Scalable Informatics Case Study: Making Supercomputers Super-Fast

Scalable Informatics uses Intel® technology to accelerate its customers’ high-performance computing clusters and storage systems

When owners of high-performance computing (HPC) and storage clusters aren’t getting the performance they need, they come to Scalable Informatics for help. The rapidly growing company specializes in helping its customers achieve exceptional results with computationally demanding and I/O-intensive workloads. To help customers break through HPC performance barriers, Scalable Informatics relies on Intel® technology.

CHALLENGES

• Speed up customers’ research and analysis. Provide increased performance for supercomputers and storage used in business and academia.
• Boost energy efficiency. Increase processing and storage capacity while reducing energy use.
• More power in the platform. Standardize on a powerful, scalable processor for the JackRabbit* and associated siCluster* platforms produced by Scalable Informatics.

IMPACT

• Accelerated performance. The Intel Xeon processor 5500 series boosts performance by an estimated 400 to 500 percent for customers using the Scalable Informatics platforms as compared to previous-generation systems.
• Reduced energy use. Servers and storage platforms with the Intel Xeon processor 5500 series enable HPC infrastructure consolidation, reducing energy and support costs.
• Increased competitiveness. With the Intel Xeon processor 5500 series, the JackRabbit storage platform is even more competitive compared to mass-produced systems.
