BANGALORE,INDIA: In a move to revolutionize automotive design and engineering with the help of desk-side supercomputing, Italian sports car manufacturer Ferrari SpA today announced that it would use Microsoft Corp's high-performance computing (HPC) technology to push the boundaries of automotive engineering, design and development.

Ferrari's sport department is one of the first companies to test Microsoft's new high-performance computing system -- Windows HPC Server 2008, said a press release.

Working in close collaboration, Microsoft and Ferrari have developed a high-performance solution for one of the most demanding industries, the release added. Windows HPC Server 2008 dramatically decreases deployment times, improving the ability for firms to bring new products to market.

"Ferrari is always looking for the most advanced technological solutions, and of course, the same applies for software and engineering," said Piergiorgio Grossi, head of information systems at Ferrari.

"Windows HPC Server 2008 is very promising, and the long-lasting collaboration with Ferrari will give directions to develop a fast, familiar, high-performance computing platform for our users, engineers and administrators," he added. "Companies have to be more efficient than ever with IT resources, but they also need to maintain their position in a competitive marketplace," said Chris Philips, general manager of the Windows Server and Solutions group at Microsoft.

"They require HPC solutions that deploy quickly, integrate in a heterogeneous environment and scale from workstation to cluster." "The launch of Windows HPC Server 2008 is just another step in our vision to drive HPC mainstream," said Bill Laing, corporate vice president of the Windows Server and Solutions group at Microsoft.
