Custom Innovation Workshops for Cluster and Grid Computing
Univa UD's Custom Innovation Workshops help customers identify specific areas where their cluster computing approach could benefit from an open source grid approach. In each workshop, our experts in cluster and grid computing will work side-by-side with your in-house gurus to identify potential end-user cluster applications, to create or inform an ROI analysis around using such applications on a cluster, and to build a high-level roadmap for IT enhancement and growth strategy. Workshop OverviewOur innovation workshops were established to help companies identify scale-out inefficiencies and to show innovators how to leverage grid and cluster technologies within their application environment. With the expertise of Univa UD and our partners, your organization can identify opportunities to adopt cluster and grid technologies for reduced costs and improved productivity – including examining your landscape for the most eligible applications that would benefit from running on a cluster, and informing the ROI analysis around that effort.In preparation for the workshop, our expert facilitators will perform a detailed survey with key members of your team to determine in-house capabilities, business requirements and identify existing technology constraints. After analyzing the results, we will prepare strategic and tactical roadmaps, workshop presentations and brainstorming topics. We then spend a day with your team presenting findings and specifically targeting key areas to leverage cluster and grid technology. We will also lead brainstorming sessions to outline 3-4 future paths for IT/HPC evolution. Stakeholders will leave the workshop prepared to align the area business and IT owners with a strategic vision and plan. Engagement OptionsThere are two location options for your workshop:
