"When we installed a 2,048-core Altix XE cluster for our engineering studies and academic-industry collaboration, we had the benefit of an SGI Project Manager for the installation. The professionalism brought by SGI along with the skills in managing a project of this size helped take a complex installation and drive it to completion."

Project Management
Our project managers provide you with the expert management of vendors and expertise that would otherwise take your focus away from the core competency. Our PMI-certified professionals ensure project quality, bring the project in on time and on budget, reduce costs, manage risk, and help resolve concerns with stakeholder' objectives. Successful projects are ultimately easier to accomplish with one point of contact.

A Midwest Supercomputing Institute never lost focus on their strategic objectives when they extended their Altix system to include a parallel file system for faster I/O performance. They relied on SGI to manage the project, apply our expertise to meet their requirements and leverage our partnership with the 3rd party vendor to deliver a completed project.

"I wanted to express my gratitude to your entire team who has been involved with the ICE and resilience project implementation. Everyone is grateful for the tremendous speed of the implementation of the ICE solution which has given a timely boost to our development programme as well as giving me more resource to develop next years product. I am also very impressed by the levels of professionalism and the care taken in dealing with our critical data during the data transfer phase of the resilience implementation."
