Enjoy easier deployment of high performance computing (HPC) clusters. Developed with leading hardware and software vendors, the Intel® Cluster Ready program makes it simpler to purchase, deploy and manage an HPC cluster. Choose a certified Intel Cluster Ready cluster based on the Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 series to unleash more parallel processing performance for your toughest HPC challenges.

Purchase
Take the risk and complexity out of buying an HPC cluster. With certified Intel Cluster Ready systems, you can find the right cluster configuration right away and count on components to work together right out of the box.

Find participating Intel Cluster Ready hardware and systems vendors

Deploy
Speed time-to-value. Certified Intel Cluster Ready clusters and registered Intel Cluster Ready applications are pre-tested for interoperability, so you can deploy with confidence.

Find participating Intel Cluster Ready software vendors

Manage
Reduce total cost of ownership (TCO). Intel® Cluster Checker helps keep components working together over the cluster’s lifetime, to increase availability and save time for IT departments.

Helping make HPC simpler and more accessible
Intel Cluster Ready works with industry groups like the HPC Advisory Council, an organization for high-performance computing research, outreach, and education. Recently, the HPC Advisory Council added the Intel Cluster Ready Certified Janus Cluster to their High Performance Cluster Center. This 16-node cluster features the Dell PowerEdge* with Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processor X5570, Mellanox ConnectX*, and more. The cluster will be used for applications best practices, high performance computing research activities, and for end-user support. See all the Janus Cluster details.
