Laureate Institute for Brain Research Depends on Brocade

The Laureate Institute for Brain Research, a multi-disciplinary organization that correlates clinical content, imaging and genetic data of the human brain, has chosen Brocade® solutions to power its new 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) edge-to-core healthcare networks and high-performance computing (HPC) environment. The decision was based on overall network performance, security and quality of service, as well as savings in capital and operational costs.

Founded in 2007 in collaboration with research divisions at the University of Oklahoma, University of Tulsa and the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation, the Laureate Institute for Brain Research is a private, non-profit organization with approximately 100 computer scientists, physicists, neuroscientists, medical doctors, mathematicians, computer scientists and chemists who rely on highly resilient and advanced computing power to quickly process data in order to ultimately expedite root causes for mood and eating disorders.

Laureate scientists use the Brocade network to study how abnormalities in brain systems related to social understanding and eating behaviors lead to the development of mood, social and eating disorders such as Bipolar Disorder and Anorexia Nervosa. The findings from this research program will help lead to improved treatments for individuals with social, mood and eating disorders.

Because it is a government-funded organization, the Laureate Institute for Brain Research must adhere to stringent HIPPA healthcare compliance regulations and help prevent loss or setbacks in valuable research data. As a result, the Laureate Institute for Brain Research required a highly secure networking platform that provided in-depth visibility into network security threats. Utilizing the network-wide embedded Brocade security solution for network intrusion detection and prevention, Laureate Institute for Brain Research is now able to detect, report and thwart network attacks across the entire network infrastructure in real time.
