Tags:
application servers

Overview The Distributed Software and Systems Integrations (DSSI) group in the Phantom Works advanced research and development organization at Boeing, a global aerospace company, wanted faster processing of finite element analysis projects and a platform that could handle a spectrum of applications. Engineers processed jobs on local workstations and sought a solution that would speed up service delivery to internal customers. Boeing required a platform that would be easier to use and could accommodate a wide variety of Windows -based applications. The company installed Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 on an HP Cluster Platform 4000 in a lab test-bed environment to evaluate application compatibility and performance.
