Whether or not you have a budget in mind or funding in hand, you’ve no doubt wondered what you get for your money when purchasing an HPC cluster. If you had more money, would the value be equally enhanced? If you spent less, would the value still be there?

These are all valid questions. To help you get answers, we have created an HPC pricing sheet that offers a side-by-side comparison of HPC systems based on budgets of $150,000, $250,000 and $500,000. You can see how computing power and storage capacity ebbs and flow along with the system pricetag. We’ve also created columns to give you a side-by-side cost comparison based on your decision of whether or not to include Infiniband connections.
