The company built its reputation on providing easy-to-use technology with no wait time support for clients of all sizes and is extending those values into smart, cost-effective clusters for Big Data.
Nor-Tech President and CEO David Bollig said, “Until recently, small to midsized businesses couldn’t compete with larger companies on analytics unless they hired a third-party to process their data. This posed issues including security, efficiency, and cost. Working with software vendors like Bright, SUSE Linux, and Red Hat, our engineers have been able to develop Big Data analytics clusters that are within the reach of organizations that really need them to level the playing field.”
Businesses of all sizes can use big unstructured data to:
- Gauge market reaction and brand perception
- Identify prime buying factors
- Segment populations to customize marketing, products, and services
- Facilitate experimentation
- Predict outcomes
- Develop new business goals and business models, etc.
Nor-Tech’s enterprise-class Big Data clusters feature:
- High compute intensity
- Increased memory, bandwidth, and throughput
- Intensive parallel processing capabilities
- Increased VMs per core
- Advanced virtualization capabilities
- Dense modular packaging
- High scalability
- Features that facilitate security, compliance, and encryption
- The option to integrate open source technology and support for open innovation
- The reliability and resiliency to accommodate temporary increases in demand without failure
Systems (hardware, firmware, hypervisor, operating system, databases, middleware) are designed, built, tuned, and supported as a single unit, which makes them easier to deploy, scale, and manage. Nor-Tech has 15 years of experience designing and building this technology.
Nor-Tech built the HPC clusters that enabled the first detection of a gravitational wave—a discovery destined to change history. In addition to enterprise-class Big Data analytics and HPC clusters, Nor-Tech’s custom technology includes workstations, desktops, and servers for a range of applications including CAE, CFD, and FEA. Clients include some of the most respected organizations in the world. Nor-Tech engineers average 20+ years of experience and are responsible for significant high performance computing innovations. The company has been in business since 1998 and is headquartered in Burnsville, Minn. just outside of Minneapolis.
