| Successful implementations
|
IBM collaborated with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) and the State of New York to establish the Computational Center for Nanotechnology Innovations (CCNI). The mission of this US$100 million partnership is to advance semiconductor technology to the nanoscale, while enabling key nanotechnology innovations in the fields of energy, biotechnology, arts and medicine. The core computation resources for the center are a large IBM Blue Gene®/L system and a large Linux cluster with the supporting IBM HPC software infrastructure.
The University of Toronto, working with a regional health network, needed to develop a new infrastructure for large-scale and timely analysis of data for improved diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Working within fiscal constraints and limited resources, the university elected to address its challenge with an integrated, automated, end-to-end solution from IBM that dynamically optimizes the use of IT resources. This implementation has delivered improved server utilization, reduced IT administration costs and most importantly, improved dynamic delivery of IT resources as professionals need them.
