Power of Intel® Itanium®2 |
 |
Our HPC solutions leverage the computing power of the Intel® Itanium®2 processor which has established new records for floating point processing.The evolution of the Intel® Itanium® Processor Family confirms this leadership enabling customers to upgrade their systems with even more powerful processors. |
A flexible architecture with exceptional performance |
|
Basis Bay Jazz Series Symmetrical Multi-Processing (SMP) servers benefit from the Flexible Architecture for Multiple Environments (FAME) architecture designed and developed by Bull using standard component assemblies as the building blocks of larger systems. This scalable and powerful architecture enables Basis Bay Jazz Series servers to deliver the best performance/price ratio of all 64-bit processor servers currently available in the market. |
HPC software environment |
|
We provide an integrated HPC software environment for standalone servers as well as for clusters. This software suite features a complete programming environment (compilers, libraries, debuggers). Most components of such environment are open and non-proprietary tools. The use of optimized Open Source software allows customers to work in full confidence with this environment for developing expertise and knowledge that could be reused. Moreover, a comprehensive set of scientific and technical applications have been ported to Intel® Itanium®2, giving a wide choice of software to users of our HPC Solutions. |
Cluster management |
|
Basis Bay cluster solutions are easy to build and run thanks to powerful tools for platform and interconnect management. The main advantages of Basis Bay’s offers are:
|
A Real choice for clustering architecture |
|
We provide clustered solutions for applications needing more power than what a single server can deliver. Our solutions have the advantage to provide the customer with the ability to specify organisation cluster architecture according to the present requirements of the organisation's applications and not just for economical reasons.
|
Clustering for scalability |
|
Our HPC solutions provide an efficient way to build clusters which interconnect multiple servers into a single computing resource. Through partnerships, Basis Bay is able to provide clusters based on Jazz Series nodes and high performance interconnects for high-end applications.
