Penguin Computing has been awarded the 2011 Data Center Solution Innovation Award from Intel during this year’s Intel Solutions Summit. The award is given to the company that best demonstrates the successful deployment and integration of a data center or server solution resulting in superior return on investment for the client.

“The Penguin team developed a differentiated and leading edge offering with Penguin Computing on Demand,” said Charles Wuischpard, CEO, Penguin Computing. “As a company, we are honored to be recognized by Intel for our offering. We will continue to devote our efforts into innovative solutions and maintain a leading role in the space.”

Penguin Computing on Demand is an HPC cloud that offers the flexibility and security of a virtualized user interface with the power and dependability of a bare-metal computing environment. Designed to meet the most demanding technical computing needs, PODs are being used by commercial, academic and government organizations world-wide to augment or replace their on-premise high-performance computing or storage systems.

Intel Solutions Summit is the largest channel event where Platinum Partners get a chance to hear the latest industry and Intel news, attend courses on new technologies and Intel products, and meet with a number of other Intel channel partners.
