T-Platforms Cluster Solutions

Modular cluster systems are an ideal solution for enterprises and SMB in all science and business sectors where large data volumes are processed, and performance is critical.

 

Today cluster architecture is most widely used when high performance computer systems are built: 70 per cent of the world's most powerful supercomputers in the Top 500 list are clusters. Unlike mainframes (supercomputers with a traditional architecture), clusters are based on mass-produced components and consist of standard servers - computational nodes connected with high performance system network (interconnection). The cluster architecture of solutions offers users of computer systems with supercomputer-level performance a number of significant advantages:

 

  • the best price/performance ratio;
  • high level of scalability: it is possible to increase system performance by means of adding standard computational nodes;
  • high fault tolerance: in case of computational node failure it is easily replaced while the system keeps on working;
  • easy maintenance;
  • low total cost of ownership (TCO).

 

T-Platforms works in the following fields:
  • development of ready-to-use comprehensive data processing and storage solutions, based on cluster architecture, which are streamlined for each customer's specific applications;
  • development of cluster solutions based on its own hardware and hardware from leading vendors, such as IBM, Sun Microsystems, HP etc.;
  • multilevel services: from research, configuration choice and system design to maintenance for the whole lifetime;
  • delivery and setup of equipment and its integration with the existing enterprise infrastructure.

 

Besides, we offer:

 

  • leasing of cluster hardware;
  • three-year warranty;
  • more than 30 authorized service centers in various Russian cities;
  • convenient technical support: in case of any failures the customer can contact the manufacturer directly.

 

T-Platforms cluster solutions have the best price/performance ratio in the Russian market, meeting the highest international requirements for performance and fault tolerance. T-Platforms is the first Russian IT company with patents in the field of cluster solution development. It also developed its own advanced electronic components for supercomputer systems. The product line of T-Platforms cluster solutions includes the full range of the most advanced technologies and also a wide choice of tools for development of parallel applications, management and monitoring tools. T-Platforms offers ready-to-use hardware-software computer centers with pre-installed special and applied software configured for the customer's specific tasks. T-Platforms solutions can be delivered along with storage systems and a parallel file system, and also with traditional NAS and SAN architectures.
