Higher Education & Research Solutions
University Researchers are under pressure to deliver faster results, often with limited budgets or even while awaiting grant funding. With research programs fueled by data-intensive computing methods, budget optimized, high-performance systems are the pathway to future discoveries. These critical systems must also execute multiple types of workloads with unpredictable volumes, and computationally intensive tasks without missing a beat.
From individual workstations to large-scale HPC systems, both Principal Investigators and Researchers have many choices to make when evaluating computational and storage solutions. There are several unique criteria these systems must meet, but there is one common requirement: finding a solution that will support your research.
- Can a new solution integrate seamlessly into my existing infrastructure?
- Can I find a cost-effective solution that works within the limits of my grant-driven budget?
- Is the technology customizable to meet my department’s variable performance needs?
- Can my current infrastructure be adapted to utilize the latest architectural advancements in cloud, containers and HPC so I can optimize my existing resources?
- Will new hardware meet requirements for scalability, efficiency and reliability?
- If something goes wrong, can I easily connect with support?
