(NYSE: DLR), the global data center and colocation company, announced today that its Dallas and Houston facilities are housing and enabling an enterprise high-performance computing (HPC) cloud solution from Nimbix. The two companies have established this alliance to offer specialized HPC solutions to clients in the oil and gas industry.
HPC cloud solutions are an alternative to legacy IT infrastructures because they are faster to deploy, easily scale to uses and business cycles, and require less capital and operating investment.
"The combination of high-performance computing and cloud technologies is a powerful solution, with significant client benefits," said Steve Hebert, Nimbix Chief Executive Officer. "Clients who need immediate, high-performing computing solutions for shorter time frames will realize significant efficiencies."
