Computer clusters based on Linux are a popular platform for many scientific disciplines. Linux clusters are an affordable high-performance solution, often built using commodity hardware with low-latency, high-bandwidth interconnects.

We have experience installing, configuring, and maintaining open source cluster solutions. Below is a list of services we provide.

Setup and configuration

• Installation and setup of cluster hardware and networking.
• Installation and configuration of cluster software, scheduler, and applications software.

Ongoing systems administration and security

• Operating system and cluster software maintenance and upgrades.
• Security updates.
• Disk management.
• Backups.
• User accounts.
• Monitoring of cluster nodes.
