OCF joins NVIDIA's top table

High-performance computing specialist bags Elite partner status with graphics card giant

High-performance computing, storage and analytics integrator OCF has become only the second firm in northern Europe to bag Elite partner status with NVIDIA.

The top-level badge reflects OCF's ability to integrate a wide portfolio of NVDIA's Accelerated Computing products, and is only dished out to partners with the chops to support the integration of GPUs, OCF said.

OCF has been a business partner of the graphics card vendor for over a decade. It recently designed, integrated and configured ‘Blue Crystal 4', a HPC system at the University of Bristol, which includes 32 nodes with two NVIDIA Tesla P100 GPUs accelerators each.

"For customers using GPUs, or potential customers, earning this specialty ‘underwrites' our service and gives them extra confidence that we possess the skills and knowledge to deliver the processing power to support their businesses," said OCF sales director Steve Reynolds.

"This award complements OCF's portfolio of partner accreditations and demonstrates our commitment to the vendor."
