ATIPA CLUSTER: Receive The Best Performance While
Stretching the Value Of Every Dollar
In
a balanced computational environment, hardware and software
improvements have contributed equally to the increase in application
performance. What matters most is the shortest time to solution.
Whereas Intel and AMD are migrating to multiple cores within a
single processor, our experience has already shown that balanced
processing on multi-core processors can be a significant issue.
Therefore it becomes a deciding factor when it comes to performance
evaluation.
The Atipa cluster is designed to provide a comprehensive and
comparative way of achieving cluster performance. Atipa engineers
use recognized benchmarking programs to ensure the performance of
the cluster. These analytical tools measure differences due to
hardware or software changes on the same cluster. We have discovered
that successfully running all the tests provides some assurance that
the cluster is configured properly. LINPACK benchmark is used to
test cluster performance.
Open Source Software Support
Open Source
developments have yielded significant enhancements to
state-of-the-art operating systems (Linux OS) and tools (Apache and
others). Being a strong supporter of open source solutions, Atipa
has achieved much experience in multiple accretions of open software
that combine these tools into single offerings. In addition, there
exist many efforts to extend the desktop environment to medium and
high-performance computing. Whether clients are in need for a
powerful desktop workstation, RAID storage server or HPC cluster,
Atipa will deploy a complete working open source solution to benefit
end users.
Scalability and Stability of Atipa Clusters
The
continued success of deploying an Atipa cluster requires both
scalability and capacity. The complex modeling of the computation
has led to an overwhelming demand for “adding more processing power
in the near future” among scientists and researchers. Specifically
the large scale predictive scientific simulation has been adopted as
a critical component of scientific endeavor, i.e. parameter studies,
convergence studies and small to medium scale parallelism. One
aspect is certain: the solution will be contingent on “the more
processors there are, the faster it is to obtain results”. The Atipa
cluster is built on this concept and is based on the commonality of
the commodity servers. The “on-going growth” is fostered by adding
more nodes at any time to the Atipa cluster; avoiding painful and
expensive experiences - guaranteed!
Support Compliance: At Atipa, Once A Customer Is Always A
Customer.
Atipa treats each client as a partner in
technology. Clients desire to be associated with a technology vendor
who understands clustering technology inside and out. This working
relationship allows clients to successfully manage and implement
changes. The entire Atipa team, from sales to support, takes the
time to understand the client’s sophisticated environment and
business goals. As the client’s needs expand, they find Atipa’s
specific knowledge and skills to be accommodating. As clients
are ready to migrate into today’s newer technology, they find
Atipa’s staff very helpful.
Various and flexible choices are available, please contact sales@atipa.com or "request for a quote"for your specific requirements.
