GraphStream Scalable Computing Platform (SCP)
 

Fully integrated, cost-efficient, scalable computer systems, based exclusively on mainstream open-standard architecture and leading-edge Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) components

Manageable, reliable, high-performance system configurations at a wide range of scales, from a single server up to hundreds of cluster nodes

Optimized to support the most advanced technical and visual computing applications in energy, finance, manufacturing, media, medicine, national security, and science

Real-world application efficiency maximized by appropriately balancing and tuning compute, memory, graphics, interconnect, storage, and system-software resources

Straightforward building-block system configuration using standard rackmount modules

Industry-leading build quality and attention to detail

World-class systems engineering and support

Proven track record plus non-proprietary pure-COTS architecture equals minimum supplier risk

Highly competitive pricing
