The Need to Address Complexity in HPC - an IDC Multi-Media whitepaper
IDC has made a “multi-media whitepaper”, sponsored by Sun, on HPC available at:
Earl Joseph, from IDC, delivers an interesting overview of the HPC marketplace.
IDC is estimating that the HPC market will grow about $B/year - from $11B in 2007 to about $15.5B in 2011
“In IDC’s view, Sun Microsystems is one of the few system vendors with the potential to address nearly the whole HPC market” - IDC
“Sun is attacking HPC system complexity on multiple fronts - hardware, software, storage, and networking - with the goal of building ‘ease-of-everything’ into all its offerings. HPC vendors that take this approach significantly increase their chances for satisfying user requirements and exploiting the revenue growth projected for the HPC market.” - IDC
