|
| HPC Systems, Inc. offers customized server and cluster solutions to meet any business needs. With our help, you can customize a cluster based on an array of different platforms from a 1U single server, high availability blade solution, to a high performance 16 core super computer. |
|
| Recently, the availability of off-the-shelf commodity powerful microprocessors and high-speed networks as well as in part by the rapidly maturing software components available to support high performance and high availability applications, have made AMD based clusters very popular. The benefits of clusteing includes: |
|
| Cluster Building Block |
 |
|
Ease of manageability |
| Low cost for system administration, single point-of-control for large set of servers and nodes |
| Workload manager and isolation of non-production workloads |
| Improved availability by providing component redundancy, hot plug power, and cooling components and service processors |
| Excellent scalability |
| New low-cost cluster alternatives, by providing clustering possibilities for small set of servers |
| |
|
|
| HPC Systems, Inc. has many different solutions for different range of clusters that are possible. Our technical sales engineers can guide you through our cluster building block to arrive at the solution that is optimal for you. |
