In the new global economy, speed-to-market is an essential component in getting, and staying, ahead of the competition. High Performance Computing (HPC) concentrates on this critical need. It uses compute, interconnect and storage power to help solve highly complex problems, perform research and computation-intensive analysis, or run computational-intensive workloads faster and more efficiently. The outcome is faster time to results.

Matching Applications With Raw Power Using Sun Customer Ready HPC Cluster
High-Performance Computing (HPC) clusters provide a mechanism for solving problems that cannot be solved without massive amounts of computing power, and they incorporate not only servers, storage, networks, and interconnect mechanisms, but also the software to manage and distribute workloads across the cluster infrastructure.
Seeing the Future with The Sun Visualization System
Visualization technology is increasingly essential, letting professionals across a broad
spectrum of commercial and scientific disciplines see the information behind their
data.
Sun, Voltaire, Fluent
The combination of the Sun Fire servers, Sun Blade server modules
and Voltaire's Grid Backbone family of products help Fluent users
maximize their productivity by allowing more jobs to be run in a
shorter period of time.
