With over 500 HPC deployments completed, the X-ISS team knows there is only one real constant – each cluster is unique and presents its own set of challenges. A recent deployment of a new 1400-node Dell cluster was no different. The client had...
An organization engaged in cancer diagnostics needed to leverage HPC cluster technology to provide for quicker turnaround time to end users. At the same time, not only did they need to ensure the clusters were fully managed but also to abide by complex...
A provider of seismic data processing services to the oil & gas industry was experiencing slower-than-expected data transfer rates between its Windows desktop users and the GlusterFS Samba high-availability storage solution recently installed for its new Linux HPC cluster. X-ISS quickly diagnosed the...
Visualization of 3D graphics can be an enormous benefit for organizations that deal with large volumes of visualization data and whose users are geographically dispersed. One such example is a company that provides seismic data processing services to oil & gas clients. As...
Personnel at a prominent engineering company in Houston, Texas, no longer have to stay up all night to make sure their pump design simulations finish on time and produce the desired results. Thanks to a Dell HPC cluster deployed and optimized by X-ISS...
When a long-time client added nodes to its HPC cluster, they asked X-ISS to customize the open-source monitoring system already in place to provide faster alerts at the first sign of a critical failure. The X-ISS team streamlined the monitoring system and aggregated...
X-ISS worked closely with simulation software developer ANSYS Inc. to design and build an HPC cluster that completes water treatment simulations in minutes rather than the hours or days once required. X-ISS created the HPC system using seven mid-level Dell servers and InfiniBand...
