Certain applications, often in research areas, require sustained bursts of computation that can only be provided by simultaneously harnessing multiple dedicated servers that are not always fully utilized. High Performance Computing (sometimes referred to as "grid computing") removes the limitations of traditional dedicated hosting by providing a highly scalable cluster (shared multiple high-performance servers, storage and memory) hosting platform to provide significantly faster response times in a robust and fault tolerant setting. ITS does not provide this service directly but can assist in referring you to the appropriate vendors to meet your needs.
