Welcome To The Future of HPC
While other companies are cutting back their HPC investments, Sun continues to invest in HPC systems, storage, networking, and software to address the world's toughest HPC problems. Be it building an entry level cluster or the world's largest supercomputer, the
Sun Constellation System is up to the task. Later this month, we will be announcing the newest upgrades to the Sun Constellation System line, providing significant new performance boosts not only in CPU power, but in storage and networking performance. We have already sold PetaFlops of Sun Constellation Systems attached to PetaBytes of storage. Now we've put together a global HPC Sales team to help bring Sun Constellation System to an event broader set of commercial, education, and research HPC customers, and I'm really excited to be leading that new team.
Customers selecting Sun Constellation System for their HPC infrastructure are choosing the world's most open HPC platform. From our Lustre file system that powers over half the world's fastest supercomputers, to industry standard networking and CPU options, Sun Constellation System is built on open standards and open source software. And now, you'll also get the world's best HPC sales team working with you to solve your toughest HPC problems.
Marc,
We met as part of the team from GTSI along with SUN that made the presentation at NASA Ames a while back. You were there with Andy and Jonathan. I was part of the GTSI team. I made a number of recommendations during the RFP response process that would have improved our odds of winning that deal. Regrettably my recommendations were not implemented.
Even though we did not win that contract, I could see the level of commitment that Sun had to the HPC business.
I have 10 years of HPC business development experience much of which was with Northrop Grumman and I have run the HPC users group formally the BWBUG and now the HPC Tech Forum.
I have developed a complete business plan which could be used as a blue print for the HPC partner engagement model
Let’s talk when you have time.
I am now an independent HPC Consultant
BTW, very nice video
