Cluster Resources announced today the planned opening of a European base of operations in the United Kingdom to provide greater support and services to the European region. “We are very pleased with the growth our company is experiencing,” said Michael Jackson, President of Cluster Resources. “The UK facility will allow us to continue providing top quality service and support, but now with faster response times for organizations based in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, as well as broader coverage for global organizations.” The UK facility and other unannounced future expansions are due to strong sales of Cluster Resources’ innovative high performance computing management solutions. The continued growth resulted in Cluster Resources’ recent upgrade to their third headquarters location. For 2006, they are experiencing a growth rate estimated to be well over 100 percent from last year and have grown 60 percent to 100 percent every year over the previous three years. “The time is perfect for an expanded European base of operations,” said Jackson. “We appreciate the customer and partner relationships that have made this possible. The new facilities will allow us to provide added support and services, which will help us continue delivering 90-99 percent utilization for clusters and grids across the world with our Moab products.” Cluster Resources’ expanded support covers Moab customers, but also provides free support for Moab Cluster Suite and Moab Grid Suite evaluators. The UK facility will offer these services as well, assisting sites with their testing of Moab solutions.
