Perhaps the biggest difference between Entropia and other computing alternatives is scalability. To add more power to Entropia, IT staff need only install the client software on additional networked PCs within your organization. Complex tasks are broken down by the Entropia server and sent out to these PCs to be processed in parallel. Each additional machine on the network adds an incremental amount of power and speed, but no additional manageability problems. The enterprise system can be expanded behind your firewall to multiple departments, buildings, or even entire sites worldwide.
Scalability is virtually limitless.
In short, your existing IT staff can create virtual supercomputers - thousands of nodes deep, yet with a very shallow price tag. The current and future success of any life science company is dependent on intellectual property - the very structures and targets you are screening. In order to protect your data, the Entropia platform was designed with comprehensive security features that provide multiple levels of data protection. Triple DES encryption safeguards both data and directory structures with additional symmetric encryption mechanisms to ensure that only your Entropia server, which assigns and schedules tasks, communicates with your client machine network. Each client machine on the network, in turn, is also protected by Entropia's virtual operating environment, preventing any unauthorized access to sensitive files residing on the individual PCs.
