Queen's University in Belfast has long invested in High-Performance Computing (HPC), but less-technical researchers rarely took advantage of these resources, finding the learning curve of UNIX and Linux too steep. Queen's University wanted to make HPC more widely available and deploy a system that could run a greater variety of third-party software. The university turned to Microsoft Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003. With the new computer cluster, researchers can solve complex computational problems by running financial modeling, data analysis and visualization, and many standard UNIX/Linux imaging and engineering applications in a more familiar environment.
