The Network is the Bottleneck

• Intel
• 2.8 gigahertz Xeon chips
• Pentium4 is 3.06 gigahertz
• 10 GE Host Bus Adapter
• Dell
• Integrating GE Ethernet controllers on
  motherboard
• Apple
• G4 chip is 3X the Xeon chip
• Same as the IBM SP-2 supercomputer
• X Server (Velocity processor) 18.6 gigaflops
• Two 2 gigabit Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters
• PCIX bus rated at 10.2 gigabits
• 10 GE Standard Approved

Access to Data Storage will become a larger
bottleneck

Customer Pain LAN Congestion

• Ethernet LANs share bandwidth
• Data intensive streams degrade LAN performance
• Packets are not secure

What Users Experience

• Grid computing can be slowed by latency,
  which can be the primary bottleneck.
  Imagine trying to compute on something for which
  a large block of data must wait for the latency
  and bandwidth availability of a LAN
  before the computation starts."
