<p>Hallo Ivan,</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>since that list is read by readers from many countries and vendors are normally active in certain geographical areas you should specify where the cluster will be located...</p>

<p><span class=rvts6>I am going to purchase a computational cluster very soon (by the end of this year) and would like to get a quote for the configuration: </span></p>
<p><br></p>
<p><span class=rvts6>36 compute nodes (no dedicated master node), </span></p>
<p><br></p>
<p><span class=rvts6>node config: 2x AMD Shanghai Opteron 2380, 2.5 GHz CPUs per node, 8 GB (2x4) DDR2 667 GHz memory, 250 GB HD, IPMI, Infiniband DDR card. </span></p>
<p><br></p>
<p><span class=rvts6>Networking: 36 port Infiniband DDR switch (Melanox, not interested in expensive Qlogic), 48 port managed Gigabit switch </span></p>
<p><br></p>
<p><span class=rvts6>Rack: standard size, 3 simple PDUs (no expensive network managed) </span></p>
<p><br></p>
<p><span class=rvts6>I would appreciate receiving your quotes asap. </span></p>
<p><br></p>
