UNC announces intention to buy cluster from Dell
UNC's Informational Technology Services has announced plans to buy a 1024 processor cluster from Dell.
The new, cost-effective cluster will aid in computer research and analysis, according to a press release. The University's current systems are used effectively, but officials stressed the need to increase productivity and resources for research.
The Dell cluster will be installed in November. In the release, Dan Reed, vice chancellor for information technology, said the new resource is important to development at UNC.
