High-Performance Computing Is the Primary Driver in Change in Data Center Architecture Apr 22, 2008 URL: http://www.advancedtrading.com/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=207401350
TABB Group Partner Bob Iati discusses high performance computing's impact on server growth in Tabb Group's Chart of the Month.
Iati says:
*Sell side institutions are striving to create a smaller footprint in their data centers.
*Nearly two thirds of all data centers are dedicated to HPC and that number is increasing rapidly.
*Forty five percent of institutions cite increased volumes or advanced trading as the main change agents for server infrastructure.
*Performance is the number one criterion for server replacement, as speed and complex routing strategies are growing even more critical.
