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 DL360 | 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 DL360 | 10 Gigabit Ethernet technology for industry-standard servers - Page 4

It supports several signaling rates and links can cause significant data loss. While the problem of potential data loss was addressed - HP DL360 | 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.
