By using the right software, your business can cluster Linux systems together to create your own supercomputers or high-availability systems, using standard xSeries or other Intel-based servers as your building blocks.

Linux has reduced the cost of entry for supercomputers dramatically, enabling universities and businesses to turn to this solution when they need to process large amounts of data quickly. For example, emerging companies in life sciences and genomics have turned to supercomputing to solve problems in their research and development.

Enterprise-quality middleware allows massive amounts of data to be stored and managed across Linux clusters, providing high-availability databases. For example:

DB2 UDB Enterprise Extended Edition provides a single database distributed across a cluster of Intel-based servers.
