Government

As government organisations tackle fundamental problems in mathematics, science and engineering they are faced with large quantities of data that must be collected and analyzed.

Grid solutions can provide the government sector with coordinated, transparent and secure sharing of compute resources between departments and across geographically distributed sites.

Government related research institutes use grid across the world to harness the full potential of complex and heterogeneous computing environments.

Education

In several countries governments have initiated nation wide programs connecting schools and/or academic institutions in networks, further enhancing the foundation for a knowledge society. Grid is applied in a number of situations to improve manageability and performance of such networks, ultimately adding to the success of these ambitious and important projects.

Research

Research institutions use Grid solutions to advance collection and analysis of vast amounts of research data, thus fueling innovation. In many different areas, ranging from simulation, modeling, design and engineering, researchers require access to significant compute power.

By supporting a wide variety of hardware and software environments, Grid Computing provides the research sector with coordinated, transparent and secure sharing of compute resources between departments and even across geographically distributed sites.

Grids improve access to HPC resources by forming a pool of supercomputers, compute clusters and desktop clusters that provides continuously available, transparent compute power that can be used throughout the organisation.
