32. Testimonials “If you look at dedicated clusters versus a more flexible [grid] environment where you can take advantage of both new acquisitions and existing systems through a single tool, it’s just a better way to invest your money.” – Jeff Mathers, Director of Research Innovation at Johnson & Johnson PRD, where they saved US$1 million in first year of production “We invested roughly $400K in grid software and figure we saved at least $2 million” – Manuel Peitsch, Novartis “It will help us avoid other investments in high-performance computing data servers.” Steffen Neumann, Project Manager for Consulting and Partnerships DaimlerChrysler Research “The Grid MP platform keeps track of all the data related to our job runs – where the job was executed, what type of machine, how long it took. So not only does the grid save us time, but in automating this function it allows us to define a validated process for job execution. That goes a long way toward achieving FDA compliance.” Mark Sale, Global Director of Research Modeling and Simulation - GlaxoSmithKline “[Grid MP] allows us to simulate very high-speed electronics, without investing in expensive new hardware. Because the performance is faster with the grid, we are able to produce even higher quality results for our clients while passing on the cost savings this speed of production allows." Brian Von Herzen, President - Rapid Prototypes “We're running between 8000 and 10,000 runs a day – an amount that was impossible before, without using our supercomputers.” Dr. David Moffet, Associate VP of Research Computing Purdue University UD CONFIDENTIAL
