SC07 selects AFS to facilitate conference's high performance network
American Fiber Systems (AFS, a provider of Reno dark fiber solutions) announced today that it has been selected to provide optical broadband networking facilities for SCinet and SC07, an international conference on high performance computing, networking, storage and analysis, being held in November in Reno, Nevada. Through the agreement, AFS will deploy fiber optic access directly into the Reno Sparks Convention Center (RSCC) to connect the center to major network nodes located in Reno. 
SC07 is not your typical trade show and SCinet is not your typical network. Held November 10-16, SC07 provides the ultimate environment for network researchers, scientists and industry leaders to showcase high performance computing, networking, storage and analysis. Attendees will see firsthand how these advances are directly impacting the progress of research, education and commerce. SCinet serves as the technical platform for show exhibitors to demonstrate these advanced computing resources from their home institutions and elsewhere by supporting the most advanced supercomputing and grid computing applications and experiments. Designed and built entirely by volunteers from universities, government and industry, SCinet will use the fiber facilities provided by AFS to create and connect multiple 10-gigabit per second (Gbps) optical circuits to the show floor, thereby linking the center to the most powerful research and commercial networks around the world. "The AFS private optical network has been built to support the latest technologies like those exhibited at the SC conference," commented Mike D'Angelo, VP of Sales and Marketing at AFS. "Our company is driven by the desire to remain the clear choice in the west for any organization running high bandwidth applications." D'Angelo added, "AFS is proud to be associated with a conference of this caliber." In addition, the network facilities and fiber optic access infrastructure that will be deployed by AFS to support SC07 will remain in place at RSCC to enable the city to continue to attract conferences and shows that require advanced networking for its exhibitors and attendees. "The partnership with AFS and the SCinet team has resulted in a long-term benefit that will help us continue to attract conferences and shows that require advanced networking for exhibitors and attendees," said Knud Svedsen, RSCVA vice president of sales and marketing.
