supported media specifications for cable, connections, and connection modules employed in the design and construction of 10GbE networks are - HP BL680c | 10 Gigabit Ethernet technology for industry-standard servers - Page 6

servers - Servers that are located closer to end user machines than to origin servers at the backbone of the network. An example of an edge server would be a cache server as other speeds, and will operate in full-duplex mode. It will support a data rate of 10 Gbps using a pacing mechanism for rate - HP BL680c | 10 Gigabit Ethernet technology for industry-standard servers - Page 15
