Speakers: * Dave Teszler, US Practice Manager for HPC, Sun Microsystems * Ramesh Joginpalli, Division Manager, Commercial Solutions Group, AMD * Jay Ruffin, Principal, Diamond Consulting * Dr. Carl Kesselman, Co-Founder and Chief Scientist, Univa UD The Challenge: Cost-Effective High-Performance Computing Today's insurance companies deal with a range of IT challenges related to limited data processing capabilities in areas like: * Enterprise Risk Management * Predictive Modeling * Actuarial / Policy Administration * Telematics * OCR and Text Mining In such IT environments, information is silo-ed and adding capacity can be an expensive and arduous process. In addition, computing power limitations result in longer processing windows and the need to run fewer, or simpler, variations in modeling. Many companies are turning to grid and cluster technology to alleviate the problem – but the traditional proprietary products on the market are extremely costly to operate and maintain, while vendors are increasingly difficult to deal with. The Solution: Industrial-Strength Open Source Solutions Adopting an open source solution for grid and cluster computing let companies avoid vendor locking for maximum flexibility and superior operability. In addition, open source solutions provide significant cost reduction over proprietary solutions with functionality limitations and high price tags. Leveraging this technology now is crucial for successful insurance enterprises to expand their capacity to data-mine for claims, rapidly run more historical data, and perform greater complex calculative analyses for alternative rates in record time. Univa UD offers the leading solution for open source grid and cluster technology. Together with our partners, Univa UD, Sun Microsystems and AMD offer an off-the-shelf, in the box integrated cluster solution that can rapidly accelerate your insurance enterprise. Agenda Topics Include: * Industry Computing Challenges * The Grid Computing Advantage * Usage Scenarios * Architecture Requirements * Getting Started ______________________________________________________________________________________ 怎樣減少垃圾信?只要看到垃圾信,立即按下「這是垃圾信」按鈕。http://tw.promo.yahoo.com/antispam/index.html -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
