Nor-Tech’s Simulation Clusters
Nor-Tech’s Simulation Clusters are always integrated with the best platforms for the application.
Nor-Tech is a leading integrator of simulation clusters—with global deployments that range from the world’s finest research institutions to alternative transportation developers to oil and gas exploration to nearly every possible simulation application.
We make it a point to stay on top of the latest software, while remaining agnostic. Our clusters, together with our expert engineers and software partners, ensure every cluster that leaves our facility is the best technology for what the client needs to accomplish.
