PRESS RELEASE Commercial Access of IBM Deep Computing on Demand Accelerates

Working with IBM, vendors are electing to make their commercial
applications such as digital animation rendering and automotive design
simulation accessible through IBM's supercomputing architecture "on
demand," which may help eliminate the need for companies to invest in
additional costly IT resources. "Clients who need the analytic capability
of super -high performance computers can now simply 'rent' time on Linux
Clusters or Blue Gene to run these specialized applications and achieve
results never before attainable.
