Oxalya: A Step Up in Power Doubles the Benefits
French high-performance computing provider Oxalya boosts its offering with Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 series
Based in Paris, Oxalya is a French company that provides its clients with hosted high-performance computing (HPC) services delivered over a series of virtual cluster nodes. Its service is specifically for companies that use their own codes and for ISV applications. Clients are only charged for the compute power they use, and the Virtual Node* service delivers one of the best returns-on-investment available for this type of service. To maintain its market-leading status, Oxalya needs to ensure its customers are receiving the best possible service available. With this in mind, and aware of the needs of one particular partner, Alneos, Oxalya decided to benchmark the Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 series.
CHALLENGES
• Meeting customer needs: Oxalya has important customers who rely on its on-demand HPC services to run their core businesses. Customers’ HPC performance needs were growing, and Oxalya needed to meet them.
• The search: With its existing HPC server platform not providing enough processing power to meet growing demands and its own management costs also rising, Oxalya needed to find an alternative solution.
TESTED SOLUTION
• Comparing processor performance: Oxalya tested the Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 series, benchmarking it against its existing platform powered by the Intel® Xeon® processor 5400 series, running Code Aster*, a CPU-intensive GPL scientific software, which was installed and tuned by Alneos, a major partner.
IMPACT
• Twice as powerful: The Intel Xeon processor 5600 series delivered twice the performance of Alneos’s existing platform, powered by Intel® Xeon® processor 5500.
