PSC systems support technical computing functions such as research and development, engineering, and design in organizations that include government laboratories, academia and industry. Often our systems are used as an integrated part of our customer's in-house systems. Others use them in a stand-alone mode. Through the planning, implementation, and operation of our own facilities, we have encountered and solved many of the problems in providing critical computing support to your technical functions. At a strategic level, we also have the experience to help integrate your technical computing requirements into the overall corporate information architecture, where there is often difficulty in understanding and incorporating the requirements of the technical functions and how they fit with other corporate priorities.
Most companies look for ways to protect and maximize their current investment in computing systems.
In 1999 we developed CLAN, a high performance, dual operating system compute server cluster based on Intel processors. This is the fourth generation of compute clusters built at PSC over the past ten years. In implementing CLAN, we have dealt with many of the critical issues, including dual booting with NT and Linux, batch scheduling, accounting authentication and security. Matching application requirements to hardware, software and network solutions. Most IT solutions today require an integrated solution.
