Many technologists interested in the future shape of the IT industry envisage computer processing power becoming available on a massive grid, drawing parallels with industries such as electrical supply where computing like power is bought as a utility commodity.
Modern examples of this prediction are clustered servers. Processing power, or nodes are bolted together to form a single entity, where the overhead of joining nodes together is minimal and the addition of processing power is linear. The continued economic and technological advancement in the micro-processing industry is lowering the costs and increasing the popularity of clusters.
Logicalis has embraced these changes in the industry and invested in understanding the enabling clustering software. Logicalis can point to hugely successful projects in R&D and the BioTech industry where High Performance Computing (HPC) has taken root. Furthermore, our range of experience has spread from operating systems to infrastructure projects such as Citrix server forms and into the database layer where we have designed, implemented and supported customer deployments of clustered RDBMSs such as Oracle 10G.
If you are interested in deploying clustered servers in your organisation please contact Logicalis and discuss your requirements with our HPC specialists.
