Silicon Mechanics Higher Education & Research Supporting Academic and Research Institutions with Reliable, High-Performance Technology Solutions HOME INDUSTRIES HIGHER EDUCATION & RESEARCH Higher Education & Research Solutions University researchers are under pressure to deliver faster results, often with limited budgets or even while awaiting grant funding. With research programs fueled by data-intensive computing methods, budget optimized, high-performance systems are the pathway to future discoveries. These critical systems must also execute multiple workloads with unpredictable volumes and computationally intensive tasks without missing a beat. Optimized Silicon Mechanics Approach From individual workstations to large-scale HPC systems, both principal investigators and researchers have many choices to make when evaluating compute and storage solutions. These systems must meet your unique criteria: Can a new solution integrate seamlessly into my existing infrastructure? Can I find a cost-effective solution that works within the limits of my grant-driven budget? Is the technology customizable to meet my department’s variable performance needs? Can my current infrastructure be adapted to utilize the latest advancements so I can optimize my existing resources? Will new hardware meet requirements for scalability, efficiency, and reliability? If something goes wrong, can I easily connect with support? Proven Solutions As a leading systems integrator, Silicon Mechanics empowers organizations to transform the world through open technology.
