Simplified implementation and reference architectures

When it comes to implementing high-performance computing cluster (HPCC) solutions, the Dell directive is simple — provide world-class quality and value, while enhancing your experience with Dell. To that end, and to tailor a solution that meets your specific needs, our solution architects work hard to understand your business or scientific environments in terms of functional, technical, operational and business requirements.

Dell™ high-performance computing (HPC) clusters use best-in-class building blocks. Dell engineers test and validate these HPC solution architectures so that when you need an HPC solution, you can trust and use these existing frameworks. With this assurance, you can quickly deploy and start using your IT resources to solve new and ever more complex challenges.

Dell has a comprehensive list of service offerings that makes the cluster installation deployment easier. These include:

  • Data center assessment services
  • Rack and stack services
  • Custom factory integration (CFI)

Learn more about Dell service options.

In addition to these service offerings, Dell does testing and integration of HPC building blocks to simplify cluster deployment and maintenance. Some examples include:

  • Integration of Dell OpenManage™ system components into Platform Open Cluster Stack — Dell Edition 
  • Factory installation of Windows HPC Server® 2008 for faster cluster deployment
