NOVATTE, Bright Computing Team Up

Singapore-based NOVATTE to deliver compute-ready cluster solutions with pre-installed Bright Cluster Manager; two engineering schools at Nanyang Technological University are first customers

SINGAPORE, and SAN JOSE, Calif., March 24 -- NOVATTE, the leading provider of supercomputing solutions in Asia, and Bright Computing, a leader in cluster management software for high performance computing (HPC), today announced their partnership and two new customers. NOVATTE will install Bright Cluster Manager software on its GPU and CPU HPC systems, to deliver supercomputing clusters that are easy to deploy, use and support for enterprise, government and education mid-market customers in Asia.

Similar to the United States, the mid-market in Asia represents a significant opportunity for HPC systems vendors. According to Steve Conway, IDC Research vice president for HPC, governments in Asia are actively encouraging industry to embrace HPC as a means to enhance productivity and competitiveness.

"There is significant pent-up demand across the world, including Asia, for workgroup HPC systems that sell for less than $100,000," Conway said. "From now through 2014, IDC expects the Workgroup to be the fastest-growing HPC segment, with healthy growth also in Departmental systems selling for $100,000 to $249,000."

NOVATTE's primary focus is easy-to-administer HPC and GPU systems spanning both Workgroup and Departmental segments.

NOVATTE's Twin-Based Supercomputers and eXXtreme GPU Cluster series are available in four packages that are quickly customized to meet customers' specific application requirements. Combined with Bright Cluster Manager, these systems provide a compute-ready platform that enable users to effortlessly tap into the power of supercomputers.

Scientists at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore are the first to take advantage of the NOVATTE-Bright Cluster Manager bundle. The NTU School of Materials Science & Engineering purchased a CPU/GPU hybrid solution from NOVATTE, and the NTU School of Computer Engineering ordered an eXXtreme GPU cluster.
