Cost Control - Risk Mgmt. White Papers

Life Sciences Solutions: Drug Discovery

Overview Drug discovery researchers working with in silico screening tools can significantly reduce project timelines while increasing discovery capabilities by grid-enabling their applications. In silico drug discovery is extremely CPU-intensive and time-consuming. In addition, combinatorial researchers are faced with massive libraries of molecular data - and building a reliable infrastructure to sift through it all is arduous and computationally demanding. With a Grid MP solution from United Devices, drug discovery researchers can dramatically increase the scope of their work - analyzing hundreds of thousands of molecular candidates in a fraction of previous timeframes.

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
