Case Studies
Heriot-Watt University case study
Heriot-Watt University’s Institute of Petroleum Engineering runs a research programme, the Edinburgh Time-Lapse Project (ETLP), which relies on data that has been provided by industry sponsors, such as BP and Shell. The Institute recognised that its IT infrastructure could no longer provide the processing power or storage space that the research team needed for accessing and storing vital information for its pioneering research.
The University required a specialist High Performance Computing partner to facilitate a solution that focused on scalability, availability and rapid deployment while providing 100 terabytes of disk space to archive data. Following consultation with systems integrator, Esteem Systems, the Institute asked Esteem to design and implement a High Performance Computing (HPC) Cluster based on Sun Microsystems technology.
