Clusters and powerful HPC applications are enabling researchers, engineers, and designers to tackle larger problems and to reduce time to market. These capabilities fuel demand for increasingly larger and more powerful systems. This growth is causing multiple challenges for HPC datacenters. HP, the market leader in HPC and clusters, offers a comprehensive suite of solutions in its Unified Cluster Portfolio (UCP) to meet these challenges, with a wide range of open source and commercial software, and the latest in industry-standard technology.

HP BladeSystem offers advantages over traditional racked clusters, including superior manageability, reduced floor space, cabling, and minimized cabling. HP BladeSystem c-class enhances the density and modularity of blade technology with innovative power and cooling design and management. HP BladeSystem c-class is also available with the world's fastest interconnect, 4X Double Data Rate (DDR), providing the higher bandwidth and low latency needed for the most demanding HPC applications.

HP offers HPC-optimized clusters featuring the HP BladeSystem, with integrated high-performance networks and management infrastructure - offering the simplicity and affordability of pre-configured, tested, and supported solutions. A choice of operating systems, cluster managers and HP-MPI are available as integrated options for these BladeSystem-based HP Cluster Platforms, and ready for rapid deployment of the leading HPC applications and tools featured in the Unified Cluster Portfolio.
