Get your share of the fast-growing market for high-performance computing (HPC) clusters – including software solutions, systems, system software, and hardware components. Intel® Cluster Ready provides tools, resources, and a standard, easy-to-follow reference architecture to help you expand your role in the HPC ecosystem.
Empower your customers with the productivity and performance advantages of HPC clusters based on the latest Intel® Xeon® processors – and shrink time-to-market, reduce support costs, and drive revenues as you do it.
Increase the return on your product development efforts. Once your components are certified as Intel Cluster Ready, they can be used as building blocks in systems from a wide range of OEMs and system integrators – and run a long list of pre-qualified applications. Intel Cluster Ready architecture expands the HPC marketplace by making it easier for customers find it easier to purchase, deploy, and maintain an HPC cluster, even if they don’t have previous cluster experience or in-house expertise.
Innovate on a Flexible Platform: Intel Cluster Ready Reference Architecture
The Intel Cluster Ready architecture defines a consistent, flexible platform architecture for building interoperable HPC clusters. The Intel Cluster Ready reference architecture addresses the entire cluster environment, including requirements for hardware, software, manageability, and functionality, to help ensure each cluster component conforms to industry standards and best practices.
By offering a common platform architecture, Intel Cluster Ready makes it easier to develop, validate, and support cluster technologies. The Intel Cluster Ready specification defines a set of base requirements but leaves plenty of room for innovation once the base specification is met.
Ensure Quality: Validated Cluster Configurations and Verified Reference Designs
OEMs and platform integrators who use your components must certify them as part of their Intel Cluster Ready systems. To validate interoperability, they use Intel® Cluster Checker, a robust cluster diagnostics tool available to Intel Cluster Ready partners and customers. Intel Cluster Checker examines the system at both the node and cluster level to confirm that all components work together and can deliver optimal performance.
As a hardware components partner, you can use Intel Cluster Checker to help ensure your product meets relevant requirements of the Intel Cluster Ready specification. You can also share best practices with OEMs and platform integrators to help them integrate your components into their Intel Cluster Ready solutions.
