"By the way, Jason has been a great help. The testing would not have happened without him. Not only did he install MPI for me but emacs as well. He deserves a raise. Thanks again for all you have done. " -- Buff M. at SAIC

We are InfiniBand experts |
|
We integrated our first InfiniBand (IB) cluster back in 2003, which ended up on the Top500 list of Supercomputers. Since then, we have deployed hundreds of IB clusters across North America. These deployments allowed us to build a working knowledge on all aspects of the IB topology, to the point where we are able to utilize this expertise in determining optimum configurations to maximize efficiencies. With the growing deployment of multiple, multi-core processors in server and storage systems, overall platform efficiency and CPU and memory utilization depends increasingly on interconnect bandwidth and latency.
We also have long-standing relationships with all of the major InfiniBand vendors, which allows us to leverage this into faster turnaround times, better pricing, and outstanding support for your IB cluster.
Whether you're buying a new cluster, or upgrading an existing one, our engineers will work with you to determine which interconnect is best for you. From reviewing your application to your existing hardware configuration and network, we can then apply our years of experience in configuring, testing, deploying, and supporting your InfiniBand network.
