CERN, the world’s largest particle physics laboratory, has deployed the Force10 TeraScale E-Series in Europe's largest 10 Gigabit Ethernet network. CERN is also leveraging the E-Series to deploy the world's first production intercontinental 10 Gigabit Ethernet links to connect its Geneva-based campus with more than 500 research institutions worldwide.

“We determined that Force10 was best equipped to provide the density, scalability and, more importantly, the resiliency that we require to guarantee predictable network performance for our scientists and the universities to which we are connected worldwide.”

David Foster
Networking Group Leader, CERN

NOAA The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) is the world's largest archive of weather data and has deployed the TeraScale E-Series to add an unprecedented level of scalability to its high performance data center.

“By replacing our existing infrastructure with the Force10 E-Series, we know we have a resilient network that can take us through the transition to 100 Gigabit Ethernet”

Preston Carter
Senior Network Engineer, National Climatic Data Center

The Human Genome Sequencing Center (HGSC) at Baylor College of Medicine is one of three large scale genome sequencing centers in the U.S. The HGSC is on the cutting edge of medical research and human genome mapping and uses the TeraScale E1200 to connect all storage facilities and research clusters.

“Every day our scientists are processing massive amounts of data to support their research. The TeraScale E-Series delivers the scalability and resiliency we need to support further scientific research, ensuring that the network does not limit the scope of scientific research.”

David Parker
Manager of Systems, HGSC

“[Force10] has carved out a position at the high end of the market. Its leading market performance and density, combined with a high availability platform design, is particularly attractive in large data centers and high-performance computing environments where it can build fully non-blocking, scalablecore networks for a fraction of the cost of the other vendors.”

Mark Fabbi
Gartner

“The Force10 TeraScale E-Series, by combining high Gigabit and 10 Gigabit densities with greater resiliency, drives down both capital and operating expenses by reducing the number of switching and routing elements required to build and run a network.”

Mark Bieberich
Yankee Group

“We have not tested any other system that approaches the scalability and performance of the E1200.”
