The companion Woven Dashboard performance monitoring application, also being used by Sandia, automatically discovers and graphically depicts the fabric's topology, and offers a constant, at-a-glance display of the load-balancing effect of the Active Congestion Management process.
"Woven Systems is proud to count Sandia Labs among the cutting-edge customers choosing the EFX 1000 Ethernet Fabric switch solution," said Jeff Thermond, Woven's president and CEO. "In test after test, Woven's massively scalable Ethernet Fabric is proving its ability to deliver sustained 10 GE performances. And like Sandia, other customers also value the tremendous versatility afforded by deploying a multi-path, meshed Ethernet fabric in data centers and compute clusters."
