Platform Computing hosts distributed and grid computing web seminars in March 2002

Toronto 07 March 2002 Platform Computing organises two live web seminars on distributed and grid computing. The first one on March 12 at 4pm is titled "Grid Computing: A Strategic Business Solution" and the second one on March 14 at 5pm is called "Supercharge Your Technology Now".

The programme of March 12 addresses advancements in grid computing and how to implement and leverage the benefits of a grid computing solution. In an era of cost-cutting, when companies are faced with a growing need to maximise and/or improve efficiencies of existing IT investments, organisations are turning to grid computing as a strategic solution.

Led by Platform Computing's Chairman and CTO, Dr. Songnian Zhou, this interactive web seminar, will discuss the fundamentals of grid computing and how organisations can gain competitive advantage from grid computing by improving collaboration, creating higher quality products andservices, and optimising IT investments.

On March 14, Platform Computing will demonstrate how Platform LSF ActiveCluster can help Life Sciences organisations take advantage of desktop computers to process mission-critical jobs.

Dr. Songnian Zhou will show how Life Sciences organisations can use Platform LSF ActiveCluster to utilise valuable computing resources available in existing desktop computers to process compute-intensive tasks efficiently, complete workloads faster, and increase user productivity.

Dr. Zhou will illustrate to seminar participants how their organisation's desktop clusters can handle the realities of their business, providing the benefits of faster iteration of analyses and greatly reduce time to market.

Advance registration is recommended, as participation is limited.
