Technology

We employ the fastest multi-core CPUs and multi-channel, error-correcting memory as a foundation for all of our high-performance systems. These guarantee the best performance for any application you or your users plan to execute.

Additional acceleration is available through integrated NVIDIA Datacenter GPUs.

Large-capacity, high-bandwidth and low-latency storage systems are available integrated into any of our clusters.

Connections between systems enable the highest-bandwidth, lowest latency communication available through technologies including InfiniBand, High-bandwidth, Ethernet, and 100Gbps Intel Omni-Path.

Turn-key Customization

Microway offers customized systems to fit any budget, and will gladly assemble a proposal to match your requirements. Your cluster’s design specifications and quotation will be prepared by our expert team. Depending on the complexity of your cluster, team members may include individuals with HPC programming, hardware design, technical sales, or HPC system administration expertise.

All Microway systems are cluster-ready. Any server or workstation model which matches your requirements is available in a customized cluster. Groups of quiet WhisperStation workstations are available as small in-office compute clusters.

The software and network configuration of your cluster may be specified by your group or prepared by our experienced integrators.

Our proposals include all necessary specifications for your facilities personnel to verify suitable power and cooling. Those without centralized IT may speak with a technical account manager to ensure painless delivery and installation of their new compute resources.
