Massively Parallel Technologies Launches Biotech Community

LOUISVILLE, Colo., (PRLEAP) April 04, 2006 - Massively Parallel Technologies, Inc. (Massively), a provider of on-demand high-performance computing, announced the creation of the BioTech Virtual Power Center (VPC) user forum. More than just a venue for BioTech VPC users to ask questions, share experiences, and compare results, community members will be able to discuss new feature requests and directly influence VPC features and offerings.

“The new forum helps BioTech VPC users to quickly connect with one another,” noted Massively’s CEO, Scott Smith. “Now members of our community can meet and collaborate in one place. Their ideas and feedback are what will ensure continual relevance and value of the VPC beyond standard bioinformatic tools.”

Currently offering a high-performance version of NCBI-based BLAST, the BioTech VPC will be releasing a variety of tools and new services that expand on its current offerings. Not only will members be able to support one another, they will guide new VPC features and capabilities to make it even easier to focus on the science rather than the compute infrastructure.

Massively’s BioTech VPC delivers the benefits of high-performance supercomputing without the costs and complexities associated with users owning and managing their own compute clusters. Using a standard web browser with Internet access, users can take advantage of Massively’s BioTech VPC without investing in any additional hardware or software.
