High-performance computing (HPC) applications that solve complex, computationally intensive problems are widely deployed within academic and research communities and enterprises as they deliver significant business benefits. A key enabler for the broad adoption of HPC applications is the practice of clustering multiple industry-standard servers using a high-speed network to provide supercomputer performance, at a fraction of the cost of traditional supercomputers.The Cisco SFS 7012P InfiniBand server switch is a new class of data center infrastructure that delivers scalable, high-performance, low-latency server switching to build and manage high-performance clusters and grids that deliver the full potential of HPC applications. The Cisco SFS 7012P is optimized for very large, high-density HPC environments to deliver non-blocking, high-bandwidth, low-latency switching in a cost-effective form factor.
