Today's data-rich academic research projects require powerful and reliable high-performance research computing solutions. In response to this need, Dell helps to plan and make sure that IT personnel:
1. Determine how they can design and implement a scalable solution.
2. Understand how much data will be analyzed.
3. Foresee any implementation problems and find solutions.
4. Determine how to optimize, maintain and support systems to ensure maximum availability.
The Dell Difference
Dell™ high-performance computing clusters (HPCC) are extremely affordable and widely available to a broad range of academic institutions. With cluster configurations, colleges and universities can provide more students with hands-on experience by giving them the opportunity to take part in ground-breaking research. They can also enjoy significant price-performance benefits and highly flexible management solutions ideal for the critical needs of today's educational research environments. These benefits include:1. Implementation at your own pace.
2. Low costs on hardware and software.
3. Long system lifetime.
4. Low costs by managing the environment.
5. Short procurement cycles.
6. Recycling of outdated nodes.
7. Low total cost of ownership (TCO).
As the scope and complexity of computational needs continue to increase at colleges and universities, IT managers and administrators are compelled to seek appropriate and affordable solutions. An HPCC provides the computing power and speed necessary to keep schools on the leading edge in today's high-profile, competitive market.
