Dell announced today initiatives with Clemson University,
Indiana University and Arizona State University to provide
community research computing solutions and services that will help
solve some of the world’s toughest issues. Through big data
research analytics, storage services, open source frameworks for
research and new large-data management, archiving and digital
curation services, Dell will help universities best support
groundbreaking research. Dell plans to support the universities’
efforts through the power of Internet2.
“Working with the Internet2 community members from higher
education, industry, government, and not-for-profit organizations,
we recognize the pivotal role research plays in driving
innovation,” said John Mullen, vice president and general manager
for education, state and local government, Dell. “We know the
importance of creating and offering solutions and services that
will best serve researchers to ultimately help them solve complex
problems and life-changing discoveries.”
Clemson University Brings Training and Support to Research
Community
Dell and Clemson University will provide training, outreach,
advisory and support in addition to on-demand research computing
and storage capabilities based on Dell’s research computing
solutions. Simply gaining access to large-scale research computing
systems that enable discovery and innovation can take researchers
months. Additionally, lack of access to advisors, technical support
and training on how best to maximize computational resources can
hinder a project.
Dell’s solutions and services will be combined with the strength
and experience of the Clemson University research computing team to
provide a holistic service enabling rapid access to research
computing systems plus the computer scientists and research experts
who support them. Designed to work with grant-based procurement
models, the new service will enable both on-demand and shared
managed cluster “condo” style buy-in allowing for broader access to
raw compute power for various budget or procurement needs.
“We are excited to partner with Dell to deliver this innovative
new offering through Internet2 NET+ Services and contribute to the
changing paradigm of cloud service delivery in high performance
computing,” said Jim Bottum, CIO, Clemson University. “This is
revolutionary in the sense that institutions can now enjoy
enhanced, on demand access to not only research computing and high
performance resources, but also advanced support and training,
leveraging this comprehensive offering to enhance science and
research capabilities on their campuses and build upon Internet2’s
groundbreaking Innovation Platform.”
Indiana University seeks efficiency with Dell Cloud
Indiana University plans to leverage the Dell Cloud with VMware
vCloud® Datacenter Service via Internet2 NET+ Services. With the
service it is now able to integrate and manage cloud services that
bring increased security, seamless interoperability, superior
workload management and a tailored approach that includes Dell
ProSupport™.
"Indiana University continues to assertively partner with
leading firms through Internet2 NET+ Services," said Brad Wheeler,
vice president of IT and CIO, Indiana University. "Dell has
long-earned its strong relationship with Indiana University and
this collaboration with university peers enables us to collectively
shape the future of cloud services for higher education."
Arizona State University Brings Ideas to Forefront in New
Research Incubation Initiative
The need for scientists, researchers and academics to process,
study and extract knowledge from large sets of data, in terms of
quantity and complexity, is becoming increasingly
critical. Both researchers and data analysts are searching for
more effective and efficient methods to discover new knowledge and
derive new insights. Dell is working with institutions including
Arizona State University to help address these needs by developing
a big data as-a-service concept through an Internet2 research
incubation initiative. This could include open source tools,
analytical database tools and other emerging data service
options.
“We are at the forefront of a new approach to discovery based on
our ability to apply analytical tools to the massively scaled sets
of data being produced by a new generation of research tools and
instruments and new methods of collecting data,” said Gordon
Wishon, CIO, Arizona State University. “This partnership with Dell
and Internet2 provides us with a unique opportunity to develop an
unprecedented service combining world class infrastructure with
economies of scale that will serve the research and higher
education communities for years to come.”
This component-based approach to data access, analysis and
storage for research will allow analysts and scientists to perform
their own data preparation; identify appropriate analytical,
presentation and data curation tools and practices; and rapidly
validate business requirements and metrics. It will offer an
environment to facilitate data pipelines that can be deployed
directly to a cluster, enabling analytics against much larger data
sets and will support multiple orchestration needs across
environments.
