CIQ Supports Successful HPC Transformations at University of Montana
Summary
Nodes were constantly failing without anyone knowing, there was no monitoring, nothing was set up correctly, and the 100 users on the cluster began to dwindle due to the poor performance. Fuzzball combines the best of cloud, hyperscale and enterprise with that of traditional HPC, resulting in a lower barrier to entry and increased security, supply chain confidence and scale. Zach Rossmuller, CIO of UM, said, "Equipping our researchers at the University of Montana with the computing resources they need to do their best work is paramount to furthering our institutional mission. The CIQ team helped us map out a game plan to make it happen, faster than wed imagined possible and with a sharp eye on project management. From the base operating system, through containers, orchestration, provisioning, computing and up to cloud applications, CIQ works with every part of the technology stack enabling organizations to focus on their core competencies, driving business-transforming innovation.
