Server

A server is a system
that responds to
requests across a
computer network to
provide, or help to
provide, a network
service.

supercomputer

A supercomputer has a processing capacity


particularly speed of calculation which can
happen at speeds of nanoseconds

Cluster Computing
A computer cluster consists of a set of
connected computers that work together
so that in many respects they can be
viewed as a single system.

Benefits

Low Cost

Benefits

Elasticity

add and remove


computer resources
to meet the size and
time requirements for
your workloads

FLOPS

In computing, FLOPS (for FLoating-point


Operations Per Second) is a measure of
computer performance, useful in fields of
scientific calculations that make heavy use of
floating-point calculations.
