Innovation | Award-winning product development

Nor-Tech doesn't just jump on the bandwagon of the latest technology trends. We're blazing the trail that the bandwagon follows.

Our expert team of engineers, technicians and solution developers are keenly aware of emerging technologies and are constantly designing innovative solutions for the industries ever-evolving needs.

In fact, Nor-Tech's portable cluster won Most Innovative Server Product at Intel's Solutions Summit '08.

Experience | Years of hands-on experience and exclusive access

Nor-Tech has been in the HPC field for the better part of a decade, delivering projects for high-profile organizations such as NSF, NIH and DARPA. Our experience includes HPC and Visualization clusters based on CentOS, Red Hat, Fedora, CCS 2003, Rocks, Warewulf and Suse. Several years ago Microsoft honored Nor-Tech by selecting us to be a Microsoft HPC partner and our engineers and technicians were working with with HPC Server 2008 for nearly a year before its release.

Additionally, Nor-Tech is constantly acquiring new equipment and tools for testing, experimentation and quality assurance. These extra steps in the development process allow us to continually offer the best in cutting-edge technology.

Association | Nor-Tech partners with the best and brightest

Nor-Tech believes in quality by association, which is why we have developed partnerships with only the most reputable industry leaders. Nor-Tech is currently listed as an AMD Platinum Solutions Provider, Intel Premier Provider and Microsoft Gold Certified Partner. These relationships have been earned over time and afford us priority access to products and support.

There are many unique aspects to cluster development, and we choose only the best products, determined by the specific requirements for each project. See the right column for a list of our Total Solution Partners.

Customization | Sometimes the right tool for the job has to be built from the ground up

At Nor-Tech, we develop custom, turnkey solutions, with the emphasis on custom. We understand there are unique challenges that arise with each project and we pride ourselves on our ability to meet these challenges and rise above them.

On one recent build, weight requirements had us weighing individual nuts and bolts. Another project was on such a tight schedule, we had just a few days to bring it from conception to delivery - across country.

It's because of our experience, creativity and resources that we are able to anticipate certain challenges and tackle others as they arise. See our case studies for more examples of project challenges and our solutions.

Presentation | Total solutions, inside and out

Clean Cabling: It's remarkable how often presentation is overlooked by the technology industry. But, who really cares about an overgrown jungle of cords and cables as long as the system works, right? We care, that's who.

Nor-Tech goes the extra mile when it comes to cable selection, considering not only data flow, but also length, placement and appearance. Additionally, cables are clearly and specifically marked making them easily identifiable. The result is a simplified, uncluttered setup that looks as slick as it runs.

Custom Branding: Clusters chassis can be branded with your company's logo or other graphics. Logos can be painted on for a permanent solution or applied as a removable decal.
