49.0. "FDDI at CERN" by BERN01::DEY (PhV or Big wind, long talk, no rain) Thu Apr 05 1990 03:43
Cern Courier (International Journal of High Energy Physics) Nr.3 Vol 30
April 1990
Has a short notice about "Fibre optic networking"
Using prototype equipment based on a 100 Mbit/sec Fiber Distributed Data
Interface (FDDI) high performance local area communications network, and to
extend FDDI's applicability, CERN's Computing and Networks Division, in
collaboration with IBM and Hewlett Packard's Apollo Division, has transferred
data files between an Apollo DN10000 workstation and an IBM 3090-600E mainframe
with encouraging results. To care for its site-wide Ethernet network linking
over 2000 intelligent devices, CERN will shortly begin testing other
manufacturer's equipment on an FDDI 'backbone'. This increased communications
power will particularly benefit the four big LEP experiments, which together
are each expected to record some 10 Terabytes (10**13 bytes) of data during
the next few years.
Cheers Walter.
