With the popularization of AI and Big Data Analysis, the demand for HPC is continuously growing. HPC is a computing system where many server nodes collaborate each other to process huge volume of calculations at high speed. HPC platforms use interconnect products to interconnect many server nodes to realize high speed and high reliable data communication among the server nodes. In HPC, the most important thing is to optimize system performance as well as high functionality and high compatibility with 3rd party processors. Cornelis Networks’ interconnect products has competitive advantages in high functionality and is gaining the compatibility with 3rd party processors. This means that Cornelis Networks is greatly strengthen its existing market position.
Global Brain sees huge potential in the strong market position of Cornelis Networks. Its interconnect products are already deployed all over the world through its business through Intel Corporation, so, in Japan, the products have a lot of customers, mainly in enterprises and research institutes. Global Brain will provide hands-on support to Cornelis Networks in its business development in Japan and other Asian countries.
