DuPont: Accelerating Innovation and Savings with R&D Cloud
Case Study: Intel® Xeon® processor 7500 series and 5600 series
Enterprise Server High-Performance Computing Virtualization: Dynamic Resource Management
Using Intel® Xeon® processor 7560, DuPont targets 20x speed-ups versus legacy systems and reduced capital expenditures
DuPont is one of the world’s premier science companies. Its Central Research & Development (CR&D) IT leaders wanted to provide the company’s scientists with the power and flexibility of cloud-enhanced computing for its scientific application portfolio. DuPont CR&D chose the Intel® Xeon® processor 7500 series as the foundation of its science-focused high performance computing (HPC) cloud. Now the processor’s performance, memory capacity, and virtualization capabilities are providing up to a 20x speed-up for critical applications compared to legacy systems. This enhanced capability helps DuPont to create a more dynamic research environment which, in the words of Tim Mueller, CIO for CR&D, “is transformational.”
Challenges:
• Using technology to advance science. High-performance computing provides greater predictive capability across many scientific domains and is essential to DuPont’s vision of being the world’s most dynamic science company. New, on-demand models of HPC capability are required to meet the diverse and (often) unpredictable nature of critical research projects. Historically, finding flexible and cost-effective solutions has been problematic.
• Virtualizing without sacrifices. DuPont CR&D wanted virtualization’s flexibility and cost savings without sacrificing the performance required for its most demanding HPC applications.
