Roadmaps and visions II---Getting ahead, staying ahead
Bjorn A. Andersson · 2006
In today's complex, competitive, and regulated global economy, scientific and commercial organizations alike need to innovate quickly, speed time to results, improve product quality, and reduce risks for their communities and their shareholders. At the same time, organizations face very real limitations in terms of real estate, power, and cooling. Hot and crowded data centers are clogged with legacy servers that are now underpowered and overtaxed. In addition, disjointed additions to clusters and grids have resulted in a complex web of systems that are often difficult and expensive to manage. As organizations seek to consolidate and scale HPC deployments, Sun can offer extreme power, flexibility, and choice with its complete portfolio of HPC technologies and solutions. With innovative and industry-leading modular x64 (x86, 64-bit)servers, resource and system management software, fast and reliable storage, and a world-class support and consulting practice, Sun has extensive experience designing and deploying HPCinfrastructure.
