Recommended Entry-Level Solution for ANSYS
-- Fully integrated solution based on the Appro GreenBlade™ System

Clusters are the ideal solution for individuals or workgroups who need higher throughput and the ability to run large, detailed simulations that cannot be accomplished on workstations. The Appro Ready-To-Go Clusters are pre-tested and integrated including support and services. As computational needs grow, you can easily scale up using the same cluster building block solution.

Appro Ready-to-Go Clusters are Intel® Cluster Ready (ICR) certified. The Intel Cluster Ready Program makes clusters simpler to buy, deploy and manage. The Appro Ready-to-Go Clusters are pre-tested with the Intel Cluster checker software to help ensure application and component interoperability – from the minute you first power up the cluster through the lifetime of the system. Appro Ready-to-Go clusters are powered by the new Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 series allowing you to unleash today’s leading parallel processing performance, and analyze complex models faster—in a smaller, denser, and more energy-efficient footprint. The net impact: Faster time to value, lower total cost of ownership (TCO), and greater business impact.
