Sandia's network pulls together 265 buildings and 13,000 computer network ports and brings high-speed communication to some of the labs' most remote technical areas for the first time. It will save an estimated $20 million over five years through energy and other savings and not having to buy replacement equipment. Sandia expects to reduce energy costs by 65 percent once the network is fully operational.
