Higher Ed - Case Study; IBM Corporation
Georgia State University is a research university with an enrollment over 50,000 located in urban Atlanta, Georgia. As part of the Southeastern Universities Research Association (SURA), the university helped develop a shared computing grid called SURAgrid for research. Part of their support to the program was the deployment of a powerful computing system using IBM cluster nodes and storage systems. With this new system, Georgia State University has been able to donate more processing power and help their researchers by providing faster computing, safe data backup, and quick data retrieval.Links:
