North Wind Selects Nor-Tech Again for Next-Generation HPC Cluster

MINNEAPOLIS - Amzeal -- Nor-Tech, a leading systems integrator of high-performance computing solutions, just announced that North Wind Test LLC has selected the company to design and build their next-generation HPC cluster—an advanced, fully customized system that will deliver an 8X increase in computational performance. The decision follows nearly a decade of successful collaboration between the two organizations.

North Wind, a Minnesota-based aerospace and defense engineering firm, specializes in applied R&D, ground test facilities and flight test systems—supporting some of the most sophisticated aerodynamic modeling and propulsion research in the industry.

After evaluating multiple competitors and cloud computing options, North Wind determined that an on-premises HPC solution would deliver the best long-term performance, cost-efficiency, and control.

The new HPC cluster—scheduled for delivery next month—was architected specifically for North Wind's advanced CFD and high-fidelity simulation workloads.

Nor-Tech Executive Vice President Jeff Olson said, "North Wind's decision to work with us again says a lot about the trust we've built and the value we've delivered. Their engineering team knows exactly what they need from an HPC system, and we take pride in delivering a solution that empowers their mission-critical research."
