Get science done.  Faster.
--------------------------
The Apple Workgroup Cluster for Bioinformatics is the turnkey solution  
that
puts the power of computational clusters in the hands of researchers  
like
you.  With more than 200 preinstalled bioinformatics applications  
accessible
through an intuitive web-based interface, and boasting the power of the
Xserve G5, it's an easy-to-use, comprehensive tool for life science
research.

At this FREE seminar, you'll see how the power of the 64-bit hardware
architecture of the Apple Workgroup Cluster and Mac OS X Server "get  
science
done."  From ease of installation to cluster management, it allows
researchers to focus on science -- and not on keeping the cluster  
running.
The scalable Apple Workgroup Cluster can fit into a small lab with two  
or
four nodes OR handle the largest data sets scaling into the hundreds of
nodes.  At this seminar, you'll discover the AWC's power, performance,  
value
and Apple's trademark ease-of-use, all in ONE integrated solution.

An Apple & BioTeam collaboration.
---------------------------------
Apple and the BioTeam have tailored this event series for Principal
Investigators, Research Scientists in both the Life and Physical  
Sciences,
Bioinformaticists, IT Administrators and University Department Heads.

We invite you to explore the benefits of High Performance Computing and
Cluster Computing hardware and software solutions for the demanding
computational requirements of modern research environments.
Bioinformaticists need the most powerful technologies available to  
analyze
the ever-growing volume and complexity of genomic data.  However,
researchers prefer those technologies without the excessive  
administrative
burden OR the challenges of insufficient or outdated computing  
resources to
perform those analyses.

Dr. William Van Etten, an esteemed scientist and a recognized Life  
Sciences
consultant, will lead a collaboration between The BioTeam, Inc. and  
Apple to
discuss cost-effective, scalable and manageable cluster computing  
methods
for data analysis on Apple’s Mac OS X Server and the 64-bit platform of  
the
Xserve G5.

Participants will learn:
. How to achieve supercomputing power through High Performance  
Computing and
Cluster Computing.
. The benefits of Cluster Computing.
. How to configure a cluster
. How to 2X or 3X performance and throughput.

Solutions we’ll feature:
. Mac OS X Server
. Xserve G5
. Xserve RAID with Xsan (Cluster File System)
. Platform Computing’s Load Sharing Facility
. Sun Grid Engine
. An overview of Mac OS X Tiger
. Highlights of Xgrid
