Scientists needed access to increasingly powerful computers to run their applications in order to run their calculations. If they can't offer them an outstanding high-performance computing environment, the quality of our research will suffer. The first HP 9000 Superdome provided a sixfold increase in performance over the university's previous IBM SP2 machine. With the move to the HP Integrity Superdome based on the Intel Itanium 2 processor, performance is three to four times faster than the speed of the initial HP Superdome system along with HP-UX 11i Operating System and HP storage area network (SAN) with two Fibre Channel switches.
