What do we do?

For over 8 years Linvision has been active as an independent Linux cluster integrator in the area of High Performance Computing. We deliver our systems, knowledge and hands-on experience to research divisions of organisations like Akzo Nobel, Dow Chemical and universities like the Delft University of Technology.

What does a Linux cluster do?

Numerical simulations with e.g. Fluent®, ANSYS CFX®, MSC Marc®, MSC Nastran®, ABAQUS® etc that run on a Linux cluster, offer an economical and time-saving solution for research where traditional lab-scale experiments would be too time-comsuming and expensive. Save time and money: Linux clusters are the ideal means of obtaining the necessary computational power.

Why do you need us?

Building a Linux cluster is more than merely linking up computers. Allow us to present the 3 key steps to building a solid and reliable calculation machine:

	Good preparation: Every simulation requires a specific approach to the design and composition of your Linux cluster. It makes a big difference whether you want to run several parallel FEA jobs or perform a single, complex CFD-analysis. Good advice is essential for making the right choices.

	The best components: Are you going to opt for a Linux cluster composed of a 32-bits system with Ethernet, or will you decide for a 64-bit shared memory machine. Every job needs different hardware combined with tailored software, such a a properly installed and configured Linux operating system, queuing, management and monitoring software, a network file system and middleware.

	Proper aftercare: We're sure your hands are sufficiently tied by your own work. Why don't you outsource the management of your Linux cluster to specialists? Make clear agreements with your suppliers on maintenance and make sure you have an extensive guarantee in order to protect your investment. You can also consider opting for a lease construction. And get the best out of your Linux cluster by training users and administrators.

	Linvision offers all the above products or services. You can call us for any one of these steps. But why not play it safe and involve Linvision in the project as a whole? It's up to you.
