Browse our resource center for insight into how Bright Computing is changing the way people manage clusters and clouds.
"Using Bright reduces the labor and effort needed for management and change control, and also facilitates the accelerating trend toward cloud computing."

This case study focuses on cluster management decisions the Geneva Finance Research Institute faced and why they turned to ProfitBricks and Bright Computing for a solution.
Phoenix Analysis & Design Technologies (PADT) established a new Cores on Demand infrastructure as a service (IAAS) product offering in response to its customers’ need for a more affordable way to gain access to the compute power needed for these massive modeling efforts. This case study describes why PADT chose Bright Cluster Manager to manage this service.
THis study describes how Bright OpenStack lets the Van Andel Institute manage both high-performance compute (HPC) grid and cluster computing and cloud computing within the same infrastructure, greatly reducing the labor and effort needed for management and change control.
This case study describes how engineering researchers at Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology (TUAT) use Bright Cluster Manager to focus their efforts on materials science, not the management of IT infrastructure.
This case study describes how Virginia Bioinformatics Institute (VBI) scientists use Bright Cluster Manager to achieve optimal results with their hybrid compute cluster. it shows how Bright Cluster Manager allowed VBI to build out a complex hybrid compute cluster in just 5 days
This case study describes how a large international pharmaceutical company uses Bright Cluster Manager to extend their existing IT infrastructure into the cloud. Now their cloud instances can be provisioned, monitored and managed as easily as their physical servers.
This case study describes how a major manufacturer used Bright Cluster Manager to dramatically reduce the number of required servers and to maximize utilization of the consolidated infrastructure.
This case study explains why a consortium of Austrian universities chose Bright to power its supercomputer, to reduce energy consumption and empower collaboration. This study looks at how the University of Vienna, TU Vienna (TUW), the University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences Vienna, the Graz University of Technology, and several universities in Austria’s southern provinces collaborated to build a 2000+ node cluster, VSC-3, using Bright Cluster Manager.
When the systems management team for the Center for Biological Sequence Analysis (CBS) at the Technical University of Denmark set about upgrading its supercomputer to cater for increasingly sophisticated requirements in high performance computing, they enlisted the expertise of more than 50 top researchers. They spent a year designing and testing an HPC environment that was robust enough to support the rigorous demands of Life Science research, and chose Bright Computing to manage it.
The Maritime Research Institute Netherlands (MARIN) has a dual mission: to provide the nautical industry with innovative design solutions; and to carry out advanced research for the benefit of the sector as a whole. This study will show you how MARIN relied on Bright to expand their cluster without adding personnel, reduced the risk of downtime, and future-proof your its cluster.
