Revolutionising HPC Deployment

Our Cluster in a Box, designed for universities and spinouts, revolutionises HPC deployment. Powered by Proxmox Virtual Environment, it provides a cost-effective, open-source platform for managing virtual machines and storage. Unlike expensive alternatives like Nutanix, Proxmox in Cluster in a Box offers a pre-configured, scalable cluster that simplifies setup, saving your team time and budget.

For compute-intensive research, we integrate Slurm Workload Manager, an open-source job scheduler that maximises efficiency for AI, bioinformatics, and physics. Built into Cluster in a Box, Slurm ensures fault-tolerant performance with extensive community support, avoiding costly licenses. This empowers your university to tackle ambitious projects without financial strain.

Choose Novatech to redefine academic IT. With Cluster in a Box, combining Linux, Proxmox, and Slurm, plus innovative storage like SupremeRAID™, we deliver unmatched performance and value.
