SCinet & Exhibitors
SCinet supports the revolutionary applications and experiments that are a hallmark of the SC Conference and enables exhibitors to demonstrate the advanced computing capabilities of their solutions and services, whether in large-scale or one-on-one demonstrations.
SCinet offers free WiFi services, along with 1, 10, and 100 gigabit Ethernet connections to support demonstrations, business meetings, and other events that exhibitors host in their booths. At SC17, exhibitors used the advanced capabilities of SCinet to facilitate more than 35 experiments and demonstrations as part of the Network Research Exhibition. From virtual reality particle physics to impromptu big data sharing through data transfer node experiments, these one-of-a-kind demos are made possible by partnering with SCinet.
