When in 2007 a study on e-research in Flanders (Belgium) identified, among other things, the need for more support and infrastructure for grid and high-performance computing, the government established the Flemish Supercomputer Centre (VSC, see insert below). The VSC project brings together the five Flemish university associations to align and integrate their existing supercomputer infrastructure, to make their expertise available to the public and private funded research and to develop a competitive grid and HPC infrastructure available to all researchers in Flanders by 2010. The Flemish universities have been tuning their efforts since then to build a grid of super computers clustering the existing super computers on different locations and providing connectivity for the new supercomputer planned for 2010.

Network connectivity systems, the no-man’s land of IT system development? Arcadiz Telecom helps redefining the framework of data centres.
Leuven, 11 November 2008 -- A clear trend is taking the data storage industry by storm. "Green" is redefining the framework of data centres across the globe as the IT industry is seeing costs related to power, cooling, and space impact the bottom line.
Three years of power and cooling can equate the initial cost of the data centre. "Fortunately new techniques and new technologies allow for significant reductions in first-cost, on-going management costs, and reductions in non-renewable resource consumption for voice/data cable infrastructure, says Marc Vandeputte, Director Business Development of Arcadiz Telecom, a Belgium-based specialist provider of transmission networks.
Data creation is growing by 60 percent each year, in good economic times and bad. But even as storage costs go down on a per-byte basis, businesses are spending more on storage each year because of data growth and power consumption. As a consequence, capacity is no longer the single criteria driving IT decisions. Performance, scalability, and manageability are also key requirements, while performance expectations must at all time be met. This often means that servers have to be relocated to new data centres with optimized cooling and with a means of high speed communications between the data centres.
Transmission specialist Arcadiz Telecom offers highly energy efficient solutions to connect data centres with either low power certified active C/DWDM solutions or passive certified C/DWDM solutions consuming no power at all.
“Sustainable data access and data storage solutions allow IT departments to realize significant improvements in cost/performance and power/space density. The high-performance solutions Arcadiz Telecom offer will give you fast data access for mission-critical decision making, leaving you the footprint and electrical power to scale your storage solution,” says Jos Vermeylen, Arcadiz Telecom’s CEO.
Arcadiz Telecom’s solutions also support new applications and products such as:
- IBM Z10 Mainframe
- Disk Mirroring over Ethernet
- IO-Virtualization
- HSM, ILM
- Video
New supported protocols include 5G InfiniBand and 8G FC.
- Speeds up to 40G are off the shelf available
- 100G implementation is in development.
