Q. Who are your key target customer(s)? The low-hanging fruit comes from the market segments that require a clustering of compute and/or storage devices, namely, High Performance Computing (HPC) and Storage Area Networks. Additional customers will users of cloud Computing and the rapidly growing Edge Computing market. The HPC customer segment, one that urgently needs a faster interconnect for their computing clusters to run sophisticated scientific simulations, is eager to experiment with new technologies. After the validation period, these would become paying customers and highly respected reference sites. Q. Is there any protectable intellectual property that differentiates the company’s product or service from those of its …show more content…
Q. What is the product? LinkExpress™ is a complete networking interconnect including all software and hardware necessary to set up and manage a system. The fabric is fully software-defined and controlled with a single, unified virtual memory space across the entire cluster. It is the perfect fabric for the creation of hyper-converged racks. Q. What are the benefits of LinkExpress? LinkExpress, GigaIO's breakthrough extreme connectivity, creates a shared memory systems that connects many discrete server and storage nodes into a single system, scale-up to one for: • Extreme connectivity for breathtaking performance • High bandwidth and low latency connectivity between PCIe devices. • Heterogeneous configurations – any server, any storage, any GPU. Any device that supports PCIe. Q. How is Link Express different from other connectivity products? LinkExpress™ is the industry’s highest performance I/O Interconnect, running 100X faster than existing data center networks because it bypasses the bottlenecks created by network conversion, which is integral to their architectures. Instead, multiple racks of storage and compute servers can be easily and elegantly plugged in to create one giant “super-server” using LinkExpress™. This allows data located anywhere within the LinkExpress connected super-server to be transferred directly to its destination in nanoseconds whereas in any existing, typical computing cluster that same data would be caught in
At this point during our configuration, we have all of the hardware implementation in place. We will be utilizing seven servers, rather than the initially proposed four. The servers and networking components are configured. Once we acquire licence from OnApp, we will be able to install the OS onto the servers. As of now, all of our servers are connected and ready to be used. Once the desired operating systems are installed onto each servers, we will be able to configure core networking services in order to cluster them. In addition, we have acquired appropriate subnet mask and IP ranges to be used for our nodes. All our hardware will using static IP addresses.
Description and relevant performance metrics: Digital Computers with 2688 Intel Itanium Processors and 384 MIPS Processors distributed amongst 10 single image NUMA-based clusters. Individual clusters have a compute capability in excess of 190 million MTOPS
In the transport topology, each advanced PC is joined with a primary link alluded to as the transport. Hence, as a result, each computerized PC is specifically associated with each distinctive advanced PC inside of the system.
The aim of work is to provide service guarantees when multiple synchronous requests are present with high disk throughput. To address this problem we consider BFQ and modified versions of BFQ. It is found that MBFQV1 gives a better performance when compared with the BFQ. MBFQV2 is the suggested new disk scheduler which preserve both guarantees and a high throughput. In MBFQV2 we observed that the throughput, speed of transfer were better compared to the other schedulers for the normal size applications.
Typical data centers can occupy from one room to a complete building. Most equipment are server-like mounted in rack cabinets. Servers differ in size from single units to large independently standing storage units which are sometimes as big as the racks. Massive data centers even make use of shipping containers consisting of 1000’s of servers. Instead of repairing individual servers, the entire container is replaced during upgrades.
You have been hired to upgrade a network of 50 computers currently connected to 10 Mbps hubs. This long-overdue upgrade is necessary because of poor network response time caused by a lot of collisions occurring during long file transfers between clients and servers. How do you recommend upgrading this network? What interconnecting devices will you use, and what benefit will you get from using these devices? Write a short memo describing the upgrade and, if possible, include a drawing of the new network.
Network Based Virtualization is abstract storage of data applications from the host machine. This is well achieved through fibre channels connection between the machines and the servers running virtualization. The respective operating systems on the separate machines are not a factor to consider as they work independently. For it to achieve its expectations, the following services must be provided as below:
Ethernet switches, routers and bridges will be needed to assist the data as it moves from computer to computer whether within the store or for communication between all six stores.

Deliverable 1: The Failover Manager and Multipath I/O roles will be installed on each host. VMs can be created or existing VMs can be moved into Failover Manager where they will be managed. Multipath allows the use of multiple connection between devices which provides redundancy.
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a gathering of PCs that are associated together in a small, localized region to correspond with each other and offer resources. Information is sent as packets. The most broadly utilized LAN innovation is the Ethernet and is indicated in the standard IEEE 802.3. Ethernet utilizes a star topology as a part of which the individual devices are connected with each other by means of dynamic network hardware, for example, switches. Star topology permits clients to effectively extend and include more workstations. With the Star Topology set up, the Ethernet system would be picked utilizing 100BaseTX standard, Cat5 UTP links with information rates of 100Mbps.
b. Uses high-speed networking technologies to give servers fast access to large amounts of disk storage
LefTechs logical and physical layout will be address through a new and innovative approached called, Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI). This most commonly uses the same type of set up as a Token Ring. LefTechs mission is to become one of the largest, fastest and leading technology companies over the next 5 years. We believe that this type of set up will be the most cost effective.
Atlantic Computer is a manufacturer of servers and other high-tech products. Following the growth of the internet there has been an increase of demand for cheaper, Basic Segment Servers. Atlantic Computer, currently having a 20% market share in the High Performance Server market, has decided to expand their product range and enter the Basic Segment market.
