Concept and Mission

There are no limitations on the type or amount of knowledge one can ever explore.  Atipa Technologies continuously interacts with IT executives in the public, government and private sectors to further explore their visions for innovation and transformation of today’s rapidly changing technology environment.  These interactions have helped us to better identify some common needs and concerns:

• A set of engagement models we can deploy in the market of a highly promoted technology.
• Methodologies to produce consistent, efficient accountability on a daily basis.
• Simplify financial challenges by validation from leading players in the HPC arena to offer leading edge new features.

As government agencies, universities, and businesses are subjected to ever increasing inquiry to improve efficiency and be ever more attentive with their use of public funding, it is necessary to adopt alternative and innovative approaches to provide more cost effective services. 

Before we present our recommended HPC system configurations, we first assess the clients’ most critical needs in a real-world environment. Then we address the following items:

• Will new cutting-edge technologies process the client’s workload more efficiently?
• Will new operating models make the system easier for people to use?
• Will new technologies and operating models have a trade-off in implementation and operating costs?
• How freely will the client be able to upgrade and expand in the future?

These questions help us to anticipate the clients’ current and future needs and provide them with an optimal working model of the system within their budget.
