HPC Integrators is celebrating its third-year in business by introducing the One Rack Service Pack that packages together essential HPC system monitoring and management services designed for cluster computing systems of under 150 nodes, or generally for any system that fits into one rack. 

“We work with a lot of customers who are project managers within larger organizations where most of the budget went to purchase the computing system itself, leaving a gap as to who will actually take care of the health of this large investment. Once we begin working with a customer they realize how affordable our outsource HPC services are, and the value is very high, because we take care of the system administration, freeing up countless hours for more research and development," said Nate Fuhriman, HPC Integrators CEO.

HPC Integrators fills a unique market need by providing remote HPC system administration services for smaller computing systems. Scientists and engineers that utilize HPC systems of less than 150 nodes to aid in their research and development efforts often cannot justify hiring full-time staff to administer their system. In many cases, this leaves the task of complex system monitoring and maintenance to the researchers and engineers themselves, which takes them away from their core job responsibilities.

HPC Integrators One Rack Service Pack

The One Rack Service Pack is a remote HPC services package that contains essential services to ensure users have the piece-of-mind their cluster systems are operational and productive with ongoing system health monitoring and proactive system maintenance services.

• Operating system installation (RedHat, SuSe, Fedora, CentOS)
• Application installation and maintenance
• Monthly system health checks, including hardware temperatures, utilization and bottleneck reporting
• Controlled OS and application upgrades
• Regular system backups
• Responsive same-day trouble-shooting

“We have used HPC Integrators for several projects, and Nate has done a great job in exceeding expectations on those. He is able to come up with the right solution for various types of projects in the HPC space we have assigned to him, and is not afraid to take on challenges. More than anything, he is excellent to work with personally and professionally - and that very important to us, and to our customers. I have great respect for Nate's HPC knowledge and expertise, and have full confidence in him to successfully complete any HPC implementation project he undertakes, and to do with great customer satisfaction,” said Deepak Khosla, founder and CEO of X-ISS, a leading IT solutions company.
