SGI

SUNNYVALE, Calif. (February 17, 2009) — As part of a multi-year collaboration, Silicon Graphics, Inc. (SGI) (NASDAQ: SGIC) today announced it will provide the high-productivity solutions needed to outfit a new world-class cancer research facility in the United Kingdom.

Silicon Graphics has been selected to equip, over the next five or more years, an initiative in integrative network biology at London’s renowned The Institute of Cancer Research. Expected to open in spring 2009, the initiative in integrative network biology at The Institute will arm a team of cancer research pioneers with advanced compute, storage and visualization solutions built, implemented and optimized by Silicon Graphics.

Unlike mainstream cancer research, which usually focuses on the structure and behavior of individual genes, proteins or cells, The Institute’s effort aims to study how networks of cancer cells interact with each other and surrounding tissues to metastasize or spread throughout the body.

Well done to SGI, not only does this illustrate their HPC solutions, it also illustrates the possibilities for HPC across the business/non profit spectrum. Anything we can do to aid cancer research has to be a good thing.
