Long before high-speed networking became standard, GVS was already solving the data bottleneck–starting with hot-swappable media in the '80s and pioneering Multi-CPU Routing (MCR) before Gigabit Ethernet even existed. Back then, moving 50MB was a breakthrough. Today? We move 65TB with ease. That’s over a million of those original drives–transferred faster than ever imagined. Discover how we got here.

High-Speed Networks with Multi-CPU Routing (MCR) – Purpose-Built for Imaging-Intensive Research Environments In scientific research labs, data isn't just big–it’s relentless. From high-speed microscopy to live-cell imaging, light-sheet systems, cryo-electron tomography, and terabyte-scale video capture, the demands placed on your network infrastructure are anything but ordinary.

GVS has engineered a network architecture specifically for environments like yours–where image acquisition systems continuously generate high-resolution data streams and require immediate access for processing, visualization, and archiving.

At the core of our solution is Multi-CPU Routing (MCR)– GVS-exclusive architecture that eliminates traditional networking bottlenecks by providing dedicated, high-throughput data lanes between acquisition devices, processing servers, storage arrays, and researchers’ workstations. This ensures ultra-fast data movement with predictable latency and zero compromise on integrity.

Our modern GVS Metropolis platform is built on next-generation Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC processors with PCIe Gen4/Gen5 expansion, supporting up to:

• Dual 100GbE or 400GbE network cards
• NVMe-over-Fabric (NVMe-oF) for lightning-fast access to storage
• 64G Fibre Channel switching for precision-controlled workflows
• GPU acceleration and RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) for real-time data processing without CPU overhead

Whether you're running a genomics pipeline, capturing continuous 3D imaging, or working with 16-bit image stacks at petabyte scales, GVS delivers an optimized data infrastructure that empowers your entire workflow—from microscope to model.

We also understand the value of your existing investment. Our systems integrate seamlessly with current Cat6/6a or fiber infrastructure and support zoned, department-level optimization–allowing you to prioritize workflows without interrupting others.

With GVS, every workstation, every instrument, and every dataset is empowered by a high-speed backbone that was built specifically for the pace of modern science..
