Why Intel Cluster Ready?

Intel Cluster Ready establishes an industry-standard cluster architecture that lets you select, deploy and manage a high-performance cluster almost as easily as a desktop PC. This architecture helps to ensure interoperability across the complete HPC solution stack. It supports small to very large clusters and provides considerable flexibility for hardware and software innovation.

By choosing systems and software based on the Intel Cluster Ready architecture, you can:

• Reduce your purchasing and deployment timelines from months to weeks or even days.
• Be confident that your system and applications will work as they should right out of the box, so your design and engineering teams can be more productive immediately.

Why Altair?

Altair is a leader in HPC and industrial computer-aided engineering (CAE) software, with 25+ years of providing best-in-class products and consulting services worldwide. A one-stop shop for design software, Altair’s HyperWorks is the most comprehensive and widely used suite of CAE products in the industry, including best-in-class modeling, analysis, visualization and data management products.
