Survey of Network Types and Vendors in High‑Performance Computing (HPC) Environments
The Intersect360 2016 survey of 474 HPC sites covering 723 compute systems, 633 storage systems and 638 LANs reveals that Ethernet and InfiniBand dominate system interconnect, storage and LAN networks, with Mellanox and Cisco accounting for over half of installations, while newer technologies such as 10 GE, 40 G, 56 G InfiniBand and Omni‑Path show evolving market shares driven by bandwidth and latency demands.
