IBM, Intel and Cisco Open New Computing Center
Posted on: Tuesday, 22 January 2008, 06:00 CST
IBM, Intel and Cisco have opened a high-performance computing center, expanding IBM's existing HPC facility in Montpellier, France.
The expanded state-of-the-art high-performance computing (HPC) center will offer customers, business partners and independent software vendors the ability to test and benchmark analytic software, engineering, aerospace design and other high-performance applications.
The center will be equipped with a mix of 45nm and 65nm based quad-core Intel Xeon microprocessors on 32 IBM BladeCenter servers, interconnected by Cisco infiniband and ethernet switches.
IBM said that the opening of the center combines the world's fastest cluster computers from IBM with the high-performance infiniband and ethernet networking technology from Cisco and Intel's most advanced multi-core processors. Together these technologies provide customers a comprehensive test-bed to simplify the set-up and operation of their high performance infrastructure.
Dave Jursik, VP of sales of deep computing at IBM, said: "We're pleased to expand our Montpellier center with new HPC technologies from Intel and Cisco. This new capability will leverage the HPC resources and expertise in Montpellier and help IBM bring the benefits of high-performance computing to departmental and mid-scale users. Customers and partners, for example, will be able to size, test and benchmark critical applications such as Fluent."
