| Education
As a company with extensive experience serving
the nation's top educational institutions, MPAK
Technologies has extensive experience meeting
the needs of academic clients. Today we have
close relationships with central IT as well
as individual divisions, departments, and professional
schools in academic institutions around the
country. We have been similarly successful with
the DOE national laboratories, such as Lawrence
Livermore, and Sandia.
As computational needs continue to grow in
complexity, education customers require higher
levels of computational capability. MPAK Technologies
provides high-performance computing solutions
while navigating challenges facing most educational
institutions:
Navigating the Budget
We are very familiar with the budgetary and
technological pressures unique to higher education.
We have assisted colleges and universities around
the country in fitting large solutions into
small budgets, designing modular solutions around
small influxes of grant money, and figuring
out palatable ways to pool the resources of
multiple research groups to make better use
of collective funding. We have special relationships
with most of our vendor partners to ensure special
pricing for academic institutions. We are also
particularly creative when it comes to incorporating
legacy equipment and refurbished gear.
Technology Challenges
Technologically, we understand that universities
often have to manage thousands of home directories,
as well as research projects that may be of
a highly scientific nature or or have other
characteristics that differ from typical corporate
data.
Implementation Challenges
Many of our academic customers have very talented
people available to assist with projects or
even carry out entire implementations. While
we have a full service professional services
organization, we are very flexible and are able
to provide selected subject matter expertise
to complement our clients' in-house talent.
In some cases that means that we manage the
project with their assistance or perform selected
parts of the implementation. In other cases
that means we are simply on call to provide
assistance while they execute the implementation.
