PowerEdge Servers

HPC Gaining Traction in Australia
High Performance Computing (HPC) has been on a growth spurt, especially down under in Australia. The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), Australia's national science agency has a new system, nicknamed ‘Pearcey,’ that will drive a new era of big science and healthcare. By analyzing and modeling enormous amounts of data, CSIRO can implement advanced clinical treatments that enhance individual and community health benefits. The Pearcey system will also connect to the CSIRO Bowen Research Cloud, which is built on Dell PowerEdge technology, and provides CSIRO researchers with access to hundreds of flexible data and compute pools designed for collaborative research.
Future-Ready Economies & Tech Trends
Dell’s Enterprise business executives made their way to the East Coast to meet with key influencers to provide perspectives on industry trends, thought leadership, and to address the Future-Ready Economies findings. Dell conducted research with Harvard University on the future-readiness of cities at the Strategic Innovation Summit on Enabling Economies of the Future. Experts there found that communities should focus on three key enablers:
1) Attracting and nurturing human capital
2) Fostering a collaborative, growth-oriented commercial environment
3) Building an enabling foundation of technology, telecom, and physical infrastructure
