Simple and Easy

“Windows HPC Server 2008 was so easy to set up, out of the box, that we did it ourselves. It’s a great tool to teach students how to use an HPC system, as we can teach them to use it quickly and easily.”

- Michael Flachsel, Head of Infrastructure Group, Technical University Berlin

The Technical University of Berlin used a range of predominantly UNIX-based HPC solutions. But, in keeping with the university’s policy of adopting the latest innovative technology, executives were keen to test a Windows-based HPC environment for staff and students.

In April 2008, Microsoft and Dell took the chance to offer the university a trial of Windows^®  HPC Server 2008. Now, students can train to use and maintain high-performance clusters, making complex calculations through a simple Windows interface.
