Previous“The Platform Computing partnership goes from strength to strength year on year.”
- Steve Nevey, Business Development Manager - Red Bull Technology
“Platform Computing came to us as a true innovation partner, not a supplier of technology, but a partner who was able to understand our problems and provide appropriate solutions to us, and work with us to continuously improve the performance of our system.”
- Steve Nevey, Business Development Manager, Red Bull Technology
“One of Platform Computing’s strengths is its support team which you don’t necessarily get with those from other companies. We can turn to Platform Computing for help when something doesn’t work and they are very responsive, no matter the time of the day.”
- Nathan Sykes, CFD Team Leader, Red Bull Technology
“Platform LSF was the perfect fit for our user community. Not only did it make it incredibly easy to move and schedule jobs, but it also meant that we could very quickly increase the utilization of new resources as and when they were needed. This could be up to as much as 100 per cent in just five or six weeks.”
- Dr. Marek Michalewicz, Director of computational research centre, A*Star
“Platform LSF is the scheduler of choice for many organizations in Singapore, so we were aware of the benefits it could offer to A*STAR.”
- Dr. Marek Michalewicz, Director of computational research centre, A*Star
"With Platform HPC, the master node is aware of resource demands of the jobs queued and what each node is doing. It will power down those nodes not being used, aside from keeping about 5-10 percent available at all times. When usage increases, the master node powers on what’s needed within a couple minutes."
- Chris Collins, Head of Research and Specialist Computing Support, University of East Anglia
"We don’t have to do as much work when releasing a new application or do as much new coding. Platform’s software was a clear leader from the beginning of the process."
- Chris Collins, Head of Research and Specialist Computing Support, University of East Anglia
“The Platform Computing partnership goes from strength to strength year on year.”
