Intel has named SIE as the first "HPC Data Center Specialist" in Spain
SIE since 2015 has gone from participating in the Intel partner program from the Gold level to the Platinum level. This certification guarantees knowledge of the latest technologies from the world's largest manufacturer of processors for servers and computing nodes. From Workstations in the E3-1200 range to high-end E7-8000 processors, we contribute our knowledge to the projects we carry out.
It's also worth mentioning Intel's own platforms, which allow us to offer NBD (next business day) services around the world.
In addition, Intel has appointed SIE as the first "HPC Data Center Specialist" in Spain. Likewise, we sell the full range of Intel compilers and the different levels of Intel Composer including Intel Cluster Studio, the most complete version, which provides debugging, control and Intel MPI tools with great performance in large computing systems.
Intel also offers the full range of Xeon Phi cards, specially designed for scientific calculation on x86 technology. These cards are incorporated into the SIE Ladón equipment, making it possible to offer more than 300 Xeon compatible cores that allow executing programs that were initially written in Fortran 77.
European Information Systems has been working uninterruptedly since
1990 in the IT sector. Although initially he dedicated himself to networks
and communications, in 1999 he set up his first cluster at the CSIC and since then
2001 has maintained various R&D agreements with this body and with various
Spanish universities, in close collaboration with renowned researchers.
All this experience has allowed us to improve performance,
scalability and ease of use of our systems.
To this day, SIE Ladón has become a reference brand in the
HPC market in 3 large groups of hardware solutions:
- Low noise workstation, designed for researchers' offices.
- Shared memory machines, which allow Windows solutions and
Linux.
- Clusters based on the SIE Ladon OS system, which is 100% open source and
allows very robust and inexpensive Linux solutions.
SIE is a company with more than 17 years of experience in scientific calculation. Our company is qualified to face projects in which the client needs consultancy, hardware, software, high-speed Ethernet and Infiniband networks, installation and maintenance, giving support to the entire system, or to part of these elements. Today, European Information Systems is a benchmark in the HPC market.
Thanks to Intel's recognition as specialists in HPC, SIE consolidates its position in the Spanish market, as an expert in parallel computing systems. Having the support of a company like Intel helps us to be at the cutting edge of technology and to be able to offer our clients SIE Ladón equipment, with the latest technologies and being the first to launch them on the market.
In the field of "High Performance Computing" (high performance or performance computing systems), it is essential to have the fastest Intel processors, since many of the calculations performed can take weeks to process. The SIE Ladón clusters allow these times to be drastically reduced to days.
Success stories such as the clusters installed and configured in scientific calculation research departments of the University of Barcelona, Autonomous University of Madrid, Complutense University, Pablo de Olavide University, University of Vigo, IRB, IBIS, etc., have allowed researchers work in fields as varied as computational chemistry, genetics, cancer research, tidal forecasting, weather forecasting, etc.
The reliability of these platforms, together with the fact of the support that Intel gives us internationally, allows European Computer Systems to offer its solutions mainly in the Latin American market.
