The benefits of clustered supercomputing go mainstream

The ability to scale out rapidly and cost-efficiently, excellent price/performance, the flexibility that comes with an open systems environment—these are not only traits of MareNostrum. They are some of the hallmarks of an on demand business, as well.

Companies of all sizes, in many industries, confront compute-intensive workloads. Until recently, however, cost, space and power requirements, and the skills needed for installation and management have conspired to prevent all but the largest organizations from deploying a clustered high performance computing solution for their toughest business challenges. That is changing, as more businesses are recognizing the accessibility of Linux cluster technology and the value it can deliver.
The MareNostrum supercomputer is an exceptional assemblage of hardware, software, storage and systems management tools that are, in fact, fast entering the mainstream—to the benefit of businesses everywhere.
