Intel(R) UK High Performance Computing (HPC) facility enablesHPC providers win tenders on the latest Intel technologies throughout EMEA.
The HPC facility is based in Swindon and offers HPC hardware and software providers the ability to remotely test and benchmark solutions in order to bid for HPC tenders in EMEA. Not all companies have their own HPCtest and bench mark facilities as these are very expensive to maintain and run. In order for them to compete with the major Multi National Companies (MNC’s) in tenders they can book time on servers in Swindon. The facility has small HPC clusters using the latest Intel server based processors and other Intel based technologies. Apart from being able to use the latest and greates technologies, we are also able to be very flexible and adapt items such as storage or interconnect to specific customer requirements.
Most recently we were able to help a UK based company win an HPC deal at a UK university. Viglen is a leading British provider of innovative IT solutions to the public and education sector and has recently won a tender to provide an HPC cluster at Lancaster University, after testing and evaluating on our clusters!
Viglen think we offered a great service: “ It’s an excellent resource and gives us access to systems that we wouldn't otherwise have access to”, and ultimately “ It contributed to the win we had a Lancaster University” (http://www.hpcwire.com/offthewire/Lancaster-University-Selects-Platform-Computing-Solution-95336499.html)
