Enterprise and consumer hardware has advanced in the last few years to the point that anything with moving parts becomes a significant bottleneck for data transfer. Hard disk drives (HDDs) are often the “weakest link” in serving information from a data center to the end user. In high IO environments (such as virtual desktop infrastructures), …

In a previous post, we talked about the inherent differences and security risks between a High Performance Computing (HPC) system (computer clusters) and a traditional enterprise network. In order to secure a cluster it must be treated as a single unit and not as a collection of independent networked machines and thus HPC requires a …
This is a two part blog. Today we’re going to talk about the risks many companies face in securing High Performance Computing (HPC) environments and then tomorrow we’ll talk about ways to properly secure such HPC systems. Large-scale commodity cluster systems are finding increasing deployment in academic, research, and commercial settings. Coupled with this increasing …
